About Trouwplan

Planning a wedding sounds romantic until you're three spreadsheets deep, cross-referencing a guest list against a seating chart that's already out of date, while a supplier is waiting on an email you meant to send last Tuesday. That gap — between how a wedding feels and how much unglamorous coordination it actually takes — is why Trouwplan exists.

Why we started this

While planning our own wedding, and later serving as master of ceremonies at friends' weddings, we kept seeing the same thing happen: a couple gets engaged, everything is exciting for about two weeks, and then the actual work begins. Guest lists live in one document, the budget in another, suppliers, contacts, and appointments in an inbox somewhere, and the seating chart is a napkin sketch that three people have "the latest version" of. None of it talks to any of the rest of it. For planners juggling several weddings at once, that same chaos just multiplies.

We wanted one place where the guest list, the budget, the checklist, and the seating chart are actually connected — so when a guest RSVPs, you don't have to go update four different things by hand. So a wedding planner working with a couple can see the same plan the couple sees, instead of trading spreadsheet versions back and forth over email.

What we're trying to get right

We're not trying to bury you in features you'll never touch. We'd rather ship fewer things and have them actually work the way you'd expect — a seating planner that understands your dinner tables and your ceremony layout, a budget tracker that doesn't require a finance degree to read, and a guest list that stays in sync with RSVPs instead of drifting out of date the moment people start replying.

We also think planning a wedding shouldn't feel like managing a project at work. So even though there's real structure underneath — permissions for planners and couples working together, a proper audit trail, secure accounts — we try to keep the day-to-day experience calm and specific to what a wedding actually needs, not a generic project-management tool wearing a wedding-shaped skin.

Who Trouwplan is for

Trouwplan works for couples planning their own wedding from start to finish, and for professional planners managing multiple weddings — and for the cases in between, where a couple brings in a planner partway through and everyone needs to see the same information without starting over.

Where we're headed

If something feels missing, clunky, or just wrong, we'd genuinely like to hear about it — that feedback is most of how this product gets better. You can reach us any time through our contact page.
