See it in action
This is what a Zarla wedding planner website looks like.
The inquiry comes fourteen months out. A first call, a venue walk in the rain, nine months of vendor meetings, then the month-of handover and a Saturday where the couple never sees the timeline. The site handles the first step: the real weddings, the packages, the venues you know, and a form that asks the right four things.
- Professional design — not a generic template
- Looks great on desktop and mobile
- Content written for your industry
What actually matters
Most wedding planner websites don't get clientele. Couples pick the planner whose real weddings look like theirs.
A couple who just got engaged at Thanksgiving, a bride whose mother wants someone to run the day, a pair planning from another state. Each scrolls your real weddings first, reads what full planning and day-of coordination actually include, checks the venues you've worked, and then asks about a date.
It writes your packages the way you'd walk a couple through them on the first call.
Full planning, partial planning and month-of coordination each get a page: what's included, when you step in, how many meetings, what the day looks like with you in the room. Your real weddings sit in a gallery, and each venue page tells the story of the weddings there. In the US no state licenses wedding planners; venues ask for a certificate of liability insurance, and whether your planning fee is taxed depends on the state. Most states don't tax services, while Hawaii, New Mexico, South Dakota and West Virginia tax nearly all of them. Check your state's rules with your accountant before you set your fee.
Drafted on the Sunday after a wedding.
Describe your studio in two sentences with your coffee, skim the draft as the vendor thank-yous go out, drop in last night's photos and publish before Monday's inquiries. Nothing to install.
"Average cost of a wedding" is asked of ChatGPT and its competitors 52,766 times a month, and "wedding planner near me" peaks at 14,800 in January, right after the holiday engagements.
US numbers, DataForSEO, September 2026: "wedding planner near me" and "wedding coordinator near me" average 12,100 each; "wedding planner cost" 8,100, with 14,800 in January, plus 2,741 AI questions; "day of coordinator" 1,900, 3,600 in January; "destination wedding planner" 4,400, rising in June, December and January; "micro wedding" 8,100 every month. Newly engaged couples search a planner, a budget and a place, so a page per package and per venue is how a one-planner studio gets found, and Get Found points out the Google listing's gaps.
The inquiry arrives with the date, the venue, the guest count and the budget. Nothing else about the wedding leaves your planning software.
A couple sends the inquiry form, which asks the four things you need before the first call, and it lands in the leads inbox with a reminder and an email alert. "Are you free October 18?" comes on WhatsApp. Your Instagram feed sits on the page, this season's weddings where couples already look. Holding the date, the deposit and the paperwork stay in HoneyBook or Aisle Planner, and the site can point the couple there once they've said yes.
Tell it the way you'd open the first call. Who you plan for, and how the months go.
Describe the studio
"I run Wren & Ivy Events: full planning, partial planning and month-of coordination for weddings of 60 to 200 in Napa and Sonoma, twelve weddings a year, vineyard and barn venues." Typed on the Sunday after a wedding.
Read it as a couple engaged last week
The draft opens with a page per package, a gallery of real weddings, the venues you've worked, how planning with you goes month by month, the inquiry form and your Google stars. Read the month-of page as a bride whose mother wants someone to run the day.
Publish, then add each wedding by typing
Publish, and the studio's site goes live on its own address. When Saturday's wedding is edited and delivered, type "Add the Carneros wedding" and it joins the gallery.
Everything a wedding planner website needs
Zarla builds wedding planner websites around what a couple checks before reaching out: real weddings you've planned, what your packages include, whether you're free on their date, and how working with you feels. Here is what that looks like on the page.
- Real weddings — pictures from weddings you planned, with the venue and the story.
- Your packages — full planning, partial planning and day-of coordination, said plainly.
- An inquiry form — the date, the venue, the guest count and the budget, to your inbox.
- How planning with you works — from the first call to the last dance.
- The venues and vendors you know — so couples see you've worked their room.
- Questions answered on WhatsApp — couples ask about their date by message.
- Your Instagram feed — this season's weddings, where couples already look.
- Real reviews — your Google rating shows on the page once you connect your Business Profile.
Getting found on Google
The week after the proposal, "wedding planner near me" at 1 a.m.
Newly engaged couples find a planner in three places, each with a different question in mind.
Google Search
They search the role and the place: "wedding planner Napa", "day of coordinator near me", "vineyard wedding planner". Every package and every venue you've worked gets a page written for local search, so the Napa search lands on the Napa venues with the inquiry form beside them.
Google Maps
On the map it's the stars, then the reviews, read for "calm", "handled everything" and "our families never saw a problem". Once your Business Profile is connected the rating shows up on the site, and Get Found goes down the listing's basics with you: hours, a category, a description.
ChatGPT & AI assistants
More couples ask ChatGPT what a planner costs and whether they need full planning or a coordinator. The answer is built from your listing, the reviews under it, and how clearly each package page says when you step in. A fact sheet for assistants publishes with the site, and the AI check reveals what an engaged couple is told about your studio.
For a wedding planner in your area: Wren & Ivy Events — 4.9★ across 200+ Google reviews, full planning and day-of coordination, real weddings online, packages listed.
A page per package and venue
Month-of coordination gets a page. The vineyard you've worked eleven times gets another.
- Month-of coordination, from eight weeks out
- Beaulieu Garden, eleven weddings
- Elopements and micro weddings
- Sonoma, the next valley over
- Hero with a ceremony overlooking the sea
- Where we plan, and how travel works
- Packages and what they include
- Inquiry form with date and guest count
- Real destination weddings
What couples search on the way to you
"Day of coordinator Napa" brings couples to your home page. The month-of page is a scroll away.
- Coordinator searches hit the home page
- Vineyard weddings on page two
- Elopements have no page
- The listing has no description
Edited on the Sunday after
Saturday's wedding is delivered Thursday. It's in the gallery Thursday night.
- The Carneros wedding, in the gallery
- 2028 dates from March
- Lena, the second lead planner
- Fall availability on the home page
Every couple, in order
A June inquiry with a budget, a WhatsApp about October 18, a mother asking about month-of: one list.
- June, 140 guests, the budget stated
- "Is October 18 open?"
- A mother asking about month-of
- The second planner reads it too
The year in engagements
January's engagement season, spring's venue tours, the fall of weddings: when couples looked for you.
- Packages in January
- Venue pages in spring
- The gallery in October
- Inquiries and calls, site-wide
What you actually get compared to the alternative.

