Free wedding planner for couples

A free wedding planner should pass three tests: every feature is usable, no premium tier gates the things you'll actually need, and there's no per-guest pricing. Most "free" wedding tools fail at least one of those tests. Brunchie passes all three today. The canonical pricing commitment is at Free forever.

What "free" usually means in this category

Most apps in the wedding space call themselves free, but the fine print does one of these:

1. Free trial. Free for 14 or 30 days, then a subscription. Useful for a venue site you'll log into once; useless for a planning tool you'll touch every week for 9 months.
2. Per-guest pricing. Free up to 50 guests, then $X per guest above that. Charging by headcount means the bigger your wedding, the more you pay — exactly when the tool's value is highest.
3. Premium-tier feature gates. The seating chart is paid. The RSVP export is paid. The dietary-restriction column is paid. Each gate is a small upsell, but together they describe a tool you can't actually use without paying.
4. Watermarked exports. Print your seating chart with a competitor's logo on it.

What Brunchie's free actually covers

Per the Free forever page, all core features are free. That includes:

• Hangouts — one shared room for the wedding (or any group event)
• Guest list + RSVP tracker — including the "Add by name" tab for guests who aren't on email
• Seating chart — drag-and-drop with AI auto-assign, PDF import, 2-page print-ready PDF export, no watermark
• Polls — single, multiple, ranked voting with deadlines and anonymous options
• Expense splitting / Settle up — including the host-private mode that wedding budgets default to
• Spreadsheets — shared live sheets for budgets, checklists, potluck signups
• Itinerary — multi-itinerary support (public + host-only) with audience visibility
• Photobooth — the shared album with photos, videos, voice memos, boomerangs
• Calendar sync — Google, Apple, Outlook
• Guest check-in — QR code at the door
• Vendor docs / Docs tab — PDF storage with view-only sharing tiers

Which features may carry a fee in the future

The Free forever page names three specific areas where Brunchie may introduce fees in the future: hangouts with very large guest counts, seat and table management at scale, and photo and video sharing. The page is the authoritative source — that's where future pricing announcements will go.
