Wedding Season Event 2023: How To Get Heart Crystals & Every Wedding Item
Wedding Season is a limited-time holiday event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) taking place throughout the month of June! Learn how to get the most Heart Crystals 
and all of the Wedding Furniture items in this guide.
This event was implemented for 2022 and future years with the major Version 2.0 Update released in November 2021, so you’ll need to have updated your copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to experience the event after 2021.
Guide Contents
Wedding Season Event Start Date & Time
The Wedding Season event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons starts on June 1st running for the entire month of June until June 30th during every year in both Northern and Southern Hemisphere! This includes 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and beyond.
Note that older versions of Animal Crossing: New Horizons may not feature Wedding Season in a given year — you must be updated to Version 2.0 or later for the event to be available every year.
How To Play Wedding Season Event
When the Wedding Season event begins on your island, there will be a morning announcement from Isabelle sharing how she can feel love in the air marking the beginning of wedding season! According to her, anyone who is married in June will be blessed with a lifetime of happiness.
After the morning announcements, you’ll receive a phone call from Harvey on your NookPhone when leaving your house! He’ll fill you in on the Wedding Season activities happening on his Photopia island where Reese and Cyrus can be found.
To visit Harvey’s island with Reese & Cyrus, head to your Airport in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and speak to Orville at the counter. Just tell him that you want to fly and select the ‘Visit Harv’s Island’ option.
When you arrive on the island, you’ll meet Harvey conversing with the special guests of Wedding Season — Reese and Cyrus! They’re celebrating their wedding anniversary in June and need your help decorating for their photos.
After you meet them for the first time, Harvey will take you into his Wedding Picture Studio, which is unfortunately rather empty. That’s where you come in to help decorate it for the lovebirds using a brand new set of Wedding Season furniture!
When you’re visiting Harvey’s Island on subsequent days during June, make sure to talk to him outside the studio each day to enter the Wedding Picture Studio. If you just walk straight in, you’ll end up in the regular non-event version.
How To Decorate Photo Shoots For Reese & Cyrus
Once you’re inside of Harvey’s Wedding Picture Studio, speak with Reese to find out exactly what kind of photo shoot you’ll be taking for the couple today. The first time you play this event, you’ll be asked to decorate the studio with a Ceremony theme using White and Pink items, but this can change on subsequent days.
To get started with decorating, press the Down Button on the D-Pad to enter designer mode, and then press the Right Button to access your available items to begin decorating for Reese & Cyrus! You’ll want to focus on including the special Wedding Season items found under the Event tab, but you can add other regular items from your catalog too.
It’s worth noting that you can easily adjust the variation of any customizable item while inside of Harvey’s studio by pressing the X button either on a placed item, or when inside of the catalog menu. Almost every piece of Wedding Season furniture has multiple customization options that you can use later on in the event.
When you’ve finished decorating the wedding studio with all the items you want, press the ZL Button to open the Camera, then press the + Button to take your wedding anniversary photo of Reese & Cyrus! It doesn’t matter what’s actually in your photo though, it can be taken anywhere.
After you’ve taken a photo with the Camera app, speak to Reese and show off your photo! Keep in mind that if you took multiple photos only the very last one you captured will be used. Reese will let you know what she thinks of your photo and decorations, then reward you with some valuable Heart Crystals !
If it’s your first time doing a photo shoot for Reese & Cyrus during the Wedding Season event, you’ll also receive the Wedding Bench item from Reese for free as a reward. Other items are given for free when completing later photo shoots, like the Wedding Table and Reese & Cyrus Photo Plate.
How To Get Heart Crystals
Each time you complete a Photo Shoot for Reese & Cyrus inside of Harvey’s Studio, you’ll receive some Heart Crystal event crafting material from Reese! Throughout the month of June while the Wedding Season event is taking place, you can take a new photo shoot with Reese & Cyrus every single day to win more Heart Crystals  and get more special items.
If you don’t have room to fit Heart Crystals in your inventory, don’t worry as they’ll be sent to your mailbox at home instead. Be sure to check there if you’re missing some crystals you worked hard for and can’t find!
Minimum & Maximum Possible Amount of Daily Heart Crystals
There are essentially two parts to the Wedding Season event — the first six days of photo shoots where you start off with limited items, and the remaining days of the month afterwards where customizations are unlocked.
During your first six days of Wedding Season photo shoots, you can get a minimum of 4 Heart Crystals and a maximum of 14 Heart Crystals  from Reese daily.
