Wedding planners marketing FAQ
Questions before we build.
Can you support independent planners and planning teams?
Yes. Ownership, handoffs, approvals, and automation depth are adapted to the team's operating model.
Can couples and guests receive separate communication?
Yes. Each audience should have distinct permissions, milestones, content, and frequency.
Do you invent wedding portfolio claims?
No. Proof, imagery, testimonials, and outcomes must come from the planner and be used with permission.
Can this connect with planning software?
We assess the real events, fields, APIs, exports, and permissions before defining integrations.
