Weddings, every phase
Your wedding is not one event — it is a sequence of ceremonies. PLVN keeps every phase, every vendor, and every tradition in one place.
The phases of an African wedding
Across Africa, a wedding is rarely one event — it is a sequence of ceremonies, each with its own guest list, vendors, logistics, and cultural protocol. Whether you are Nigerian, Kenyan, Senegalese, Zimbabwean, or in the diaspora, PLVN organises all of it in one place.

Vendor categories
Every specialist you need for a multi-ceremony African wedding is discoverable and bookable inside PLVN.
One timeline, four ceremonies
Most couples manage their wedding across WhatsApp groups, Google Sheets, and handwritten lists. PLVN replaces all of that with a single shared workspace — tasks, vendors, budget, guest list, and the day-of timeline, all together.
Shared planning
Invite your partner, parents, and planner. Each person sees their tasks and nothing bleeds into the wrong conversation.
Multi-ceremony calendar
Set separate dates for the knocking, traditional, church, and reception. Deadlines auto-cascade from each ceremony date.
Budget across ceremonies
Track spend by ceremony type. See where the money is going before you commit, not after the deposits are paid.
Vendor communication
Message caterers, photographers, and bands from within the app. No more switching between WhatsApp threads to chase confirmations.
"We were planning four separate ceremonies. PLVN was the only thing keeping all of it from falling apart — the vendors, the family coordination, the budget. It actually held."Abena & Kweku — Traditional & Church wedding, West Africa
