Wedding Planner
Plan your wedding together, without losing the details in a group chat
Wedding planning runs across a couple, two families and a wedding party — and every one of them is in a different thread. Voko puts the conversation and the plan in the same place, so the timeline, the vendor list and the task split stay current as decisions get made.

Wedding planning questions
What does a wedding day timeline look like?
Work backwards from the ceremony. Hair and make-up typically starts four to five hours before, photos of each party an hour before, ceremony, then a cocktail hour that exists mainly to buy time for couple portraits, then dinner, speeches and dancing. Build in 20 minutes of slack before the ceremony — something always runs late, and the ceremony is the one thing that cannot start early.
How long should the gap between ceremony and reception be?
An hour to ninety minutes. That covers group photos and couple portraits without leaving guests standing around with nothing to do — which is why the cocktail hour exists. If the gap has to be longer than 90 minutes, give guests somewhere to sit and something to eat.
When should you book wedding vendors?
Venue and photographer first, 9–12 months out, because they book up furthest ahead. Caterer and band six to nine months, florist three to six, hair and make-up trials around three. Everything else follows the venue, so do not book anything with a deposit until the venue is signed.
Who should be in the wedding planning group chat?
Keep the day-to-day planning to the couple plus one or two people who are actually doing tasks. Bring the wider wedding party and family in for the decisions that involve them — seating, transport, the rehearsal — rather than for every vendor email. Large planning groups generate opinions faster than decisions.
How do you split wedding planning tasks between people?
Give each person a whole area rather than scattered errands: one owns vendor communication, one owns the guest list and RSVPs, one owns the day-of timeline. Put deadlines next to names, and keep a visible list of what is still unassigned — that list is where weddings quietly go wrong.
How much of the wedding budget goes to what?
A common split is roughly 40–50% venue and catering, 10–12% photography, 8–10% flowers and décor, 8% music, 5% attire, with the rest across stationery, transport, rings and a contingency. Hold back 5–10% as contingency in an actual line — the overruns are usually guest-count creep and last-minute vendor extras.
