What's Included
RSVP & Guest Management
A custom RSVP form that collects everything you need: guest names, plus-ones, meal choices, dietary restrictions, and song requests. No spreadsheet wrangling required.
Event Details & Maps
Ceremony and reception details with embedded maps, parking info, and day-of timeline. Your guests will know exactly where to go and when.
Password Protection
Keep your wedding details private with a shared password gate. Only people you invite can see the site. Simple for guests, secure for you.
Mobile-First Design
Your guests will pull up your site on their phones. It needs to look great and load fast on every device, not just a laptop. That's how I build it.
Why Custom Beats Free
It actually looks like you
Zola and The Knot give every couple the same handful of templates. A custom site matches your style, your colors, your vibe. It feels personal because it is.
No platform branding
Free wedding sites plaster "Powered by Zola" or "Made with The Knot" at the bottom. Your wedding site should be about you, not advertising someone else's product.
Your own domain
sarahandmike.com looks a lot better on an invitation than zola.com/wedding/sarah-and-mike-2026. A custom domain is clean, memorable, and yours.
Fast and reliable
Free platforms load slowly because they're bloated with tracking scripts and third-party code. Your custom site loads in under a second because there's nothing weighing it down.
What Your Site Can Include
Home
Your names, wedding date, a hero photo, and a countdown. The first thing guests see when they visit.
Our Story
A timeline of how you met, key moments, and the proposal. As much or as little as you want to share.
Event Details
Ceremony and reception info: venues, times, addresses, maps, and parking. Everything guests need to show up on time.
RSVP
A form where guests confirm attendance, select meals, note dietary restrictions, and add a plus-one. Responses go straight to you.
Travel & Accommodations
Hotel block info, airport details, and getting-around tips for out-of-town guests.
Registry
Links to your registries. Clean and simple, no commission skimming from a platform middleman.
Photo Gallery
Engagement photos or favorite memories together. A lightweight gallery that loads fast on any connection.
FAQ
Dress code, kids policy, plus-one rules, gift info. Answer the questions before they get asked.
How It Works
Tell me about your wedding
We talk through the details: your date, venue, colors, vibe, and what pages you want. I'll ask the right questions so the site reflects your wedding, not a generic template.
I design and build it
I create the site and check in with you along the way. You'll see progress as it comes together, not a surprise at the end. Revisions are part of the process.
Launch and share
Your site goes live on your custom domain. I set up the password, test the RSVP form, and make sure everything works on every device. You put the URL on your invitations and you're done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom wedding website cost?
Most wedding sites I build run between $800 and $2,000. A simple informational site with RSVP lands on the lower end. If you want custom animations, a photo gallery with upload features, or a guest management dashboard, it costs more. I give you a clear price upfront.
How long does it take to build?
Usually 1 to 2 weeks. Wedding sites are focused and straightforward, so they come together quickly. I recommend starting at least 3 months before you send invitations so you have time to finalize details and test the RSVP form.
Can guests RSVP through the site?
Yes. I build a custom RSVP form that collects whatever you need: names, attendance, meal preferences, dietary restrictions, song requests. Responses are emailed to you or saved to a spreadsheet you can access anytime.
Is the site password protected?
Yes. I set up a shared password so only your invited guests can access the site. You share the password on your invitations or in a text to your guest list. Simple and effective.
Why not just use Zola or The Knot? They're free.
They work fine if you don't mind the limitations: platform branding on your site, cookie-cutter templates, slow load times, and no custom domain unless you pay extra. Those platforms make money by selling your data to wedding vendors and taking commissions on registry purchases. A custom site is yours, looks unique, and loads in under a second.
Do I get my own domain name?
Yes. I'll help you pick and set up a custom domain like sarahandmike.com. It looks clean on invitations and is easy for guests to remember. Domain registration is usually around $12 per year.
What happens to the site after the wedding?
It's yours. You can keep it up as a memory, add photos from the day, or take it down whenever you want. There are no recurring platform fees. The only cost is the domain renewal if you want to keep the URL active.
Can you add features after we launch?
Absolutely. Want to add a photo gallery after the wedding, or a guestbook page? I can add features anytime. The site is custom code, so there are no platform limitations on what we can build.