Honest roundup
Wix, Zarla, GoDaddy and WordPress.com for wedding planners, scored
Zarla builds a wedding planner's website with your packages, an inquiry form, a map and local SEO already in place, as a first draft in about 30 seconds; you add your real weddings, venues and prices later. Wedding directories such as The Knot and Zola send couples' inquiries for a fee, planning software such as Aisle Planner and HoneyBook runs timelines, contracts and payments; Zarla builds the site that's yours, with every inquiry in one leads inbox.
Zarla is our product. This order comes from our full comparison, which scores every builder on the same 9 tests, Zarla included, and gives each one a catch.

- A slideshow gallery for your real weddings, picked for your kind of business
- Type changes in plain words, or ask for a new page, and the site updates
The CatchBuild my free wedding planner websiteThere's no tap-to-enlarge gallery view and no newsletter sending yet, so a couple sees each wedding at the size the layout gives it and the newsletter goes from an email tool, and a planner's first draft has no town pages. It's also newer than the big names.

Features- Airo writes a first website for your business in Websites + Marketing
- Online appointments with a deposit
- Photo attachments on the contact form
- Domain, email and website from one company
The CatchZarla vs GoDaddy →Editing by chat, and asking the AI for new pages later, happen in Airo AI Builder, a separate GoDaddy product with its own credits; in Websites + Marketing, pages for each town you serve are yours to write.

- An AI assistant that edits and creates pages, on every paid plan
- Thousands of plugins

Growing with you
Will Zarla grow with a busy wedding planning business?
Zarla keeps working as a wedding planning business grows from a few weddings a season to a team of planners: you add a page for each venue and service you want to be found for, every inquiry lands in one leads inbox with follow-up reminders, and planners join as team members. Here is what that looks like, and what Zarla doesn't do.
Yes, one at a time: ask the editor for "a page for Napa Valley wedding planner" and Zarla writes a new page for it, with its own Google title and description. There's no tool for adding dozens of area pages at once. A Premium site holds up to 100 pages, and a Business site has no page limit.
They can ask: the inquiry form takes the date, the venue, the guest count and the budget, and every inquiry lands in your leads inbox with an email alert, sorted hottest first with follow-up reminders. Zarla doesn't hold dates, send contracts or take deposits for a wedding planner; planning software such as HoneyBook or Aisle Planner does, and your site can link to it.
No. Zarla doesn't run wedding timelines, seating charts, budgets or vendor lists; planning software does. Zarla keeps the website current: ask the editor to add a real wedding with its pictures, and the to-do list holds your own follow-ups, like calling Saturday's venue tour couple.
Each planner joins as a team member and works the same leads inbox, the Social tool writes a week of posts about recent weddings for Instagram, Facebook and your Google Business Profile in one click, and an events or corporate side of the business can have its own site in the same account.
Yes, you can bring it across — Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built. If you leave later, Zarla doesn't export your site as files to host somewhere else. You can download your whole contact list as a spreadsheet at any time, and a domain you bought from another company stays registered with them, ready to point at your next site.

