Gameplay

The player plays as Quinn, a hopeful wedding planner. In every level, the player assists the couple in selecting all the details such as the food, the honeymoon, etc. Once the couple has taken their vows, the player has to look out for obstacles that can wreck their perfect wedding party. There are two modes in this game, similar to Diner Dash: "Career Mode" and "Endless Reception". In Career Mode, the player must pay attention to their clients' wishes (the bride and groom) for the food, honeymoon destination, flowers, and cake. The wedding planner (Quinn) must also prevent the bride and groom from seeing any of the disasters that could or are happening at the wedding. In the Endless Reception mode, the player can make the reception last as long as possible without the bride getting angry and turning into a bridezilla. Once the bride turns into a bridezilla, the game ends.

Plot

In Dinertown, Quinn is busy helping a bride prepare her dress. When the bride learns that her wedding planner has quit, she requests for Quinn to take over. Quinn isn't sure about this, but she finally agrees to the task after receiving advice from Flo. Once her first wedding plan is successful, she receives additional requests to prepare for more weddings. After four more successful weddings, she meets and befriends a photographer named Joe Wright.

Sequels

Wedding Dash 2: Rings Around the World

Besides having to keep the bride and groom from seeing any of the disasters that could be or are happening at the wedding, the player must also have the photographer take pictures of the guests. In the "Endless Reception" mode, the player must make the wedding last as long as possible before the groom gets angry and turns into Groom Kong. Once the groom turns into Groom Kong, the game is over.

In the game's story, Quinn is invited by Mr. Bigger, the owner of hotel chains around the world to participate in a competition to select the best wedding planner to plan Mr. Bigger's daughter Adriana's wedding.

Quinn finds out that a competitor named Bella is cheating as she is very determined to win and that Adriana has fallen in love with her photographer, Joe, and doesn't want to go through with this arranged marriage. In the end, Quinn win the contest rejects the prize and Adriana confesses her love to Joe, leaving Bella and Mr. Bigger in defeat.

Wedding Dash: Ready, Aim, Love!

In this Wedding Dash, drawings have changed a small bit, and now the player has a budget to stick to when choosing decor and cakes. In this game, Cupid has several people to shoot before the end of the year or he is out of the job. Along with this, Quinn decides to help Cupid in order for him to shoot Joe, the photographer, so he will propose and Quinn (since his engagement with Adriana was canceled) can finally begin planning her own wedding. At the end of the first ten levels, Cupid reveals that he has been trying to shoot Flo for months, but at the end of fourth level, Quinn gets sneaky and rejects Joe, although she still loves him. The game ends with Cupid shooting his arrow at birds.

Wedding Dash 4-Ever

At the very end, Joe says he imagines his own wedding with Quinn like this when he sees Quinn's mother and father walking down the aisle. Quinn is also holding his hand while he says it.
