Wedding Device Mechanical & Electromechanical Design

I have an idea for a motion-enabled wedding device and now need an experienced mechanical engineer to turn that concept into a working prototype. The product sits firmly in the “functional wedding product” space—think something guests can interact with during the ceremony or reception—so smooth, reliable motion or automation is at the heart of the brief. Here’s what I need from you: • Translate my sketches and notes into full mechanical and electromechanical designs using industry-standard CAD software such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360. • Select or specify off-the-shelf components (motors, gears, micro-controllers, power source) that keep costs sensible without sacrificing reliability. • Build—or coordinate the build—of a physical prototype ready for real-world testing. If you already work with a trusted manufacturer, great; if you can fabricate in-house, that works too. • Provide complete production files (drawings, STEP files, BOM, simple assembly guide) so we can seamlessly transition to small-batch manufacturing once the prototype is approved. Success looks like a fully functioning unit that performs its automated motion smoothly, withstands typical wedding-day handling, and can be produced at scale without breaking the budget. If this sounds like a project you can champion, please share examples of similar mechatronic or consumer-event devices you’ve delivered, along with a brief note on your preferred prototyping path and estimated timeline.
