Planning.Wedding

Planning.Wedding is a shared workspace for couples, families, venues, and professional planners coordinating a wedding. It is a strong fit when guest responses and event logistics should live beside the wedding website, but its automatic project deletion makes it unsuitable as a permanent archive.

Overview

The service combines guest management, scheduling, budgeting, vendor coordination, seating, stationery, notes, files, and a guest photo album. Website RSVP submissions feed the guest-list workspace, so attendance, plus-ones, VIP events, and reminders can be handled alongside the rest of the plan. It supports professional planners without presenting itself as a replacement for them.

Partners, relatives, and friends can update a project together in real time without creating accounts. Cloud storage keeps group changes synchronized across the project. That convenience has a significant trade-off: active projects and their content are removed one year after the last update, and archived projects are removed after five years. Couples who need lasting records should export or preserve them elsewhere before those deadlines.

Key features

Planning and collaboration

The toolkit covers guest lists, RSVPs, checklists, a budget calculator, itinerary and timeline tools, vendors and venues, seating charts, stationery, notes, files, and guest photos. Keeping these functions together can reduce coordination across separate services, while account-free collaboration makes it practical to involve family or friends for specific decisions.

Website builder

Customizable templates, drag-and-drop sections, RSVP forms, password protection, and widgets for event details, travel, accommodation, FAQs, and registries let couples shape a site around their event. Each couple receives a free custom URL and QR code through three domain formats, with the option to connect a custom domain. Cloudflare acts as a proxy when issuing the site's SSL certificate.

Guest communication and media

Guest messaging is supported, and RSVP data remains connected to the guest list rather than becoming an isolated website submission. The Basic plan includes storage for 30 post-wedding photos; Premium raises guest-photo storage to 1,000 photos. Multiple events are supported, which suits celebrations with more than one associated occasion.

Pricing

Basic — free. The free plan includes the guest list, RSVPs, wedding website, checklist, budget, event itinerary, vendors and venues, notes, files, 30 post-wedding photos, custom vendors, and multi-language support. It is the sensible starting point for couples who need the core workflow and can live with the photo allowance and retention policy.

Business profile — $19 a month. Billed monthly, this adds Business profile membership and a 30-day free trial. It is aimed at businesses building a professional presence rather than couples seeking extra project capacity.

Premium — $29, paid once. Billed per project, it adds unlimited PDF and Excel export, high-resolution seating charts and supplies, five AI credits, advanced wedding-website features, and storage for up to 1,000 guest photos. This is the clearest upgrade for a couple that needs deliverable exports, richer site controls, or substantially more photo storage.

White-Label Integration — $120 a month. Billed monthly, it provides a custom subdomain and branding, with Premium features included in every project, plus a 14-day free trial. It is directed at organizations integrating the service under their own identity, not ordinary wedding projects.

Platforms

Planning.Wedding runs on the web, Android phones and tablets, and iPhone and iPad. Projects are shared across devices, so collaborators can move between browser and mobile use while retaining synchronized updates.

Who it's for

Choose it if you are a couple coordinating with family, friends, or a planner and want one place for website publishing, RSVPs, budgets, schedules, vendors, and seating. Its account-free collaboration is especially useful for occasional contributors. Planners and venues can consider the Business profile or White-Label Integration plans, while couples who need long-term records or extensive photo retention should budget for exports and separate storage.

Pros and cons

Pros: RSVP forms connect directly to guest records, keeping attendance and reminders aligned.

Pros: Helpers can collaborate in real time without opening accounts.

Pros: The free Basic plan includes a broad planning set, a website, custom URL and QR code, files, and multi-language support.

Pros: Android, iOS, and web access support shared projects across devices.

Cons: Active projects disappear after one year without an update, and archived projects after five years.

Cons: Basic limits post-wedding photos to 30, so larger galleries require Premium or another storage plan.

Cons: White-label pricing is designed for organizations and is excessive for a single couple.

Alternatives

For a directory of comparable website-focused services, see Wedding Website Builders.

Pick AreOne instead if a seven-day free period, a 30-guest cap, and invitation-first website setup match a smaller event. Aisle is a better fit for web-only planning with a free setup tier and guest-group organization. Choose VowConnection for a free-forever couples plan with 10 AI messages. WeddingDonkey suits users prioritizing media storage and maps, with paid monthly tiers after its free period. Appy Pie Wedding Website Builder is appropriate for a basic site capped at 50 RSVPs with an Appy Pie subdomain and branding. OSWP is the alternative for self-hosting and unlimited guests, provided you accept responsibility for hosting and backups. Vowesta offers an all-inclusive free plan across Android, iOS, and web. Wedence is another free mobile-and-web option with animated invitations and unlimited guest lists.

Verdict

Planning.Wedding is a good choice for couples and collaborative planning groups that want website, RSVP, and logistics tools joined in one workspace, especially on the capable Basic plan. Look elsewhere if preserving a project for the long term is essential, or if your main requirement is a permanently hosted archive rather than an active planning hub.
