Occasions: Wedding Planner

The person you are marrying opens the same wedding, not a copy, and pays nothing extra for it. One of you ticks a task off and it is ticked for both.

Everything you are planning, in one place: who is coming, where they are sitting, what it costs, who you are paying, and what happens when. On your iPhone and iPad, from the engagement to the thank-you cards.

THE OVERVIEW Open the app and the day is there. How long you have, how many have replied, what the budget is doing, which suppliers are still owed. Every number comes from your plan, and anything overdue rises to the top on its own.

THE GUEST LIST Invite people to the whole day or just the evening, track who has replied, and keep plus-ones attached to the person who brought them. Headcounts update themselves as replies come in, so the number you give the caterer is the number you actually have. Dietary and access needs sit on the guest, not in a note somewhere else.

SEATING Lay the room out with the tables you actually have: round, long, a top table, a cake table, a dance floor. Drag guests into seats while the app counts who is still standing, and it flags a seat held by somebody who has since declined. Print it or send a PDF when the venue asks.

MONEY Set what you expect to spend by category, and the app fills in what you have committed from the suppliers you have booked. Categories cannot out-promise the budget, and going over is reported rather than rewritten.

THE RUNNING ORDER Hair at eight, photographer at ten, cars at half past one. Build the order for the day itself, and separate ones for the rehearsal and the morning after. The gaps show between the entries, because the free forty-five minutes matters as much as the things either side of it.

SUPPLIERS The venue, the florist, the photographer, the band. Contacts, quotes, what is agreed and what is still owed. Each supplier is filed under a budget category, so booking one updates the budget without you telling it twice. Deposits carry dates, so money due next month is visible this month.

TO-DOS A new plan arrives with a wedding checklist already in it: the things everybody has to do, roughly when they are usually done. Take what you want, ignore the rest, and share the tasks out.

SCRAPBOOK A wall you pin things to: photographs, a link to the venue you liked, a voice note from the florist. Keep several boards, one per thing still undecided.

ON THE HOME SCREEN Three widgets in every size, plus Lock Screen countdowns and Control Centre buttons. Tick a task off from the Home Screen and it is done in the app. On the day itself a Live Activity holds the running order on the Lock Screen, with a button to move things on when something runs late.

NO ASSUMPTIONS A new plan asks for partner one and partner two. If that is not what you call yourselves, set it to bride and groom, bride and bride, or groom and groom, and the app uses your words.

ALSO IN THERE Catering by course. Colour palettes lifted from a photograph. Thank-you tracking. Spreadsheet import and PDF export. Fifteen accent themes and six app icons. A finished wedding is archived in full rather than deleted.

SYNC AND SHARING With a subscription your wedding syncs through your own iCloud, so every device shows the same guest list and balance owing. Then share it with the person you are marrying. They open it on their own Apple Account and are in the same wedding, not a copy: they tick a task off and it is ticked for you. They do not need a subscription of their own.

PRIVACY It all goes through Apple. No account to create with us, and no copy of your guest list on a server we control.

WHAT IT COSTS Free to use for one wedding, with up to twenty-five items in each list. A subscription lifts the limits and adds sync and sharing, and covers Occasion Plans: Events too.

Personal covers one wedding, Planner up to ten, and Unlimited as many as you need. Each is sold monthly or yearly and starts with one month free. Personal Forever is a single payment for one wedding and does not renew.
