Planning your wedding

Your wedding workspace brings the information used by you and your wedding team into one place. It is a collaboration workspace, not an automated wedding-planning course.

What can you manage in the workspace?

Depending on what has been added to your wedding, the couple view can include:

Timeline — the shared run sheet for the wedding day;
Your vendors and Budget — vendor decisions, expected prices, invoices, and paid totals;
Invoices and payments — payment schedules from connected vendors;
Weather — a live forecast as your date approaches, plus an AI long-range climate outlook before that forecast window opens;
Notes — shared notes and a couple-only area;
Links — galleries, accommodation, parking, playlists, menus, and other useful web links;
Files and signing — uploaded documents and documents awaiting your signature;
Forms — requests sent by your vendors and your completed responses;
Guests — an optional RSVP and seating app when it has been enabled;
Activity and vendor credits — recent collaboration, and a one-click, privacy-aware vendor credit list.

Sections only appear when they are relevant or have content.

Edit the wedding details

From Edit wedding details, a couple can maintain:

the wedding name;
the wedding date, or leave it unset while it is to be confirmed;
an optional end date, for multi-day and date-range weddings — a destination wedding, a multi-day celebration, or an elopement that spans more than one day;
the wedding or ceremony type;
dress code and guest count;
one general wedding location;
general timeline notes;
the couple members’ names and phone numbers.

Leaving the end date blank keeps the wedding as a single day. Set one and the wedding becomes a date range instead — other date-aware parts of the workspace, such as the weather card and the countdown, then read the whole span rather than a single date.

The account email address is not changed from this form. If a planner or venue manages the timeline, changes to the date or timeline notes may be sent to them for approval; other profile details save immediately.

Times and locations live in timeline items

There are no separate wedding-level fields for ceremony, reception, getting-ready, or portrait times and locations. Those logistics live in the Timeline, which is the single schedule shared with the wedding team.

Create a timeline item for each real part of the day—for example, “Hair and makeup,” “Ceremony,” “Family portraits,” or “Reception doors open.” Each item can hold its own:

start and end time or duration;
exact location;
assigned person, team member, or vendor;
category;
visibility;
description and relative timing.

The general wedding location remains useful as an overall place or region. Put venue-specific rooms, addresses, meeting points, and movement between locations on the relevant timeline items so nobody has to reconcile two schedules. For a multi-day wedding, timeline items still carry their own time, so items on different days of the range don’t need to be reconciled against a single wedding-level date either.

Track vendor decisions and the budget view

The vendor list supports Considering, Contacted, and Booked states. You can search for a business already on Wedding Computer or invite one by email, then keep an expected price and couple-private notes on its record.

The Budget card separates the total you Expected, the amount connected vendors have Invoiced, and payments recorded as Paid. These figures are a planning summary, not accounting advice and not a replacement for the vendor’s contract.

See Your vendors for the complete workflow.

Weather

Once your wedding has a date and a general location, a Weather card can appear on the workspace:

Live forecast — as the date gets closer, the card shows the real forecast for that date and location, refreshing automatically as conditions update.
Long-range outlook — before the live-forecast window opens, an AI-generated climate outlook gives a seasonal sense of likely conditions for the wedding’s month and location. Treat it as a general planning guide, not a precise forecast.

This card is separate from the sunrise, sunset, and golden-hour times used to anchor timeline items — see The timeline & wedding day for how those work.

Vendor credits

Once your vendor team is in place, the workspace can generate a vendor credit list — a ready-made way to thank and tag everyone who worked on your wedding.

Choose a format: Instagram (@handle mentions, ready to paste into a caption), Markdown (for a blog post), or HTML (to embed on a website).
The list is built from your vendor team, with each vendor’s role and handle included where they’ve added one to their profile.
One click copies the formatted list, so you’re not retyping names and handles by hand.

This is separate from the vendor visibility setting that controls whether your vendors can see each other — the credit list has its own choice about whether your vendor list is shown publicly. See Privacy & permissions for both settings.

Notes, links, and files

Use the couple-only note for information that should stay between the couple. Shared notes are for information the wider wedding team needs.

The Links board is useful for web resources. Files can be uploaded directly, and the uploader chooses whether a file is visible to the whole wedding or only selected people. See Documents & files before uploading sensitive material.

Optional guest planning

Guest management is an app that a couple or manager enables for a wedding. When enabled, it provides guest groups, RSVP collection, invitation customization, and seating tools. It is not shown as an active planning section until it has been enabled.

See Guests & family for what it collects and who can access it.

Is there a couple checklist or automated planning schedule?

Not currently. The couple workspace does not show a shared checklist or a built-in “12 months before / 9 months before” planning programme. Vendor accounts may use their own operational checklist templates, but those are not a couple planning checklist.

Use the timeline for wedding-day logistics and your preferred planning system for longer-term tasks. You can keep useful planning URLs on the Links board and put team-facing decisions in the appropriate notes.

Can you use it on a phone?

Yes. Wedding Computer is a web app that works in a mobile browser. No installation is required. The workspace, timeline, vendor records, guest app, invoices, notes, and files are available from the browser; saving a run-sheet PDF before the wedding is sensible when the venue may have poor reception.