Later after you’ve completed the party photo shoot and unlocked all items, the maximum amount per day increases to 18 Heart Crystals  from Day 7 on!
Best Decorating Strategy To Get Most Heart Crystals
If you’re looking to maximize the amount of Heart Crystals you can get each day with ease, we’re unfortunately going to have to shatter the illusion — the formula is very simple.
Reese & Cyrus don’t use any sort of complicated algorithm to determine your prize, it’s as simple as placing a lot of Wedding Season items in the studio! There’s actually no need to be diverse either, you can simply spam the same item repeatedly if you wish.
Of course, this isn’t exactly the most fun ways to play the event and likely not what the developers intended. If you enjoy decorating and playing with furniture, there’s no reason you can’t go about the event as you wish — just keep in mind you may not receive the maximum amount of Heart Crystals .
The easiest way to maximize your Heart Crystals is to simply place one item and replicate as many as you can possibly fit in the room, with the benefit maxing out at around 25 items. The Wedding Decoration item is ideal for this initially because it can be placed on walls where there is ample space on all sides. You can also use a one-tile floor item like the Wedding Flower Stand when unlocked.
Follow The Daily Theme From Reese
However, after you unlock the customization versions of Wedding items on the 7th day, you do need to ensure you follow the correct item theme.
To do this, you’ll need to make use of the Wedding Furniture variations. You can change the variation or customization of an item inside the studio by simply pressing the X button with your cursor over an item to bring up the variation menu.
Cute Set – Pink, White
When Reese asks for the Cute Set Theme, you don’t need to make any variation changes — just use the defaults!
Chic Set – Brown, Beige, Black
When Reese asks for the Chic Set Theme, customize all of your Wedding items with the X button to the Chic variation to get the optimal score! For the Wedding Pipe Organ item, use the Dark Brown variation.
Garden Set – Green, Yellow, Brown
When Reese asks for the Garden Set Theme, customize all of your Wedding items with the X button to the Garden variation to get the optimal score! For the Wedding Pipe Organ item, use the Natural variation.
How To Get Wedding Season Furniture & Items
You can get event exclusive Wedding Season items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons during June by exchanging Heart Crystals to Cyrus and completing enough Photo Shoots.
Additionally, new items were introduced starting in 2021 that can be purchased directly from Nook Shopping and Able Sisters — see a full list of them later in this section.
Exchange Heart Crystals For Wedding Items From Cyrus
The main way to get new Wedding Season items during the event is to spend Heart Crystals by talking to Cyrus in the Wedding Photo Studio! He sells 26 different Wedding themed items including furniture, flooring, wallpaper, rugs, and clothing for various prices.
However, it’s worth noting that the selection available at Cyrus’ shop starts off rather small with only 5 items for sale. He’ll expand his selection of purchasable items with Heart Crystals as you complete more Photo Shoots for him and Reese.
When you trade your Heart Crystals in for items from Cyrus, they’ll be delivered to you in your mailbox later, so don’t expect to find them in your inventory. Additionally, there is an order limit of 8 items at a time before Cyrus will stop taking orders.
The table below covers all of the different wedding themed items you can purchase and exchange from Cyrus during the limited-time Wedding Season event! You can easily filter the table using the Search field, or sort by Heart Crystal Cost and Photo Shoots Unlock.

How Many Heart Crystals Do You Need For Every Item?
If you want to buy one of every unique wedding themed item available from Cyrus during the Wedding Season event, you’ll need to earn and spend at least 261 Heart Crystals . However, some items such as the Wedding Bench are given once for free by Reese when completing Photo Shoots.
Not everyone may want to get every item though, so what if you only get the furniture items and skip out on the clothing? You’ll only need about 197 Heart Crystals then, or 101 if you exclude the wallpapers, floorings, and rugs too.
However, one curve ball to keep in mind is that many of the Wedding Season items have excellent variations, so you might want multiples of furniture so you can display variations at the same time. You’ll need 303 Heart Crystals to get all of the customizable furniture three times, not including any other items.
How Many Heart Crystals Can You Get During Wedding Season?
Our research indicates that you can receive up to 14 Heart Crystals per photo shoot in the first 6 days, and up to 18 Heart Crystals during the rest of Wedding Season. You can do a photo shoot once per day throughout June.
With 30 days in June, that means you could possibly earn as many as 516 Heart Crystals if you completed a photo shoot with a maximum score every single day of the event.
