What it is
Zola Wedding Planner combines tools for venues, vendors, wedding websites, registries, invitations, guest lists, and budgets. Its marketplace helps couples discover, contact, and book vendors, with recommendations personalized to the wedding. Guest management tracks RSVPs, meal selections, and plus ones, and accepts spreadsheet imports. A seating chart supports drag-and-drop assignments plus customizable table names and seat counts. Registry features include gifts, experiences, zero-fee cash funds, group gifting, and virtual exchanges for credit before shipping. The iOS app manages a website, checklist, invitations, registry, gift notifications, and Gift Tracker; Zola says the free wedding app is currently iOS-only, while planning tools are listed for web and iOS. Couples can password-protect their wedding website, but registries cannot currently be password-protected. Zola says uploaded planning-tool information is not encrypted or otherwise secured. Its free plan is free for personal, non-commercial use with a registered account. Paid offerings are listed from 17.99 USD. Team-Z advisors provide chat or email support.
