Features — Ceremono

01The Platform

Plan an event with the focus it deserves.

Everything you need from "save the date" to "thanks for coming" — invitations, RSVP collection, guest lists, seating planning, and a live dashboard, all in one place.

Invitation Invitation preview

Invitations that feel like print, with the flexibility of software.

Pick from typography-first templates, customize what matters, share with a single link. Every invitation pairs with a dynamic RSVP form your guests fill out on their phones — no email back-and-forth.

◇

20+ minimalist templates Curated, editorial typography — designed by us, never AI-generated.

◇

Drag-and-drop RSVP builder Short answer, dropdowns, multiple choice, meal preferences, plus-one fields — drop them in, drag to reorder.

◇

One clean link to share No clunky URLs. ceremono.com/elena-mark goes straight to your invitation.

Seating Plan Seating planner

Guest lists and seating that update themselves.

Every RSVP feeds your guest list automatically. Drag people onto tables, the seating planner respects party sizes and capacities, and the meal counts roll up in real time.

◇

Drag-and-drop seating Round, square, or long tables. Capacity-aware — won't let you over-pack. Auto-seat algorithm available.

◇

Live meal counts Chicken / beef / vegetarian totals, per table and overall — pull straight from RSVP responses.

◇

Print-ready in one click Seating chart posters, place cards, table signs — all generated from your guest list. Print at home or order from us.

◑

Live response dashboard

See RSVP rates, attendance projections, and meal totals update in real time. No exporting CSVs to figure out who's coming.

◒

Plus-ones & party sizes

Configure exactly how many extra guests each invitee can bring. Track the party properly, not as a single name.

◓

Reminders & deadlines

Automatic email nudges to guests who haven't responded as your RSVP cutoff approaches.

02The Marketplace

Hire your team without the spreadsheet chaos.

15+ vetted vendors across photography, venues, florists, music, catering, transport, and planning. Quote, contract and pay through one place — funds held in escrow until the event.

Vendor profile Vendor portfolio

Profiles built by humans, for humans.

Every vendor on Ceremono goes through manual review — portfolio, licenses, references. What you see is what you book.

◎

Verified before listed We check business licenses, insurance, and past work. No "for fun" accounts.

◎

Real reviews from real clients Only customers who actually booked through Ceremono can leave a review — no fake testimonials.

◎

Portfolio that's their work Vendors prove ownership of every portfolio image during onboarding. No stock photos passing as past events.

How a booking works

Quote to contract to payout — in one inbox.

Browse & shortlist

Filter by category, location, and price. Save vendors to compare.

Request a quote

One short brief, sent to as many vendors as you like. Most reply within hours.

Sign in-platform

Standard Ceremono contract or upload your own. Digital signature, audit trail.

Pay into escrow

Funds held until the event date. Vendor never gets paid for work they haven't done.

Review & release

After the event, you leave a review and the payout releases to the vendor automatically.

◎

One inbox

Every quote, contract, and message lives in one thread per vendor. No more "which Gmail label is this in?"

◎

Escrow-protected

Stripe Treasury-backed escrow accounts hold deposits and balances. Insured by FDIC partner banks.

◎

Dispute resolution

If a vendor doesn't deliver, our team mediates. Funds return to you if unresolved.

03The Shop

Print and gifts built from your event.

Place cards, seating charts, menu cards, candy boxes, candles, hand-iced cookies — designed in-house, hand-finished in our Edison, NJ studio, and shipped straight to your venue.

From your guest list Printed place cards

The data on the cards comes from your event.

You don't re-type 145 names into a print shop's form. Order place cards, and they're auto-generated with names, tables, and meal icons pulled directly from your guest list.

✦

Auto-built from your event Names, table assignments, meal choices — all pulled live. Update the seating plan, the order updates too.

✦

Free digital proofs We email a proof within 24 hours of order. Nothing prints until you approve. Unlimited revisions.

✦

Hand-finished in New Jersey Every order passes through our Edison, NJ studio. 3–8 days production, 1–3 days transit (East Coast) to 5–7 (West Coast).

The night, preserved forever.

Guests scan a QR code and upload photos, videos, and well-wishes from their phones. You approve what goes up. Everything lives forever on a permanent memory wall — and lights up the room in real time on the live screen.

Watching you two dance to "At Last" — none of us made it through with dry eyes. Cheers to forever.
