Understanding Wedding Carbon Offsets
Discover how you can plan a net-zero wedding and celebrate your love story while writing a love letter to our planet. It’s easier and more impactful than you think.
What is a Wedding Carbon Footprint?
Every wedding, no matter how grand or intimate, has a carbon footprint. This is the total amount of greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide) generated by all the activities related to your big day.
Think about guests traveling, the energy used by your venue, the meals served, and even the flowers. All these things contribute to an environmental impact. A wedding carbon offset is a way to balance out this impact for a net-zero wedding.

How Do Wedding Carbon Offsets Work?
A carbon offset is a certified credit that represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions. When you purchase wedding carbon offsets, you’re funding projects that actively reduce or capture greenhouse gases somewhere else in the world.
These can include renewable energy projects like wind or solar farms, reforestation efforts, or capturing methane from landfills. You’re balancing your wedding’s emissions by supporting an equal, positive environmental action.
Offsetting your Wedding is Simple and Meaningful
1. Calculate your wedding’s estimated carbon footprint based on guest count, travel, venue, meals, and more.
2. Choose a Package that fits your event—Silver, Gold, or Diamond—each designed to match different levels of impact and travel.
3. Offset & Celebrate by supporting verified sustainable projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions, making your big day truly net zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is carbon offsetting a perfect solution?
Carbon offsetting is a practical tool for addressing emissions that can’t be eliminated. It’s most effective when combined with efforts to reduce your footprint directly. It’s one part of a larger strategy for a sustainable lifestyle and a net-zero wedding.
How are the wedding carbon offsets verified?
We partner with Terrapass, who ensures all offset projects are independently verified by leading standards bodies. This guarantees that the emission reductions are real, permanent, and additional (meaning they wouldn’t have happened otherwise).
Can I see which projects my money supports?
Absolutely! After offsetting, you’ll receive a certificate and information about the specific environmental projects you’ve supported, such as wind farms, reforestation efforts, or methane capture.
