the wedding timeline, for venues and the teamThe plan for the wedding,
a week ahead.
For venues and the wedding team: your couples send you one read-only link with the timeline of the wedding days you work — and, on a venue’s link, how many people have said yes to each day, updated as the answers come in.

what you get
ExampleThe day, and the numbers that go with it.
One link, no account. It opens in your browser and shows the current version — including the change the couple made at eight in the evening.
- The plan for the day
- Time blocks with a start and an end, the location with its maps link, who is responsible, a plan B, and the travel time to the next stop.
- The headcount per day
- How many people have accepted for that day. That is the number a kitchen buys against and the number you put chairs out for.
- Who else is working on it
- The names and numbers of the rest of the wedding team travel with the link. Whoever arrives at half past seven, you can ring yourself.
- What is not on it
- No money, no guest list. No guest names, no answers per guest, no phone numbers of the family.
The venue’s read-only link
Example wedding · Amira & YoussefA real screen: the venue’s read-only link of example wedding Amira & Youssef, as it opens today. The couple revokes it whenever they want, without asking us.

A week ahead,
the kitchen knows.
The number of guests per day and who is on the team, on one read-only link the venue opens itself.
what it costs you
Nothing.
And there is nothing to install.
You never pay us anything, in any form. We make our money from the couple — not from you, and not from their data.
- No account. The link opens in your browser, including the phone in your pocket.
- Nothing to install, no app, no sign-in for your staff.
- No subscription, no booking fee, no invoice — not now and not later.
- Keeping your own entry in our directory up to date is free too, and stays free.
what we do not do
Four things we will never do.
We sell no lead lists.
We take no commission.
We charge nothing for placement.
We do not contact your couples unless you introduce us.
This is set in the largest type on the page, deliberately. In this market couples get sold on to the businesses they hire, and anyone reading this has an inbox full of it. An unknown brand knocking cold only gets read if it first says what it will never do. So, plainly: this is not an introductory arrangement that changes later. There will be no paid placement, no featured profile, no exclusivity.
And if you are already in our directory
That is not because you signed up. The directory is built from what each business publishes on its own site and, for part of our listings, Overture Maps, an open map dataset. You paid nothing and nobody asked you — so getting out should be as easy as being in. One line to hello@theweddingdiary.app, at the foot of this page, and the entry is gone; we act within 72 hours. If you would rather correct it, claiming it is free.

The couple gives it to you.
We do not.
1
They put you in their wedding team
Name, role, number, and what was agreed for each day. They do that, in their own diary.
2
They send you one link
On WhatsApp or by mail, from their own phone. Nothing goes from us to you.
3
You open it, and keep it
With the rest of your paperwork. It keeps showing the current version until the day is over.
4
They revoke it whenever they want
Without asking us and without explaining. It is their wedding, not our product.
Apart from one mail about your entry in our directory, we never write to you unasked and never send you advertising. One reply to that mail is enough: we never mail you again, or, if you ask us to take your entry down, we act within 72 hours. If you claim your entry, we write to you about that claim, and we pass on any question a couple sends through it unless you switch that off in your account.
tell us what would actually help
Four questions, and fifteen minutes.
This was built without anyone who works in a hall checking it. That is the exact problem we are trying to solve here, and you are the only person who can.
1What gets sent to you for a wedding now, and in what form?
2What goes wrong in the week before, every single time?
3Which number do you want to be sure of on Thursday?
4What would you never use, however well it was made?
Fifteen minutes, no pitch. No presentation either — we show you the screen you would be given, and otherwise we listen. A call works, so does a Tuesday afternoon in your hall.
There is no form here. A form that posts nowhere is a button that does nothing, and we put none of those on this site — not for the price either. There will be one as soon as there is an inbox behind it.
Write to the address below and put “venue” in the message, and we will ring you back. No newsletter, no automatic reply: the answer comes from a person.
Whoever left this page with you writes their name and number here:
contact
Talk to us about your venue or your couples.
One e-mail is enough. We answer ourselves, usually within four hours — and the example wedding’s read-only link is open, no account needed.
