WVE Wedding Planning

WVE is a wedding budget and vendor tracker for couples who like their planning like they like their spreadsheets — precise, calm, and without the glitter.

Built by the Wedding Video Essex team after one too many "how much did we actually pay the venue?" arguments, WVE puts your entire wedding admin in one place. No fluff. No cake-pop emojis. Just the numbers, dates, and to-dos that keep a real wedding on track.

WHAT'S INSIDE

BUDGET DASHBOARD
See total budget, spent, paid, and remaining at a glance — in £ (or your local currency). Break it down by category (venue, catering, photography, flowers, DJ, attire, rings…) and know instantly which line item is eating you alive.

VENDOR TRACKER
One card per vendor. Quote, deposit paid, balance due, contact details, contract notes. Colour-coded status: researching, enquired, booked, paid in full. Tap a category on the dashboard to drill into just those vendors.

PAYMENT TIMELINE
Every upcoming balance in one chronological list — with due-date reminders, calendar export (.ics — drop it into Google, Apple, or Outlook), and a "days until" countdown so nothing sneaks up on you.

CHECKLIST
Timeline-bucketed tasks (12 months, 9 months, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, 2 weeks, 1 week, day-of, after) with sensible defaults you can edit or bin. Link tasks to specific vendors.

COST SPLIT
See who paid what — you, your partner, or split. Because "we'll sort it later" is how weddings end in resentment. Filter by category to settle up cleanly.

QUICK-CAPTURE EXPENSE FLOW
Snap a receipt, tag the vendor, done. Amount, category, who paid, one tap.

PARTNER SYNC
Share a six-character couple code with your partner and they see the same wedding on their phone — live. No account, no email, no password. Just a code you can text.

GIRL MATHS TOGGLE
For when the numbers get too depressing. Enable "Girl Maths mode" on the dashboard and the app will (playfully) subtract engagement-shoot expenses, honeymoon savings, and "things you'd have bought anyway" from your spent total. Non-canonical maths, canonical vibes.

DARK MODE
Because 2am budget spirals deserve a dark background.

WHY WVE

We're not a marketplace. We don't sell your data to venues. We don't push you into a Pinterest-flavoured mood board you didn't ask for. WVE is one team's answer to the question: "what if wedding planning software felt like Notion, not like a bridal magazine?"

PREMIUM

The core budget + vendor + checklist tools are free forever. Premium unlocks partner sync across unlimited devices, calendar export, cost-splitting between partners, receipt attachments, and dark mode.

FROM THE WEDDING VIDEO ESSEX TEAM

WVE is built by the same team behind Wedding Video Essex — the wedding videographers who've been quietly filming the "how much did the flowers cost?" arguments at rehearsal dinners for years. This is the app we wished existed when we were planning ours.

Congratulations on the engagement. Let's get you organised.
