Vowesta

Vowesta is an all-in-one wedding platform for couples who want planning, guests, a site, invitations and contributions connected. It is especially suitable for large or multilingual weddings because its core guest and RSVP tools have no stated cap. The trade-off is that money collected incurs deductions, while its optional camera deliberately limits each guest to one take.

Overview

Vowesta combines a wedding website, planning workspace and event coordination across web, Android and iOS. Couples can run multiple events, add travel information, and publish on a Vowesta subdomain. Connecting a domain you already own costs nothing; the dashboard and wedding sites support English, French and Spanish.

Unlimited guests, households, plus-ones and RSVPs make the free core plan a strong fit for sizeable guest lists. Vowesta says users can export everything and leave at any time, keeps guest lists and photos private, and never sells or shares guest lists. It also describes passwordless one-time-code sign-in, encryption in transit and at rest, and GDPR and CCPA compliance.

Key features

Planning and guest coordination

The AI planner turns wedding details into timelines, vendor suggestions, budget-risk warnings and proposed seating arrangements. Those recommendations can give a couple a starting structure, while the drag-and-drop seating chart handles the final layout. Email invitations and QR-code save-the-dates complement RSVP tracking and meal-choice collection.

Website, registry and events

The universal registry accepts items from any store and cash funds. Guests can contribute by card through Stripe, but Vowesta takes 2.5% from cash gifts, registry contributions and raffle tickets, with card processing deducted before payout as well. Raffle and stag-and-doe ticket sales include an auditable draw, which adds accountability for fundraising events but does not remove the transaction cost.

Kept guest camera

Kept gives each guest a 36-shot phone camera with no preview or retakes. Photos appear only after the roll develops, creating a deliberately surprise-oriented record rather than an immediately curated gallery. The free allowance covers the first five guests; larger groups require a one-time add-on priced according to how many guests join the film.

Pricing

Everything included — free, with no monthly fee, premium tier or trial. It includes all planning tools, unlimited guests and RSVPs, and custom-domain connection. This is the right starting point for couples who want broad functionality without a subscription and who are comfortable with Vowesta's payment deductions and five-guest Kept allowance.

Kept guest camera beyond 5 guests — $1.29, paid once, paid once per event; the final price depends on the number of participating guests. Choose it only when the one-shot camera format suits the whole group.

New custom domain through Vowesta — $19.99 a year, renewed yearly at the registrar price with WHOIS privacy included. Buying a new address adds an ongoing domain bill; using a domain you already own avoids that charge.

Platforms

Vowesta runs on web, Android and iOS, so couples and guests can use it across major device types. English, French and Spanish are supported on both the dashboard and wedding websites.

Who it's for

Vowesta suits couples managing large, complex guest lists, multiple wedding-related events or multilingual communications. It is also a sensible choice for anyone wanting a site, registry and seating workflow in one free plan. Couples who need full control over every guest photo, or who want contributions without percentage deductions, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited guests, households, plus-ones and RSVPs avoid per-guest scaling pressure.
• Pro: A custom domain you already own connects at no charge, while sites and the dashboard support three languages.
• Pro: Exportable data, private guest lists and stated encryption and privacy compliance give couples a clear exit and privacy posture.
• Con: Cash gifts, registry contributions and raffle tickets lose 2.5%, plus card-processing deductions.
• Con: Kept's 36 shots have no preview or retakes, and the free camera allocation covers only five guests.
• Con: A newly registered custom domain costs 19.99 USD yearly after the initial decision to use one.

Verdict

Choose Vowesta if you want an unusually broad, no-monthly-fee wedding workspace with unlimited guest coordination, a site and integrated registry tools. Look elsewhere if transaction deductions are unacceptable or if your guests need conventional, previewable photography rather than Kept's fixed one-shot format.
