Built for this

One shared workspace

Out of the WhatsApp groups and scattered spreadsheets. Tasks, vendors, budget and the day-of timeline — together.

Shared planning

Partner, parents and planner each see their own tasks — nothing lands in the wrong thread.

Multi-ceremony calendar

Separate dates for each ceremony. Deadlines cascade from whichever one they belong to.

Budget by ceremony

See where the money goes before deposits are paid, not after.

Vendor messaging

Reach caterers, photographers and bands in-app. No more chasing confirmations across chats.

"Four ceremonies, two families, one budget. PLVN was the only thing holding it together."
