WedKit vs Planning Pod
A Planning Pod alternative for planners who only do weddings
Planning Pod is event management software for planners and venues across many kinds of events. WedKit is built only for weddings and focuses on the guest side: each couple's wedding website, RSVPs with meal choices, seating, guest messages, a run of show and free vendor logins. It has no contracts or invoicing. From $49 CAD per wedding, and couples never pay.
Free workspace. Couples never pay.
When Planning Pod may be the better pick
You plan more than weddings
Corporate events, conferences and parties are outside what WedKit does. A general event tool covers them in one place.You're a venue
WedKit is built for planners and couples. It has no venue calendar or booking tools.You want business tools in the same product
WedKit has no proposals, contracts, invoices or client payments, and won't add them.Your team already works there
If your process runs well where it is, keep it, and use WedKit only where its wedding guest tools help.

See the plans in detailQuestions planners ask
- Is WedKit a good fit for an event planning company?
- If most of your work is weddings, yes. WedKit only handles weddings, so keep another tool for corporate and other events.
- How is WedKit priced?
- The workspace is free. Pay $49 CAD per wedding, or choose Planner at $59 CAD a month or Studio at $179 CAD a month. Both plans start with a 14-day free trial. Check Planning Pod's own pricing page for its current plans.
- Can couples log in to their wedding?
- Yes. Each couple gets their own free login. They work on their site and guest list with you, and never see your billing or other clients.
- Can my caterer see meal counts?
- Yes. Invite the caterer to the vendor portal and they see the headcount, meal choices and dietary needs, seating and the schedule, always current.
- Can my team share the work?
- Yes. Seats come with roles: owner, planner or assistant. On Studio, assistants see only the weddings they're assigned to.
