Plan Your Entire Wedding With Claude ⚡
One Claude project. Five built-in workflows. Your timeline, your budget, your vendor outreach, your inbox tracking, and your branding, all running from one.
Why I built this
A full-service wedding planner averages $3,800 according to The Knot's 2026 Real Weddings Study, and that is before any premium-market markup. The actual job of a planner is mostly organization. Tracking deadlines, chasing vendors, sending reminders, and keeping the budget honest. That part is what Claude is now genuinely good at.
I planned a huge chunk of my own wedding using AI last year. Claude has gotten dramatically more powerful since. If I were planning today, this is exactly the setup I would build.
Open Claude desktop or web. Click the + next to Projects in the sidebar. Name it "Wedding HQ." Drop in three things: your wedding date, your guest count, and your total budget. That is the brain it works from.
Inside the project, hit Connectors. Turn on Google Calendar (timeline syncs), Gmail (vendor email tracking), and Google Drive (contracts, vendor PDFs, and an inspo folder for your Pinterest screenshots and saved images). Setup time: about two minutes per connector.
Each one is a standalone prompt. Save them inside the project as Skills (Cowork → Customize → Skills → Create New) so you can trigger them with a slash command anytime.
The 12-month timeline builder
Drop your wedding date in once. Claude builds the full timeline: book photographer at 12 months out, send save-the-dates at 6 months, finalize the menu at 8 weeks, write your vows at 3 weeks. Every deadline syncs to your calendar with a reminder one week before.
The live budget tracker
Every Sunday, Claude scans your Gmail for vendor confirmations, invoices, and deposits, and updates your budget tracker automatically. You always know exactly what you spent and what is left, without ever opening a spreadsheet.
The vendor researcher and outreach drafter
Tell Claude what you want (photographer, florist, caterer), your style, and your budget. It finds your top five options in your area, summarizes each one, and drafts the first outreach email you can send straight from Gmail.
The vendor inbox tracker
No more digging through your inbox at midnight wondering if you paid the deposit. Claude pulls every email from every vendor into one dashboard with the status of each: contract signed, deposit paid, balance due, next action required.
The branding designer
Save-the-dates, invitations, menus, signs, programs, even your full wedding website. Built from the inspo you paste into Claude, in your color palette, in your style. You approve, Claude exports print-ready files to Drive.
In outbound marketing and career positioning, generic applications have near-zero conversion. Treat yourself as a high-ticket solution: identify the company's pressing operational pain points, build a mini-audit or work sample using AI before you apply, and bypass crowded channels by reaching out directly to the decision-maker with structured value.
