Would you let AI take some of your wedding admin off your hands? 📚📨💍

AI will never replace the human touch that goes into planning a great wedding, but it can take some of the repetitive admin off your hands. From “What time does the ceremony start?” to “Where can we park?”, answering the same guest questions can quickly become another time-consuming task on your wedding to-do list, especially as the big day gets closer.

That’s where Festa comes in. Having already supported weddings across the US, the AI wedding coordinator is now coming to the UK, helping couples manage guest communication without having to answer every question themselves.

Festa can answer questions using your wedding information, help with RSVPs, share important updates and flag anything that genuinely needs your attention. It’s not designed to replace your wedding planner, venue or suppliers - but to take some of the repetitive guest admin off your plate.

Would you use an AI coordinator for your wedding? 👇

Head to the link below to discover more about Festa and how AI could make the run-up to your wedding a little easier.
