Union - Wedding and Event WordPress Theme for Variant & Visual Composer 2.0.1

Union is a versatile and highly popular WordPress theme specifically tailored for weddings, high-end events, and professional photography. While many other themes are sticking purely to Elementor in 2026, Union remains a favorite for its unique integration with the Variant Page Builder and Visual Composer (WPBakery).

It is designed to be "romantic yet technical," providing a high level of aesthetic polish without requiring a developer.

Core Highlights

Variant & Visual Composer Duo: Union is one of the few themes that lets you choose your preferred workflow. You can use Visual Composer for structured, back-end building or Variant for a fast, intuitive "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" experience.

Stackable Design System: The theme uses a "Stack" layout logic, making it incredibly easy to assemble one-page wedding invitations or complex event schedules by simply stacking pre-designed blocks.

Retina & High-Res Optimization: Essential for weddings—the theme ensures that your professional photography remains the star, with sharp rendering on everything from mobile screens to 4K monitors.

WPML & RTL Ready: Perfect for destination weddings or international events, allowing you to easily create multilingual sites for guests coming from across the globe.

Key Features for Weddings & Events

RSVP Form Management: Includes a clean, stylized RSVP system that allows guests to confirm their attendance, select meal preferences, and leave notes for the couple.

Countdown Timers: Built-in animated timers to build excitement for the "Big Day."

Gift Registry Integration: Dedicated sections to link to external registries (Amazon, Zola, etc.) or display curated gift lists.

Location & Map Modules: Custom Google Maps styling that matches the theme’s aesthetic, helping guests find the ceremony and reception venues easily.

Photography-First Galleries: Features masonry and grid layouts designed specifically to showcase high-volume wedding albums without slowing down the site.

Is Union Right for You?

Choose Union if: You want to build a wedding site fast. The Variant builder is one of the quickest tools for assembling a professional-looking one-page site. It's also ideal if you prefer the classic WPBakery workflow.

Skip Union if: You are looking for a "fairytale" look with heavy floral borders and script fonts out of the box. Union leans more towards modern, clean, and professional aesthetics.

Would you like me to help you set up the RSVP form logic in Union, or are you looking for a recommendation for a "Guestbook" plugin to pair with this theme?
