Save the venues, quotes, screenshots, and contracts scattered across your inbox and camera roll. PartyPlan reads each one, sorts it into the right category, and turns the pile into clean side-by-side comparisons, a live budget, and a list of what to do next — automatically.
The way it works today
The "organize it yourself" method feels productive — until it quietly costs you money, dates, and your weekends.
One quote folds in the service charge, the next doesn't. Without normalizing, you pick the “cheaper” option and overpay by thousands.
The date to lock your venue is buried in an email thread. You miss it, lose the date — or the deposit.
Every new quote means more copy-pasting. By the time the sheet is updated, three more screenshots are sitting in your camera roll.
The PartyPlan way
Forward an email, drop a screenshot, or paste a link. We do the filing, the math, and the reminders — you just make the calls.
Every option lives in the right category the moment you drop it in — nothing to file, nothing to retype.
Fees, taxes, and delivery normalized to your guest count, so you compare real numbers — not headline prices.
Targets, committed spend, and deposit due-dates recalculate automatically as new quotes land.
“I dropped in 14 venue quotes over a weekend and PartyPlan caught that two of them excluded the service charge. That catch alone saved us thousands.”
“The deposit reminders are the unsung hero. We never lost a date and never scrambled to wire money last-minute.”
“I'm a planner juggling six couples. Forwarding quotes to one inbox and getting clean comparisons back is a different life.”
“Our spreadsheet died the day we found this. The budget just… stays right.”
Four things to remember. Each does one job exceptionally well.
Forward, screenshot, or paste — we read it.

Why we built this
When we planned our own wedding, the "fun part" turned into a swamp of PDFs, half-remembered quotes, and a spreadsheet that lied to us about what we could afford. Every vendor presented their price differently, and the tools that promised to help were really built to sell us more vendors.
So we built the thing we actually wanted: a planning brain that you pay for — never the vendors — so its only job is to be on your side. Drop in the mess, and it gives you the clarity to make good decisions with your own money.
We're a small team that cares a lot about this. If something's off, you'll talk to a human who wants to fix it.
Subscriptions, billed monthly — cancel anytime. 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
Try the whole flow with one event.
For the couple or host in the thick of it.
We keep your plan tidy for you.
Cancel in two clicks. Your data is always exportable. Vendors never see your budget — you're the customer, not them.
No — that's the whole point. Drop in a screenshot, photo, or PDF and PartyPlan pulls out the vendor, total, fees, and deposit for you. You just confirm.
Start with one screenshot. See your first clean comparison in under a minute.
