Joy - Wedding App & Website 4+

Perfect!

I found this website and app and I’m just so glad I did. It was so easy to use and helped with my guest wedding planning immensely. I love that I can use digital correspondence along with my traditional paper invites. We used the private online RSVP and had zero issues. Plus I love that all my guests can use the app for the schedule as well as post pics and communicate with us! Plus when I had questions about how to find a specific item on the app the support was quick and very thorough. I have recommended this to all my friends who are getting married and on a bridal group I’m a part of.

I love that it’s super easy to use. It doesn’t have a lot of clutter. The only downside is that it doesn’t have a lot of planning tools like budget and checklists BUT I also didn’t personally need those and they often have useless suggestions. It would also be cool if there was a non-wedding version too for other large events like family reunions, family vacations, birthdays, etc.

TL;DR - Perfect for planning my small, non-traditional, destination wedding. Perfect for guest use. Highly recommend.

Sharing everyone’s event photos - and a great way to keep your guests informed!

This is a great way to share the photos that your guests take at your event. I don’t know when I will get to see the photos that the photo crew took at the wedding, but I’m seeing loads of candid shots taken by wedding guests! This is fantastic! Joy also made it easy to keep guests informed, provide access to a gift registry, provide guest a way to rsvp, provide notice of food allergies, share the background of the reason for the event - in this case a wedding - and gets attendees involved in sharing the experience. I had people contact me to ask about event details because they misplaced their event invitation. I simply sent them the link to this event on Joy so they could sign in and find the information they were looking for. This is a great organizing tool - keeping all the information in one place. And the pictures! Love that everyone is sharing the photos they took!!

Great at first, ended with disappointment

I was really excited to use a site and app that wasn't wedding wire or the knot. I really liked the design and the UI seemed pretty straightforward. Everything was great. Until we started getting our RSVP's... which is a pretty important part of the process. This part unfortunately got convoluted, and the UI seemed to get less and less friendly. The biggest heartbreak was that 6 guests who had, without a doubt, previously RSVP'd "yes," had inexplicably disappeared without warning. This threw off our numbers, and by the time we realized what had happened, we were a week away from our wedding. We scrambled to adjust rentals, catering, floral, favors, seating charts, and the like. When talking to their customer service (which has a great response time) we were connected with an engineer. They mentioned it was a bug that hey had been working on a fix for... but somehow they neglected to alert users??? This seems like pretty pertinent information that people should know about... preferably sooner rather than later...

I was so in love with our website till happened. I'm so disappointed now, and would recommend anyone considering using the site and app steer clear until they've fixed these issues.

Hi Launabear,
I am really sorry that you faced this issue. Thanks for working with us and giving us all the details to help identify the UI issue. We have checked and resolved the UI confusion which resulted in this. We ran the new UI updates with multiple brides now and I am happy to report that this should not be a concern for any other future couple.
best wishes
Vishal
