When does the Wedding Season event take place?

The Wedding Season event will take place between June 1st-June 30th 2021 and will be unlocked based on the timezone linked to each player's Nintendo Account. Those without a Nintendo Account won't be able to access the event.

How to start Animal Crossing's Wedding Season event

The event begins with players getting a morning announcement from Isabelle marking the start of Wedding Season. Players will then receive a phone call from Harvey inviting you to his island.

Once there, players are greeted by Reese and Cyrus who need help celebrating their wedding anniversary. Players are now tasked with helping Reese and Cyrus in decorating their photos using Wedding Season furniture.

After meeting him for the first time, Harvey will give players a tour of his photo studio. Sadly, it will be rather empty prompting the players to hop in to help him with the event.

Animal Crossing players can visit Harvey multiple times a month. It is important to note that players need to have a word with him before entering his studio to partake in the Wedding Season event. If the players enter the studio without having a word with Harvey first, they will not activate the event shoot, which won’t give them a chance to earn hearts and Wedding Season items.

When completing the event for the first time, Animal Crossing players must decorate the studio with a ceremony theme using White and Pink items.

After following Reese's instructions and completing the photo op, players must return to her to collect their reward. Completing the shoot for the first time rewards players with the Wedding Bench item.

After the first instance, players must return and speak to Harvey every day to continue with the event. Each day provides a different photo op.

How to get Heart Crystals

Successfully completing each photo shoot for Reese and Cyrus will award players with Heart Crystals that they can spend on furniture and clothing.

Spending Heart Crystals is one of the many ways to earn Wedding Season themed items. The players, however, need to interact with Cyrus to get a chance at grabbing these items. He sells 26 different Wedding themed items including furniture, flooring, wallpaper, rugs, and clothing for varied prices.

It is also important to note that his selection of items for players to purchase will increase as they finish more photoshoots for Cyrus and Reese.

For the first six days of Wedding Season photo shoots, a maximum of 11 Heart Crystals can be earned per day. After unlocking all wedding items on the 7th photoshoot, players can earn up to 15 Heart Crystals per day.
