💬 What to Include on Your Wedding Website:

To help your guests feel prepared (and save yourself a flood of last-minute texts), here are a few frequently asked questions you’ll want to answer on your wedding website:

• What time is the ceremony?
  Be clear about when the ceremony starts and whether guests should arrive early—or not too early. If you’re taking pre-ceremony photos at the venue, note that early guests may be asked to wait in designated areas. This helps avoid accidental run-ins before the big reveal, especially if the bride doesn’t want to be seen beforehand.

• What’s the dress code?
  Let your guests know the preferred attire for your event—whether it’s cocktail, formal, boho chic, or “bring your dancing boots.” Giving your guests a style cue not only helps them dress appropriately but adds to the fun and overall feel of your wedding day.

• What’s for dinner?
  You don’t need a full menu, but offering a heads-up on whether it’s BBQ or Steak and Chicken helps guests plan (and get excited!).

• Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
  Let guests know they’ll be comfortable—our venue is fully accessible, and we’re happy to assist anyone who needs help.

• What’s the bar situation?
  Is it an open bar, limited drinks, or cash bar? Set expectations early so guests can plan accordingly.

Including this info on your Zola, Joy, or The Knot wedding site can make a huge difference in guest experience—and give you one less thing to stress about during planning.

Planning a wedding can feel like a full-time job—but it doesn’t have to. At The Venue at Chilleens, we’re all about making your planning process smooth, organized, and (dare we say?) even fun.

One of the easiest ways to simplify your wedding planning is to use an all-in-one wedding website. These platforms let you track RSVPs, collect guest names, share important details, and keep everything in one convenient spot. Here are our favorite wedding planning sites for creating your dream wedding website and managing RSVPs with ease:

1. Zola

Best for: Couples who want a modern, mobile-friendly site with tons of free design options.

Zola is a favorite among our couples because it’s so user-friendly. Their wedding website builder includes RSVP tracking, registry integration, and even hotel info and FAQs. You can password protect your site and get notified instantly when guests RSVP or leave a message. Alisha as well as Aleah when planning her sisters wedding both used Zola and LOVED it!

2. The Knot

Best for: Couples who want a classic, polished look and easy guest communication.

With The Knot, you can create a beautiful wedding website that includes your love story, travel info, and registry. The RSVP system is simple for guests to use, and the guest list manager helps you stay on top of every detail—from dietary needs to plus-ones.

3. Joy

Best for: Tech-savvy couples who love customization.

Joy lets you do a lot more than just collect RSVPs. You can build a full wedding schedule, send digital invites, upload photos, and communicate with guests. It even has an app, so you and your guests can access everything on the go.

4. Minted

Best for: Design lovers and those using Minted for invitations.

If you’re already using Minted for your paper goods, creating your website here will give you a seamless, cohesive look. Their RSVP tracker is clean and simple, and you can match your digital site to your invitation suite.

5. Riley & Grey

Best for: High-end weddings and a luxury aesthetic.

Riley & Grey offers stunning, editorial-style wedding websites that stand out. While there’s a cost to use it, many of our couples find the elevated look worth the price—especially for a formal or black-tie event.
