Wedding Computer for couples

Wedding Computer isn’t a wedding planning app you download and fill in from scratch. It’s a workspace that your vendors — your photographer, celebrant, planner, venue, florist — set up and share with you. When you receive an invitation, you join a space that already has your vendor team, your timeline, and your wedding details in it.

The honest value proposition: instead of chasing five different vendors for updates, having a different email thread per booking, and guessing whether the photographer knows what time the ceremony starts, everything is in one place — and everyone is looking at the same information.

Is Wedding Computer right for us?

Section titled “Is Wedding Computer right for us?”

It works for any wedding or elopement, any size, any location. A two-person elopement in a park and a 200-guest garden wedding use the same workspace features. The question isn’t size — it’s whether your vendors are using Wedding Computer to coordinate your day.

If your planner or venue is on Wedding Computer, you’ll likely receive an invitation from them. If your vendors aren’t using it, you can still create your own workspace and use it yourself — or store vendor details manually.

Who needs to make an account?

Section titled “Who needs to make an account?”

Couples get a free account — no subscription, no credit card, ever. You sign in with a magic link sent to your email (no password to remember).

Both partners can have their own account. If you both want access to the workspace, your vendor invites both email addresses separately, and you each sign in independently. You both see the same workspace.

Only one of you needs an account if you’re happy for one person to manage things. The account holder can share updates or export the run sheet for the other person.

What if our vendors aren’t on Wedding Computer?

Section titled “What if our vendors aren’t on Wedding Computer?”

You can still use Wedding Computer yourself. Create your own workspace at wedding.computer, add your wedding details, and use it as a personal planning hub. You can:

  • Store vendor contact details and notes in the workspace
  • Build your own run sheet
  • Upload contracts, quotes, and documents they’ve sent you
  • Share the workspace with your partner

When vendors aren’t members of the workspace, you simply manage that information yourself rather than having them contribute it. The workspace still works — it’s just less collaborative.

Can our planner or venue set it up for us?

Section titled “Can our planner or venue set it up for us?”

Yes, and this is the most common path. A planner or venue creates the workspace, sets up the initial wedding details and run sheet, invites you and all your vendors, and manages the whole coordination layer. You receive an invitation email, join with a click, and the workspace is already populated.

Can we add vendors later?

Section titled “Can we add vendors later?”

Any time. Invite vendors by going to the workspace → Add people → Add vendor. You can invite by email. Vendors who join later can see everything shared in the workspace from the beginning.

Is it free?

Section titled “Is it free?”

Yes, completely. Your Wedding Computer account as a couple is free, permanently. No credit card required, no subscription, no trial. The vendors you work with may be on a paid plan, but that doesn’t affect your access in any way.

Does Wedding Computer make planning calmer?

Section titled “Does Wedding Computer make planning calmer?”

This is the question worth answering directly. Wedding Computer doesn’t remove the work of planning a wedding — it just puts it in one place instead of across a dozen email threads and spreadsheet tabs. Whether that feels calmer depends on how much your vendors engage with it.

At minimum, you get a shared timeline everyone is looking at and a single source of truth for who is doing what and when. At best — when your planner or venue is actively using it — you have a live run sheet on the day, a weather forecast for the ceremony, and a way to see whether the day is running on time from your phone.

It is a web app, accessed in a browser. If you already feel buried in apps, adding one more is a legitimate concern. The counterargument is that it replaces the chaos of multiple email threads, not a single app.
