A wedding record is the central hub for everything relating to a specific event — modules, billing, tasks, messages and the couple portal all attach to it.
Creating a wedding
Open a couple's profile and click Add Wedding. You can also create a wedding from Weddings → Add Wedding and then select the couple from the dropdown.
Wedding fields
- Wedding name — a descriptive name for this booking, e.g. "Smith-Jones Wedding" or "Evening Reception". This is used throughout the platform to identify the booking.
- Event date — the date the wedding takes place. This appears on the calendar and in the couple's portal.
- Event time — the time the event begins (optional but recommended).
- Venue name — the name of the venue or specific room where the event is taking place.
- Venue address — full address including postcode, useful if managing events across multiple locations.
- Expected guests — the anticipated guest count. This feeds into module calculations such as per-head catering costs.
- Budget — the couple's total budget for the event (optional; used for your internal reference).
- Currency — defaults to your business's default currency (usually GBP). Can be changed per wedding if needed.
- Notes — internal freeform notes visible only to your team.
Initial status
Every new wedding is created with a status of Enquiry. You can change this immediately if the booking is already further along — for example, set it to Planning if you are migrating an existing confirmed booking into Weddinguru.
See Understanding wedding statuses for a full explanation of the pipeline.

Once a wedding is created, the recommended next steps are:
- Add the relevant Wedding Modules (food, drinks, music, guest list, etc.)
- Create a Quote for the couple
- Send the couple their Portal Link
- Create any immediate Tasks for your team
