Where Wedsy is different

Bridebook hands you a website, a checklist and a way to find suppliers, then leaves you to run the day. Wedsy covers the same planning ground - free, for up to 100 guests - and then keeps going into the day itself: a live run sheet, guest check-in, song requests, games and a moderated photo wall on the venue screen. It also has a 3D seating walkthrough and AI try-on, which nobody else offers.
