Looking for a magnet machine that pays for itself in your first month? At $799.99 with supplies costs at $0.90 per magnet and bundle prices at $12.99, makers keep over 70% profit margins — and many grow to earning $750–$1,500/month part-time. 

Expanding your magnet machine business into wedding events is one of the smartest moves makers make. Instead of selling magnets one by one online, you show up, set up, and charge by the event — often landing 3-5x more per hour than e-commerce sales. Here's your checklist for getting started.

What You Need to Start Wedding Magnet Services

• A reliable magnet maker kit ($799.99+) for quick turnaround at events
• Printer, mobile battery and a laptop for editing and printing photos
• Travel-friendly setup: folding table, backdrop, business cards, price sheet
• Sample designs pre-made for guests to preview quality on the spot
• QR code linking to your online shop for follow-up orders

Set Your Event Pricing Strategy

One of the biggest advantages of event-based work: you're not limited to per-magnet pricing. Venues often pay $600–$1200 for a 3-hour wedding reception. Add custom design fees for personalized magnets and you can double or triple your take-home.

"I charged $1500 for a 4-hour wedding. That night I made 78 magnets — at my normal $2.50 profit each, I'd have made $195 online. Instead I kept the full $1500." — Real maker feedback

Build Your Wedding Portfolio Fast

Start by offering discounts to friends' weddings or local venues in exchange for photos. Couples love visual proof. Build a simple album showing your magnets at real events, then use it to land bigger contracts. Each wedding becomes a networking moment — guests take magnets home, see your brand, and book you for their own events.
