All She Wrote Books, a queer and feminist bookstore in Sommerville, Massachusetts, is opening itself up for weddings.

The store offers three wedding tiers ranging from $350 – $900, which include services like sound system access, photographers, and even book concierges. Their website also says they’ll help coordinate the event. The first wedding will take place in January 2025.

“Finding community right now is going to be really crucial, and I think that’s where we come in, and that’s where our focus is… about making sure the community feels seen and heard.”

The goal of the store, after all, is to build community through inclusive stories and to create a space where queer people can strengthen connections with one another.
