What happened to Wedy Weddings on Shark Tank?
Little did the sharks know, Rumaiza and Anas Ali were ready to provide a presentation they would never forget. During their season 15 appearance on “Shark Tank,” the pair not only introduced their app Wedy Wedding, they also introduced a couple that used the app to plan their own nuptials. The bride and groom were actually about to have their wedding on “Shark Tank,” making it the first marriage for the show. And of course, being the amazingly overqualified person he is, Kevin O’Leary is ordained to officiate weddings and was kind enough to marry the couple on the competition show.
Rumaiza and Anas would ask for $300,000 for 5% equity in the company. During their pitch, the couple said they make 24% of every package sold on the app and have made $1.5 million since starting their business with 2022 seeing a huge jump in sales making $510,000 in revenue.
Ultimately, the sharks decided not to make a deal to invest in the wedding app. And though O’Leary said he was impressed by the couple’s presentation, he was already in the wedding space with another “Shark Tank” company called Honey Fund, which is a platform to help engaged couples plan their honeymoon.
What happened to Wedy Wedding after Shark Tank?
Though Rumaiza and Anas Ali did not make a deal, that did not stop them from pushing forward. According to Forbes, following their appearance on “Shark Tank,” they had a waitlist of 2,800 vendors that wanted to offer services through Wedy Wedding. They also received requests to expand their service area to include New York, Orlando, Chicago and more, but there is not word on if and when they decide to take the app nationwide. The couple did express a desire to expand their offerings to include honeymoons and entering the baby sector.
Wedy’s Instagram has over 25K followers and posts wedding inspiration, along with photos from various weddings and a link to the vendors that provided their services, including venues, photographers, catering, and more. They also share the cost of various wedding packages for transparency. On her personal Instagram, Rumaiza shares photos of her travels around the world, as well as from her speaking engagements.
