Zola Wedding Planner
What it is
Zola Wedding Planner brings together tools for venues, vendors, wedding websites, registries, invitations, guest lists, and budgets. Its marketplace lets couples discover, contact, and book vendors, with recommendations personalized to their wedding. Guest tools track RSVPs, meal selections, and plus ones, support spreadsheet imports, and include seating charts with drag-and-drop assignments and customizable table names and seat counts. Registry options include gifts, experiences, zero-fee cash funds, group gifting, and virtual exchanges for credit before gifts ship. Zola’s iOS app supports management of a wedding website, guest list, checklist, invitations, registry, gift notifications, and Gift Tracker. The free wedding app is currently available only on iOS, while planning tools are also listed for web. Couples can password-protect a wedding website, but not a registry. Zola says information uploaded to its planning tools is not encrypted or otherwise secured. The free plan is free for personal, non-commercial use with a registered account.
