Austin and Catherine McBroom, who run the ACE family YouTube channel, announced they are launching a family festival and 10 VIP ticket holders will be invited to their wedding.
The ACE Family, which has 18.9 million YouTube subscribers where they post family vlogs featuring the McBrooms and their three children, has been involved in several controversies over the past few years. Most recently in October 2021, they lost ownership of their $10 million mansion following an $8.7 million debt. They now live in a new luxury home with a home cinema and jacuzzi.
In their most recent video posted March 19 titled "The End of the ACE Family on YouTube," the couple said they are planning to quit YouTube at the end of 2022 to travel and "spend time with our family," and announced they will be hosting an event called the ACE Family Fest in August. The event website describes the festival as "Disneyland meets Coachella," with people of "all ages" going on rides, interacting with wildlife, and watching live performances.
Austin said the festival is going to be a "full experience" where attendees can "interact with all the other ACE family members," adding that two VIP ticket holders will be chosen to "join us at our wedding at the end of this year."
According to the ACE Family Fest website, the event will take place in August and there will be 5,000 tickets available, which are set to go on sale in April. It appears that tickets will only be available to buy in bulk. The website lists one package that costs $299 for three tickets, while the "ACE VIP pass" package costs $499 for five tickets, and two of these pass holders will be chosen to attend the McBroom's wedding, along with their four guests.
The couple has been involved in several litigation battles over the past year. Catherine was sued in April 2021 by a cosmetics company that said she tried to stage a "takeover" of a skincare line she was supposed to be co-managing with them. Catherine denied these allegations in a court filing she submitted in July 2021, Insider reported.
Austin was sued by the city of Beverly Hills in October 2021 for hosting what they say was an unsanctioned gathering. Representatives for McBroom did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment at the time.
