rae · the AI wedding planner who does the work

The best day of your life should not be the hardest year of it.

Rae finds the vendors, writes the emails, chases the replies, reads every quote, and watches the budget. The work: hers. The day: entirely yours.

rae, being straight with you

The most stressed person at a wedding is the two people getting married.

A year out, the weight is already there. The spreadsheet that never balances. The vendor on read since Tuesday. The decision you closed that quietly reopened itself at midnight.

How an AI wedding planner differs from a planning app
rae · marigold's AI planner

This is Rae. She does the work.

Not just another AI.

We just got engaged and everything already feels urgent. Where do we even start?
rae · 8:15 pm

Breathe. It is never all at once. It is a few small things a day, and I carry the rest. This week is just three: your season, your city, your people. We can absolutely do this.

01

Your advocate

Zero vendor money, never a percentage of your spend. Rae answers to the two of you alone.

02

Nothing fails silently

She watches every vendor thread, deadline, and headcount, and flags what drifts before it costs you.

03

She never invents a number

Every price traces to a real quote or real data for your city. When she does not know, she says so.

04

You decide everything

Money, contracts, and dates always come to you first. She recommends, you make the call.

the planner for the seven in ten

The day everyone talks about, without the planner fee.

Seven in ten couples plan without a planner. A full service one runs $3,800 to $5,500 and up. Rae does that job, and the fee goes back into the day itself.

The whole journey, step by step: what an AI wedding planner actually does
01

Vendors found, and written to

She finds vendors that fit your vibe and your budget, writes the outreach herself, and never shares your budget, so vendors name their real price first.

02

Buried fees, flagged

Every quote and contract read to the last page: the fee on page three, the overtime rate, the clause you would only meet on the day.

03

Logistics, coordinated

One timeline across every vendor and the day of. You are never the messenger between the caterer and the venue.

04

Every event, not just the day

The shower, the bachelor and bachelorette, the honeymoon, the brunch after. One planner across all of it.

ready for simran and arjun

She holds every detail. You make the call.

Rae never hands you homework. She hands you a decision that is ready to make, with the why and the tradeoff. And she already knows the shape of your wedding: the Anand Karaj is a morning ceremony, the gurdwara is dry, and langar has its own timing.

ready for you

Move the bar setup to the reception hall.

Why: the gurdwara is dry and the ceremony runs to 1 pm. Langar flows straight out of the ceremony, and the bar opens at the reception hall instead.

The tradeoff: a second setup crew at the hall adds about $600. Rae is pushing the caterer to waive it before you decide.

closed stays closed · no midnight reopening

ten weddings · one standard

Whatever yours looks like, it gets the same care.

Different sizes, different budgets, different worlds. Rae does not rank them. She builds them.

the day itself

A founder in the room, on the day of.

Rae carries every week up to it. On the day itself, a person who has read every decision you made walks your timeline, holds the vendors, and quietly fixes what wobbles, so you never touch a logistics problem in your own gown.

for our first weddings

A day of coordinator you don't have to tell every detail to.

Not a stranger with a clipboard meeting you at the rehearsal. Someone who already knows your whole plan, because we helped build it with you.

Add a founder in the room · starts at $800, plus travel

It starts with a call with the founders.

Excitement you thought you would not get to feel: that is what comes back when someone you trust is carrying the plan. We are onboarding couples to Rae right now. Tell us one true thing about your day, and the founders will set up your call and start your free week.

Free for a week, then $499.

A full service planner runs $3,800 to $5,500 and up, and a day of coordinator alone averages $1,600. Rae is $499, once, for your whole wedding, never a percentage of what you spend.
