Lumière vs Zennvue

Lumière is a web-based wedding planning service for couples and wedding professionals, combining planning tools, a vendor directory and planning guides. Couples can organize a date-based timeline, budget, guests and RSVPs, vendors, seating plans and a day-of schedule. Timeline calculations cover beauty preparation, first-look and portrait timing, sunset, and travel between locations. A day-of timeline can be shared through a revocable link, with access limited to a vendor category. Jane, Lumière’s AI assistant, can suggest plan edits for approval before saving them. Professional options include planner plans for different wedding volumes, a venue-branded timeline builder and vendor calendar support and connectors. The Free plan costs nothing and allows up to 20 tasks, 5 vendors, 50 guests and 5 AI planner messages a month, with a limited budget tracker. Day-Of costs $15 a month; Premium costs $129 a year. Paid plans have a 7-day trial. Lumière says it uses access controls and encryption in transit where supported; Paddle handles checkout.

Zennvue is a web-based service connecting wedding and event vendors’ business workflows with couples’ planning. Vendors can manage marketplace profiles, leads, proposals, e-signed contracts, invoices, payments, bookings, calendars, and galleries. Couples get planning tools for vendor discovery, budgets, timelines, guest lists, RSVPs, seating, and payment tracking. Its AI supports vendor matching, drafting, contract review, lead scoring, and planning assistance; users approve actions and messages. Stripe Connect handles deposits, balances, vendor payouts, and payment records, with standard Stripe processing passed through. Paid vendor plans have a 0% Zennvue fee on vendor payments; Marketplace Free takes 15% only on bookings Zennvue produces. The free couples plan includes a 30-day trial? No: paid vendor plans include a 30-day trial, require a card at signup, and convert to the chosen plan unless canceled before the signup deadline. Vendor plans start at $49/mo. Vendor profiles are reviewed before going live, and reviews are limited to couples with confirmed bookings. Zennvue says it is not an escrow service or insurer.
