Joshua Kackos is the founder and CEO of The Wedding Ticket, a platform created to help modern couples approach wedding planning with more clarity, confidence, and support.

Based in the Greater Chicago area, Joshua has spent more than a decade building and leading businesses, including Kast Logistics Inc. and Kast Capital Inc. His background in operations, leadership, and business development shaped the way he thinks about solving practical problems with simple, organized systems.

The Wedding Ticket was born from a real-world challenge many couples face: planning a meaningful celebration while trying to manage the financial pressure that comes with it. Joshua saw an opportunity to create a more thoughtful way for couples and their guests to approach wedding support without making the experience feel uncomfortable or transactional.

When he created The Wedding Ticket, Joshua wanted to build something that both couples and guests could feel comfortable using. Because the platform involves wedding contributions, trust, clarity, and ease of use were important from the beginning. His goal is to make the process feel straightforward, transparent, and respectful for everyone involved.

For Joshua, this work is personal. He believes starting a marriage should feel exciting, not financially overwhelming. His goal is to help couples feel more supported during one of the biggest moments of their lives while giving friends and family a clearer way to be part of the celebration.

As The Wedding Ticket continues to grow, Joshua remains focused on building a platform rooted in transparency, practicality, and care for the couples it serves.
