Finding wedding vendors is hard. In 2007, a couple started Project Wedding to tackle this problem and eventually grew it into a full-featured wedding planning site. Now part of the WeddingWire Network, Project Wedding strives to make wedding planning easier, less stressful, and more fun! Over 1 million brides come to Project Wedding monthly to interact with our supportive community and to read our curated editorial content. We know that today's weddings are all about showing off personal style with creative elements, gorgeous color palettes, and unique details. We also know that the contemporary bride is incredibly busy and wants to take care of all of her wedding planning needs in one spot. Enter Project Wedding!
Project Wedding has rebranded to WeddingWire. The site aggregates wedding planning resources, vendors, inspiration, and tools, enabling couples to plan, book vendors, and manage aspects of their wedding in one place.
The product provides planning tools (checklists, guest lists, seating charts, budgets), a marketplace to find and book vendors, wedding websites, registries, and idea/inspiration content. It also includes features like a date finder, cost guide, color and hashtag generators, and a mobile app for planning on the go. Users can browse venues, read reviews, and connect with over 200,000 wedding vendors; the platform supports vendor management and communication within the WeddingWire ecosystem.
Who it’s for: Couples planning weddings who are seeking inspiration, vendor discovery, planning tools, and a centralized wedding planning experience.
