It all started with one wedding..

Built by a Wedding Planner with a Bride’s Perspective
Like almost every bride, Rumaiza was frustrated with the non-transparent processes of wedding planning — the hidden costs, filling out contact forms, waiting 3 days to hear back from the photographer, finding out 50% of them were unavailable for my big day, comparing quotes between 6 different PDF proposals, finding out the hidden costs, and tracking payments on spreadsheets with her budget and ACTUAL spend!
For someone who knew their way around wedding planning*, she was both emotional and overwhelmed! She realized it was impossible to book a vendor online or figure out their availability or PRICE! (I mean.. how much does a bridal bouquet even cost?!)
Her husband, Anas saw her struggle as a bride-to-be and how she would navigate issues as a wedding planner* with her clients. Anas thought, “how can something so simple be so complicated?” and Wedy was born. They became obsessed with how to fix the broken wedding industry and got straight to work! Rumaiza designed all the wireframes and Anas structured the “flow” of each screen.
Wedy was thoughtfully created from a Bride’s and Wedding Planner’s point of view. Beautifully crafted to be simple, clean and easy to use. It’s the FIRST BOOKING PLATFORM powered in real-time for the wedding world! Think Pinterest and AirBnB having a love child! Clear and to the point mobile app — Wedy is the most effective wedding planner on the market. (oh, and you can get free consultations too!)
