When is Wedding Season?

Wedding Season Dates

The Wedding Season event lasts from June 1 to 30! This is for everyone whether you are on the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere.

Starts on June 1 at 5 AM

The Wedding Season Event begins on June 1, but it cannot be played until after 5:00 AM. This is when the day starts for all events in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you have your Switch's time changed to a date other than the present, you will need to set it between June 1 and June 30 to participate.

Unlock Harv's Island

Before you can participate in this event, make sure you have unlocked Harvey's island first! He will visit your island after you prepare the 3 house lots in the beginning.

How to Unlock Harvey's Island and Photopia

What Do You Do for the Wedding Event?

Receive an Invite from Harvey to His Island

On the day of the event, Harvey will call you on your NookPhone, asking for help at Photopia. Let's get to the Airport and fly to Harv's island to start the event!

Take Anniversary Photos in Photopia

Reese and Cyrus need you and Harvey's help to take some lovely Anniversary Photos. Harv's got the location, you've got the decoration skills!

How to Use Photopia

Decorate With Wedding Furniture

Like always, Photopia makes decorating for the perfect snapshots quick and easy.

You can move things around freely and place anything that's already in your Catalogue, so go wild! (But try to keep the couple in mind too!)

Receive Rewards Each Day You Play

After helping with the photoshoot, you will be rewarded once each day. You can get Heart Crystals, which you can use to exchange for wedding items, as well as free Wedding furniture for each day you participate.

This event will run for the whole month of June, so make sure to visit as much as you can!

Get a Higher Rating for More Heart Crystals

High Rating	Low Rating

You will get more Heart Crystals if you get a high rating from Reese. It seems you are graded from the unity of the themed furniture, as well as the number of items placed.

Make sure you decorate the room with Wedding items!

Talk to Harvey to Start the Event

From the second day onwards, you can talk to Harv to start the event!

Decoration Guide to Get Max Heart Crystals

How to Get Max Crystal Hearts Each Day

This is an example of our reccomendations and results from the walkthrough team.

If you get the highest rating from Reese, you can get up to 11 Heart Crystals on the first to sixth days you do the event, and from that point on you can get up to 15 Heart Crystals every day!

This guide is for those who just want to get through the event quickly, without thinking too much about the decoration, or those who want to unlock all items before taking wonderful wedding photos with our two favorite Alpacas!

Days 1 to 6: Place 16 Pieces of Added Wedding Furniture

From the first day up to the sixth day, you can get up to 11 Heart Crystals if you get the highest rating possible.

To do so, we recommend placing 16 pieces of Wedding furniture that were added to the catalog before the shoot on that day.

As you can see in the image, the placement of the furniture does not matter, so you can easily ace this.

Day 7 and Onwards: 8 Pieces of Wall Decor and Lots of Themed Furniture

These are our recommended pieces of furniture sorted by Reese's themes: chic, garden, and cute.

Chic Set

Chic
Wedding Decoration (Chic)	Natuaral Square Table

Along with the Chic variation of the Wedding Decoration, we recommend using the Natural Square Table as it can be easily placed without having to customize its color.

Garden Set

Garden
Wedding Decoration (Garden)	Iron Garden Chair

For the Garden theme, we recommend using the Garden variation of the Wedding Decoration and the Iron Garden Chair, as it can be easily placed without having to customize its color.

Cute Set

Cute
Wedding Decoration (Cute)	Wedding Chair

Both the Wedding Chair and the cute variation of the Wedding Decoration are naturally pink and white in color, so this goes perfectly with the theme!

Will Reese and Cyrus Visit Your Island?

They Will Not Come to the Island as Visitors

Reese

Cyrus

While it is heartbreaking, the two Alpaca seem to be only passing through for now. We're hoping they'll be back again more permanently, along with a Nook's Cranny upgrade, or an entirely new shop.

Since they don't come to your island, you also don't unlock any further customization options through this event, unfortunately! Crafting is nice and all, but it can take a lot of time and resources.

To make it a bit easier, you can use our Trading Board below:

Trading Board

What to Do if the Event Won't Start

Make sure your Switch has the correct date and time

Check If Your Version is V1.2.1 c

You have to download the next update which contains the data for the Wedding Season event.

Your Switch system needs to match the time and date in real life to participate. If you have time-travelled, you need to connect to the internet and sync with real time.

How to Update and Update Patch Notes

Connect to the Internet

If your Nintendo Switch has not connected to the Internet since before midnight on June 1, the Wedding Season Event will not start, even if your in-game clock is on the correct date.

Although a notification for an update will not occur, your Switch will still need to connect to the Internet to gain access to the event.

What is the Wedding Season Event

From Roman Myth to Animal Crossing

June, the month of Juno - The Roman Goddess of Marriage, has been a popular month to get married throughout history.

The origin of the June Bride certainly has amusing and maybe not so flattering facts tied to it, from lovely times were baths were annual, but generally, it's believed that you'll have a happy marriage if the ceremony is in June.

It certainly seems to work well for Cyrus and Reese!
