Anne Marie Carroll spent $680 (£514) on a Sony camcorder from Amazon in April 2025. Less than a year later, the business she built around it, Wedding Weekender, has pulled in $1.7 million (£1.28 million) in sales and is on track to hit $2 million (£1.51 million) by May, CNBC reported.
The Denver-based company rents camcorders to couples getting married and edits the footage their guests capture into short wedding films. Its core package costs $729 (£551) for one camcorder and a three- to five-minute edited video. A deluxe option at $989 (£747) includes two camcorders and a longer film.
