A wedding coordinator costs $800 to $3,500 and averages about $1,800 — and the guest logistics are the bulk of that job. VowSnaps gives you the same system for $79.99 once. Run it yourself, or hand the login to your planner and pay them for less.

Hand it straight to your planner.
VowSnaps is what a good coordinator would set up for you anyway. Buy it once, share the login, and your planner runs invitations, replies, seating, and the venue screen from the same dashboard — so you are paying them for the day itself, not for building the tech.

Common questions.
Does this replace a wedding planner?
It replaces the guest-logistics half of the job — invitations, replies, meals, seating, photo sharing, and the venue screen. A planner still handles vendors, design, and running the day. Many couples use VowSnaps to skip a coordinator entirely; others buy it and hand it to the planner they already hired.
Can my planner or coordinator use it?
Yes. Share your login and they can manage everything for you. There are no extra seats to buy and no per-guest fees.
Is $79.99 the total price?
Yes. VowSnaps Complete is a one-time purchase. There are no monthly fees or paid feature add-ons.
Why is the limit 2,000 uploads?
Most weddings land well below it, including photos and short videos. The limit keeps pricing honest and protects the service from unusually large storage abuse.
Can I purchase now and activate later?
Yes. Your 12-month upload window starts on your event date, not the day you pay.
Do guests pay or sign up?
Never. Guests scan your code and contribute from their phone without an app or account.
