Wedy was extremely easy to work with and did great going over all options and tailoring it to exactly what you want. The transparent package options made it so easy for us to make a decision financially and budget it out. I found the Santa Barbara botanic garden venue on the app and I knew our pictures would turn out perfectly — and we had the most magical wedding day ever!
There are so many wedding apps out there and yet none of them get it quite right. This app, on the other hand, nails it! Ease to use, simplifies the decision making process for us based on budget and stunning locations, and does it all in a great user interface. Highly recommend!
We loved working with Abigail and recommend her to anyone looking for help planning their wedding! In the months of planning leading up to the wedding, Abigail patiently answered our countless questions, recommended great vendors to our package, met with us for vendor meetings, and worked so well with the coordinators at our ceremony and reception venues. She pointed out potential issues on the venue walk-through and provided economical solutions for how to remedy them. She was crucial in helping define our vision and set-up. The wedy team is a well-oiled machine capable of total wedding domination. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your big day. You won't regret it.
The wedy team was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with! They are not only some of the kindest and sweetest people we know, but they are also extremely professional and organized and hard workers! They are VERY good at what they do! They gave us the wedding of our dreams and more with no stress! We booked the all inclusive wedding package to help us help us make decisions on every detail. I personally loved how the app lets you see itemized costs to keep us on track of the budgeting process. Thank you all for making our wedding day elegant, stress-free and perfect for our family and friends!
