European Wedding Planning Tools

#1 Bridebook

London, United Kingdom Described as completely free for couples on the about page; how Bridebook earns is not shown on the pages we read Demo on request

Best for: UK and Irish couples who want one free account for planning and supplier search

• Operating company. Bridebook Limited
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read; the privacy notice mentions analytics providers such as Google with servers outside the EU
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. The Knot

Bridebook is the planning platform of Bridebook Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 09190872 with an office in London. The about page says a couple can book a venue, build a supplier team, track a budget and manage the guest list in one place, and calls this completely free. A wedding website and advice articles sit in the same account.

The home page asks for a country first, and the list includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain and the Netherlands, so venue search reaches beyond Britain. Two points need a question to the company: the pages we read do not say where planner data is stored or how Bridebook earns, and the privacy notice names analytics and advertising partners outside the EU. English law applies to the contract.

Standout feature. Bridebook is the only tool here that gives checklist, budget, guest list and venue search to couples without a stated price.

#2 GettingMarried

Bath, United Kingdom Free up to 75 guests; GM Essentials GBP 45 up to 120 guests; GM Plus GBP 89 for unlimited guests (pricing page headed 'Pricing 2024') Demo on request

• Replaces. The Knot, Zola

GettingMarried is the wedding website service of The Gather Group Limited in Bath, registered in England and Wales under number 06997585. It builds a site, a guest list and an RSVP form, and the navigation adds designs, a cash gift list and advice. English courts have exclusive jurisdiction under its terms.

The free plan stops at 75 guests. GM Essentials at GBP 45 covers 120 guests and adds the cash gift list, premium themes and a QR code, while GM Plus at GBP 89 removes the guest limit and adds a table planner, menu manager and email stationery. The pricing page carries the heading 2024. A payment partner sits behind the gift list, and its terms were not read.

Standout feature. GettingMarried is the only tool here that includes a menu manager and table planner in its top website plan.

#3 Un Grand Jour

RSVP can be asked per event and can request an address. Terms are in French, no checklist or budget tool appears on the pages we read, and the separate pricing page was not read.

#4 LumiWed

Best for: Couples with guests in several languages who want a personal RSVP link per guest

• Operating company. LumiWed (KVK registered name)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read; privacy policy names Clerk for sign-in and Stripe for payments
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. The Knot, Zola, Joy

LumiWed publishes its imprint with the registered name LumiWed, an address in Geleen, a KVK number and a Dutch VAT number, and the terms apply Dutch law. The product is a wedding website and RSVP dashboard. Each guest gets a personal link by WhatsApp, email or QR code and replies without an account, in any of 24 site languages.

The dashboard records attendance, dietary preferences, plus-ones and family groups on one link, and a gift list lets guests reserve items or scan a QR code for euro transfers. The service is young: the imprint was updated in late October 2026, the home page counts 450+ couples, and the pricing page shows a waitlist and no price. Clerk handles sign-in and Stripe handles payments.

Standout feature. LumiWed is the only tool here that lets a guest reply in their own language from a personal link without any account.

Plan limits include 6 or 30 active weddings and two to five user accounts, but our extract did not map each limit to a plan reliably. The owner is an individual, and the page source references Supabase for sign-in.

Standout feature. Wedinest is the only tool here that is built around a planner working with a client rather than a couple working alone.
