This is Rumaiza and Anas Ali, the founders of Wedy, as featured on the April 12th, 2024 episode of Shark Tank! From the moment we created Wedy, the world's first booking platform for incredible wedding packages, we knew our app would be a great fit for this show.
Here Is How It All Happened
- Our wedding app rapidly grew across 11 epic destinations in 4 metro areas in the US. (700+ wedding professionals earned over $1.6M on the Wedy app)
- A Shark Tank producer reached out to us via email.
- We ignored them because we thought it was spam. (True story!)
- They reached out again on Facebook.
- We got on a call, mostly to confirm this was a real person.
- Spoiler alert.
- It was.
Our journey to get on Shark Tank introduced us to some of the most talented people we've ever met. The audition process is super competitive as they receive almost 20,000 applications a season, and only 88 companies air on TV.
How Did Wedy Host the World's First Shark Tank Wedding?
Wedy performed the world's first Shark Tank wedding with Kevin O'Leary as the Wedding Officiant.
Kevin O'Leary Earned $600 as a Wedy Pro
Kevin O'Leary, aka Officiant Wonderful, is ordained in real life and can legally marry couples in the State of California. He came on board and ordained Hannah & Jon's wedding ceremony on the sets of Shark Tank.
