Our Story Begins

 


Before Ship, we ran Encore in Detroit.
We earned client trust through hard work.
Soon couples were recommending us.

20 Years in 20 Seconds

In over 2 decades, we’ve hosted nearly 10,000 events, trained thousands, and celebrated with millions! Our website features almost 100 blog posts with 5,691 photos, & 266 rentals. Our YouTube channel boasts 224 videos with over 913,965 views. We’ve also patented a color-changing photo booth & champagne shelf system for flower walls.

We don’t just ship DIY rentals – we do it all. From DJs & lighting to custom-built photo booths, draping, dance floors, furniture, centerpieces, chiavari chairs, fireworks, fire breathers & stilt walkers. As one of the largest flower wall companies in the U.S., we offer over 100 stunning walls. It has taken a small village to make Ship Our Wedding happen. We’re grateful to everyone that has been a part of our journey ❤️

 Milestones Built by Experience  

Ship Happens

One of the most challenging moments was in our old warehouse in Rockwood. Little did we know that January 8th, 2015 would change everything. We suffered a devastating electrical fire. The flames damaged furniture, electronics & equipment and caused over $50,000 worth of damage.

The fire tested our patience & dedication. It took a lot of work and we were able to relocate to a larger building in Southfield. In the end, we came out stronger, more confident & 110% determined to help people achieve their dream events.

What We Believe

Positive Event Impact is Our Purpose

At the core of everything we do is authenticity.
Events should leave a positive mark.
We’re about embracing change & finding solutions.
We keep our focus right where it belongs: on you.

Over time industry costs rose. We felt torn that high labor prices prevented couples from planning an event they could afford. Clients told us those do-it-yourself solutions we’re perceived to have fewer quality-driven options. We knew deep down something had to be done.

  • when clients control labor, they spend less money

  • when vendors control labor they are more profitable

And that’s when it hit us—ShipOur.Wedding® was born. Our mission? To shake up the wedding scene, making it more inclusive for everyone. With our rental kits and straightforward setups, we’re all about making sure nobody gets left out of the party just because of a tight budget.

DIY gives you a way to invest your own time in events. You need this when…

  • rental quotes come in over budget

  • local vendors don’t stock what you need
  • ideal vendors don’t service your area
  • buying equip costs more than rent/return

DIY started our industry. Larger companies are more profitable by training their employees to do it & marking up labor costs. This is how vendors do it. Clients need a way to do it themselves when all other solutions are not feasible.

DIY makes events more inclusive

Just the mere fact this niche doesn’t exist needs to be addressed within our industry. Every vendor either does it themselves or subcontracts. Everyone should have the opportunity to plan a beautiful event under budget.

  • last minute vendors charge price premiums
  • scheduling conflict/overbooking services
  • learning new decorating techniques
  • referring vendors instead of your team
  • purchasing rentals with a 12-month ROI
  • over sea orders can take months to ship
  • running out of room storing new rentals

We know how it feels to be in one of the situations above. Instead of turning down business, let’s help you do it yourself! DIY allows vendors to be more profitable in competitive markets. Your success is our only goal.
