As it stands right now according to creators with early access the wedding UI in the new pack completely replaces the old base game method of hosting weddings.
I posted this in Speculation and Rumor because I don’t have early access myself and neither does Henford Hen, but they apparently have either seen videos where this is mentioned or had first hand conversations with EA Creator Network members who do have early access. I know @simgirl1010 has early access and perhaps she could confirm this for us? I just think considering the issues people have had with the pack this should be known if true. I also understand that a rather large patch is supposed to precede the pack hopefully to smooth out many of the glitches and problems people had with the early access software.
I am really hoping that they can and do iron out the kinks in this pack before it’s released Wednesday because for a lot of us $20.00 isn’t nothing I do believe the devs always strive to deliver us a quality product, and I know they have not had an easy time of trying to work from home and collaborate over Zoom calls. But, that being said, this pack has been extraordinarily buggy and we deserve a finished product that’s in full working order. I won’t be home at all Wednesday so I intend to fully research how the pack functions on Thursday before I decide on immediate purchase myself and this information is only intended to help you do the same.
Please Do Not use this thread to start bashing on the devs and calling them names! They are people with feelings who work hard to bring us a game we love and who do in fact read these forums even if they don’t always interact here. It costs you nothing to be kind or at least civil in your discourse.

And they had the rewards, too!
And do guests still give gifts to newlyweds or this feature is also gone?
From Carl's Site.
Rewards for Bronze, Silver, and Gold Weddings:
Three Rewards are offered for completing a Wedding with one of the three medals. You will find the reward in your Sim's Household Inventory once they get home. The Bronze reward seems to be a gag gift:
Bronze - Charisma Vol. 1: Diplomacy for Dummies. A Skill book for Charisma
Silver or Higher - Wedding Pillar with Floral Basket and an In Full Bloom Centerpiece
Gold - Royal Crabtree Tea Set, The Food Annihilator, and Tea Magic Personal Brewer along with Silver Rewards

Sometimes, I just want to have a simple wedding. I don't want to have a complicated wedding for every couple I make.
This is a big oversight by the Sims team. I probably won't be getting this pack at all if I'm forced to use this pack's buggy weddings.
Hopefully they won't be buggy once the game is released. 🙂
That’s my hope too, because I really really want the pack. @bixters provided the major bugs are fixed you can keep it simple by only picking 1 or 2 of the traditions like simply exchange vows + kiss which was pretty much the base game weddings. I’m not too upset about the event no longer being goaded because I quit using that a long time ago, though I do think it should have been left as an option for players who want it.
I do one, maybe two wedding events per legacy. The rest are elopements or common law.
I agree. I hope I can still elope without having go to down to city hall in another town. The majority of my married Sims elope.
No need to travel to city hall to elope.
Thanks. Then I'm all good.
Eh I wouldn't count on it. I don't even understand how it can be this buggy for a livestream. You'd think they plan for these types of things in advance
You'd think so but I'm definitely counting on a much smoother experience on release day
I’d love to hear why they don’t have testing done before releases. And allowing “testing” being done with GC is like having everyone watch people throw eggs on their faces. It’s honestly mind boggling.
There were no goals (I turned off the Holiday before scheduling the wedding). There was no option for Bronze, Silver or Gold. When it ended, I got no score, and I got no rewards at all.
I think the new game pack has made it more interesting to get married so I would have to adapt.
I also tried to do a wedding event with goals today and my experience was similar, no goals listed, no reward offered, just a timer at the top.
I'm still planning to buy the pack. I love the new world and the new cas/bb. Hopefully weddings aren't totally broken.
This is the reason why I won't buy it on release. I don't trust that the sims team can manage to fix this so fast without creating new bugs.
As for the base game version of the wedding event, I don't want to loose that option unless we can unlock these items in an alternative way in the new pack. I guess I will have to wait until my supersim unlocked the rewards on the traditional way. I think it is a bad design decision to simply remove the base game option. I don't want to use the new wedding all the time.
Thank you for this info. At least we don't loose this possibility. (at least in this temporary version, let's wait for the final version)
