Level Up Your Love: The Ultimate Guide to Nerdy Wedding Themes
Are you ready to roll a natural 20 for the most legendary wedding ever?! Whether you’re dreaming of saying “I do” under the floating candles of Hogwarts, engaging in an epic lightsaber battle for the bouquet, or leveling up with your Player Two, a nerdy wedding theme is the perfect way to make your special day uniquely YOU!
Forget the cookie-cutter weddings—this is your chance to throw a celebration filled with your favorite fandoms, creativity, and an extra sprinkle of geeky magic. So grab your wands, lightsabers, and D20s, because we’re diving into the ultimate guide to nerdy wedding themes!
1. The Magic of Harry Potter Weddings
If you’ve always dreamed of whispering “I solemnly swear I am up to no good” before walking down the aisle, then a Harry Potter wedding is practically your destiny (or maybe just a well-planned prophecy)!
Transform your venue into a wizarding wonderland with floating candles, house banners, and tables named after iconic locations like the Great Hall or Forbidden Forest. Have guests sip on Butterbeer while getting Sorted at the cocktail hour (bonus points for actual Sorting Hat shenanigans!).
For the ceremony, imagine walking down the aisle to the Hedwig’s Theme and exchanging rings in front of a glowing Always sign. And for the reception? A spellbinding dance under twinkling lights will leave your guests completely enchanted (no love potions required).
2. The Force is Strong with Star Wars Weddings
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… you two fell in love. And now, it’s time to turn that saga into an unforgettable wedding!
Start with invitations featuring “Join us as we unite our forces” to set the tone. Have a Jedi officiant (bonus if they use full Yoda-speak) and swap traditional rice or confetti for a glorious exit under a tunnel of glowing lightsabers.
At the reception, think Death Star cake toppers, TIE Fighter escort cards, and guests choosing between the Light and Dark Side for their seating arrangements. Whether you’re Team Rebel Alliance or Team Empire, one thing is certain: the Force will be with you always.
3. Dungeons & Dragons: Roll for Romance
For couples who found love over late-night campaigns and dice rolls, a Dungeons & Dragons wedding is an absolute critical hit.
Kick things off with Roll for RSVP invitations and transform your venue into a medieval tavern or castle. Encourage guests to don their best cloaks and elven crowns, and instead of tossing the bouquet, have guests roll initiative for it (because competition is everything).
For the ceremony, incorporate a dice roll into your vows—“Roll for Persuasion” to see if your partner will take you as their lawful (or chaotic) spouse! Add dragon-scale cupcakes, ale-inspired cocktails, and maybe even a mini-campaign during cocktail hour. This wedding theme is guaranteed to roll a nat 20 on romance!
4. Marvel vs. DC: The Ultimate Showdown
Can a Marvel fan marry a DC fan? ABSOLUTELY. And your wedding is the perfect battleground for this legendary crossover event.
Start with comic book-style invitations and split your venue into Marvel and DC zones. Tables can be themed after your favorite superheroes (Team Avengers vs. Team Justice League, anyone?), and your wedding cake can feature an epic Marvel vs. DC design.
At the ceremony, have a superhero ring bearer carry the rings in a mini Mjölnir or Batmobile. Guests can sip on themed cocktails like a Hulk Smash or Wonder Woman-tini. With this theme, your wedding won’t just be a love story—it’ll be a cinematic masterpiece!
5. Pokémon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All (Including Love!)
If your relationship is basically two trainers teaming up for a lifelong double battle, a Pokémon-themed wedding is a perfect fit!
Start with Pokéball invitations, and encourage guests to rep their favorite Pokémon in their outfits. Walk down the aisle to the iconic Pokémon theme (“I wanna be the very best…” ?) and exchange vows under a floral archway shaped like a Pokéball.
At the reception, serve a Pikachu cake and set up a photo booth with props like Ash’s hat and mini Pokédexes. Hand out Pokéball wedding favors because, let’s be real, your love is rarer than a shiny Charizard!
6. Video Game Wedding Themes: Press Start to Begin
If you and your partner have spent countless hours side by side in front of a screen (and still love each other even after Mario Kart rage moments), a video game wedding is the way to go!
Start with pixel-art invitations and a ceremony backdrop featuring classic 8-bit designs. Walk down the aisle to the Legend of Zelda theme, and maybe even accessorize with a bouquet made from controller buttons.
For the reception, set up gaming stations for guests to enjoy (a Smash Bros. battle instead of a garter toss? YES PLEASE!). A GameCube-shaped cake or Pac-Man-themed dessert table will bring in all the nostalgic joy. With this theme, it’s game over for boring weddings.