Wedding planner website FAQ
What is the best website builder for wedding planners?
We scored six website builders for wedding planners the same way, on nine tests worth 18 points: Wix 15, Zarla 14, GoDaddy 13, WordPress.com 13, Squarespace 12, Showit 7. On those scores Wix takes first place and Zarla is second. See the best website builders for wedding planners, with every score and each builder's catch. Zarla is an AI website builder for small businesses, purpose-built for wedding planners: it generates your entire wedding planner website in about 30 seconds — industry-specific content, local SEO, and built-in lead tracking (a CRM) included. Building and previewing is free; publishing it live starts on the Premium plan.
How much does a wedding planner website builder cost?
Zarla's wedding planner website builder is free to build and preview — no credit card required. Publishing your site live starts on the Premium plan, which includes hosting, SSL, unlimited lead tracking (a CRM), online bookings, and unlimited quotes and invoices.
How do I create a wedding planner website?
With Zarla's wedding planner website builder, just describe your business in plain English and your entire site is generated in about 30 seconds — content, images, layout, design, and SEO. You can then customize as much or as little as you want — most wedding planners go from a blank page to a finished site in minutes.
Will my wedding planner website show up on Google and Google Maps?
Yes — that's what Zarla's wedding planner website builder is designed for. Every site comes with SEO-optimized titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, fast page speeds, and mobile-responsive design. Zarla also builds in local SEO signals so you can rank in the Google Maps pack when people search "wedding planner near me."
Do I need technical skills to use a wedding planner website builder?
Not at all. Zarla's AI builds your wedding planner website automatically — you just describe your business in plain English. Edit anything by typing what you want changed, like "make the headline bigger" or "add a testimonials section." If you can send a text message, you can build a website with Zarla.
How is Zarla different from Wix or Squarespace for wedding planners?
On our scores for wedding planners, Wix takes first place and Zarla is second. The difference is how you work: Zarla writes the whole wedding planner website from a sentence about your business and you change it by typing, with a leads inbox, invoices and payments in the same place; Wix and Squarespace suit owners who like building and fine-tuning the site themselves.
Can a wedding planner website builder help me get more leads?
That's the whole point of Zarla. It's built to get you found on Google Search, Google Maps, and AI assistants like ChatGPT — and then convert those visitors into actual leads. Every inquiry is captured in a built-in CRM pipeline, and you can send AI-generated quotes and invoices right from the platform.
Does Zarla work for my specific type of wedding planner business?
Yes. Zarla's wedding planner website builder adapts to your specialty and location — it generates content and design matched to the specific services you offer and the clientele you serve.
Can I hire someone to build my wedding planner website instead?
You can, and for a complex custom build it is often the right call. In the US a freelancer typically charges $500–$2,000 for a small-business site and an agency $3,000–$10,000, and you usually wait two to six weeks; unless you are on a retainer, later changes are billed too. Zarla builds your wedding planner website in about 30 seconds and you change it yourself by typing what you want. Build and preview it free first, then decide.
Is there a 100% free wedding planner website builder?
Most "free" builders mean a trial that expires, or a permanent plan that puts their branding on your site and parks it on a long subdomain. Zarla is free to build, preview and edit — no credit card — and publishing your wedding planner website live on your own domain starts on the Premium plan. Nothing is charged while you're deciding.
Which AI is best for building a wedding planner website?
General assistants like ChatGPT and Claude write good copy and will happily produce a page for you, but you are left to arrange hosting, a domain, images, forms and SEO before anyone can visit it. A purpose-built AI website builder does that part too: Zarla turns one description of your wedding planner business into a finished, hosted site with all of it already in place, shaped the way wedding planners actually need it.
Do I need to buy web hosting for my wedding planner website?
No. Your wedding planner website needs hosting to show up when someone searches "wedding planner near me", but Zarla hosts it for you once you publish on a paid plan: Google Cloud, the security certificate and automatic backups included, and no hosting account or plugins for wedding planners to look after. Read when separate hosting makes sense.
How much does a wedding planner charge?
It depends on the market and how much of the planning you do: full planning costs the most, partial planning less, and day-of coordination the least. Planners charge a flat fee, a percentage of the wedding budget, or an hourly rate, and most take a deposit to hold the date. Check what three planners near you charge for the same service, and put your packages and starting prices on your website so the couples who reach out already expect them.
What is the difference between a wedding planner and a day-of coordinator?
A full-service wedding planner works with a couple for months, on the budget, the venue, the vendors and the design. A day-of coordinator, really a month-of coordinator, steps in four to eight weeks out, takes over the plan the couple made, confirms every vendor and runs the day itself. Many planners offer both, as separate packages on their website.
Do you need a license to be a wedding planner?
Not in the US: no state licenses wedding planners. You need a business registration and the usual local business license, liability insurance (many venues ask for a certificate), and contracts that spell out your fee, the deposit and what happens if the date moves. Certificates from planning courses are optional. Check your city and state for the business license and sales tax rules.
How much does it cost to have a wedding planner website built?
In the US, having a wedding planner website built for you typically costs $500–$2,000 from a freelancer or $3,000–$10,000 from an agency, plus a domain (usually $10–$20 a year) and hosting. A do-it-yourself website builder usually costs $15–$30 a month for the site alone, and you lay out the gallery and the inquiry form yourself. With Zarla, building and previewing your wedding planner website is free, and publishing it on your own domain starts on the Premium plan, with the gallery, the inquiry form and the leads inbox included.
What should a wedding planner website include?
Real weddings you've planned, your packages and starting prices, how planning with you works, the venues and vendors you know, real reviews, your Instagram feed and an inquiry form that asks for the date, the venue, the guest count and the budget. Zarla builds the pages, the gallery and the inquiry form for you, and you add your weddings as you go.
