About Wedding Overview

What is Wedding Overview?
A calm web app for planning one wedding. Guests, RSVP, tasks, budget, vendors, your wedding website, the day-of timeline, and seating live in one place instead of in nine spreadsheets and a group chat.
Who is it for?
Couples who plan their own wedding and want to keep the overview, with or without help from family or a day-of coordinator. If you have hired a full-service planner who runs everything, you probably do not need us.
Is it just a wedding website?
No. Your wedding website is one part of it. The app also carries your guest list, RSVP, tasks, budget, vendors, documents, seating, and the day-of timeline, and those parts know about each other.
What does the app cover?
Your guests with RSVP, messages, and the seating chart; the money with budget, vendors, and payments; the day itself with the day-of timeline and the ceremony; your wedding website; your stationery; planning together with the people who help you; and your settings. Each part has its own tabs, and a change in one shows up in the others.
Can we start small?
Yes. A date, your partner, and your first few guests is enough to begin. Everything else can be added the week you need it.

Guests and RSVP

How does RSVP work?
Guests answer through their own personal link or through your wedding website. No account and no password. Answers come back to the right group and the right person in your guest list.
Can guests answer per event?
Yes. Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception can each be their own event, so a guest who is only invited to part of the day answers only for that part.
Can we collect dietary needs and allergies?
Yes, and they are treated as what they are: health information. Guests fill them in themselves, with consent they can withdraw, and you decide who on your team can see them.
Can we add our own RSVP questions?
Yes. Short text, long text, a single choice, multiple choices, yes or no, and numbers are all supported, and there is a ready-made set to start from.
Can we send our caterer a list?
Yes. The export carries exactly what a caterer needs and nothing more: guests without recorded consent stay out, and free-text notes and pregnancy never go along. Confirming that consent is a deliberate step, not a checkbox you scroll past.
Do we have to retype our guest list?
No. Paste your existing list from Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets in one go. The columns are recognized, you see a preview before anything is saved, households become one group, and one button undoes the whole import.

Planning, budget, and vendors

How does the planning work?
You work with tasks, deadlines, owners, and categories, counted back from your wedding date. Your day-of view shows what needs attention now, so neither of you has to keep the whole list in your head.
Where does the checklist come from?
It is an American set, written for American weddings and counted back from your date: a reminder to look up the marriage license timing for your county, a ceremony officiant, save-the-dates months before the invitations, a rehearsal dinner, room blocks, and the signed license going back to the county clerk afterward.
Can we track budget and payments?
Yes. Estimates, quotes, final amounts, deposits, due dates, and what is still open, per line and per vendor.
Does the budget move with our guest count?
For the lines where that makes sense. Put in a price per guest, for a plate or the bar, and the total follows who is actually attending according to the RSVP answers. There is a button to see what ten guests more or fewer would do.
Can vendors be linked to tasks and documents?
Yes. A vendor can carry tasks, budget lines, moments in your day-of timeline, and documents such as quotes and contracts.
What does the day-of timeline do?
It holds the day minute by minute: times, locations, who is responsible, the photographer and DJ notes, a plan B, the guest flow, the last week, and the handover to your day-of coordinator. Everyone who needs their own version gets a printable PDF for their role, from the same source. All of it is in the one price.

Your wedding website and privacy

Will our wedding website show up in search results?
Not if you do not want it to. Guest pages ask crawlers to stay away, and you choose between open with the link, behind an access code, or reachable only through a personal RSVP link.
Can we choose a style?
Wedding Overview comes in one considered house style, with warm terracotta, sage green, and soft gold. It runs from the app through your wedding website and your stationery without any setting up. Your photos, your names, and your words are what make it yours.
Can we build it before anyone sees it?
Yes. Your site can be in draft, in preview, published, or paused, so you can build quietly, look at it as a guest, and only share it when it is right.
Who can see our data?
Your wedding is not public. Guests only see what you published, and with a personal RSVP link they only see their own group. Inside your own team you set per part of the app who may see or do what.
Where is our data stored?
In a data center in the European Union. That also means European privacy law applies to your guests, which is a stricter floor than most planning tools give you. Email and hosting run through partners in the United States; they are named in our privacy policy, and the data processing agreement lists them.

Account, planning together, and price

Can we plan together with our partner?
Yes. Invite your partner with their own account and you work on the same wedding. Nobody has to read anything over anybody else’s shoulder.
Can family or a day-of coordinator help?
Yes. Invite them with their own account and choose their role: partner, assistant, or viewer. On top of that you set per part of the app what they may see or do, so the person running your day sees the timeline and not your budget.
What does Wedding Overview cost?
One price: $99, once, for your entire engagement. No subscription, no per-guest fees, no add-on for RSVP or the website. Want to look around first? Create a free account or open the demo.
Do you charge in dollars?
No. The price for this market is $99, in US dollars. Checkout is not open in this market yet, in any currency. The amount is set for this market and is not a conversion of a European one, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out at the payment screen.
What exactly does the payment open?
The whole app for your own wedding: tasks, guest list and RSVP, budget, vendors, the day-of timeline, seating, and the wedding website. Without a payment you are limited to looking around the demo wedding, exporting your data, and deleting your account.
What if it turns out not to be for us?
You get your money back within 30 days of purchase. One email is enough: no questionnaire and no fine print.
How long do you keep our data?
Wedding and guest data are removed twelve months after your wedding date. You get notice well in advance and can export everything before it goes. Payment and invoice records are kept longer, because tax law requires that of us.
How do we reach you?
Through the contact page, or by email at hallo@weddingoverview.com. Someone who actually builds the app answers, and we are happy to think along about your planning.
And now, you

Start at the start: put the date in.

Today the date and your names. Next week the first guests. The rest grows along by itself. That is the idea.