7. Lord of the Rings: One Wedding to Rule Them All
If Middle-earth feels more like home, then a Lord of the Rings wedding is your precious.
Send out parchment-style invitations with Elvish script and exchange vows under an ancient tree or archway. Your wedding party can be dressed as elves, hobbits, or dwarves (bonus points for someone carrying a tiny One Ring).
At the reception, serve hearty hobbit-inspired dishes and decorate with lanterns, greenery, and gold accents to mimic Rivendell or the Shire. With the right details, your wedding will be a tale of legend.
8. Disney: A Tale as Old as Time
Calling all Disney fans! A fairytale wedding is the perfect way to make your happily ever after come true.
Start with invitations featuring your favorite Disney couple and walk down the aisle to A Whole New World or Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Decorate with magical elements inspired by your favorite movies—think Beauty and the Beast centerpieces or Little Mermaid seashells.
At the reception, serve Mickey-shaped desserts and make a grand exit in a Cinderella-style carriage. With a little pixie dust, your wedding will be practically perfect in every way.
9. Steampunk: Gears, Goggles, and Glamour
For couples who love vintage aesthetics with a sci-fi twist, a steampunk wedding is pure Victorian wonder.
Start with metallic-themed invitations and rock a top hat, corset, or mechanical accessories. Your venue can feature gears, cogs, and antique decor to create that classic steampunk atmosphere.
At the reception, serve drinks in vintage glassware, have a dessert table with gear-shaped treats, and dance under Edison bulbs. This theme will transport guests to a gorgeously mechanized world of romance!
10. Mix-and-Match Fandoms: The Ultimate Crossover Event
Can’t pick just one? Combine your favorite fandoms for a mega-nerd wedding!
Mix Star Wars decor with Harry Potter cocktails, or throw in Marvel, Pokémon, and D&D for an unforgettable mashup. Your wedding cake can be a fandom fusion, and your playlist? An epic mix of your favorite soundtracks.
Final Thoughts
No matter which nerdy theme you choose, remember: your wedding is all about celebrating YOU! Whether you’re wizards, Jedi, Pokémon trainers, or superheroes, your love story deserves an epic wedding to match.
Now, go forth and plan a wedding that will be legendary in your own fandom universe!
I'm Amazing!
I’m a little… different. Think of me as the chaotic good of wedding photography—I thrive on creativity, spontaneity, and capturing love stories that break the mold. I’m a HUGE nerd and a hopeless romantic.
Posing can feel as awkward as your first time waking up to, "oh it's you, you're finally awake." (Currently holding my breathe for the couples that know that reference!) I have been there! That’s why you deserve a photographer who gets it, who makes you feel comfortable, and who will have you laughing so hard you forget the camera is even there. (Seriously, I’m incredibly silly, and I’ll probably say something ridiculous just to get that real, genuine smile out of you.)
I live for the unfiltered, joy-filled, beautifully messy moments—whether it’s the emotion of your first dance, the bouquet toss, or the inside jokes that only you and your partner understand. Your wedding day should be as uniquely you as your fandoms, your inside jokes, and your love story.
Are you the kind of person who follows the rules just because? No? Then why have a wedding that does? Ditch the cookie-cutter and embrace your weird, wonderful, nerdy selves. Hire not just a photographer, but a fellow geek, an adventurer, and a storyteller who will capture your love story in all its epic, legendary, and meme-worthy glory.

"Amazing is just that, amazing! It was overwhelming to find the right photographer for our engagement session and wedding, but I’m so glad we found her! At the time, my husband and I were living overseas but Amazing kept constant communication with us even with the 8 hour time difference. When we finally got to meet her in person she was so sweet and made both us feel comfortable right away. When we got back our photos from the engagement session, we knew we made the right choice! On the day of the wedding, Amazing and her team were on time, professional, and we’re able to get the shots they needed even with our large bridal party. Our photos are absolutely perfect and we couldn’t be happier. I will always recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a photographer and I hope we can use her again for more photos in the future! Thank you Amazing."

Testimonials
"There are not enough stars I could give, or positive words I could say. Amazing was an exceptional photographer for our wedding. She helped make the day as stress free as possible. She worked seamlessly with our coordinator to capture all the best moments. The weather was uncooperative for the entire day, but that didn’t slow her down, she rolled with it. She was out in the rain with my husband and I doing our first look, and then capturing some of the most beautiful before pics. She somehow managed to be both easy going and direct. She had great communication leading up to and during the wedding day. Honestly, if she lived near me I would have Amazing take all of my professional photos! Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!"
