I got engaged, hated every wedding-planning app, so I built my own with flutter. Roast it.
I got engaged last year! And naturally I went to tech to figure out how to organize the chaos leading up to the wedding.
Everything I tried either wanted a monthly subscription for a thing that happens once, suffocated me with vendor ads, or had a seating chart so bad I actually enjoyed making a diagram with ink again. So instead of planning for the wedding, I went into making an app to plan my wedding — you know, logic.
It’s called Vows HQ — a shared workspace for all the wedding madness
✅ Tasks & budget
👥 Guest list + RSVPs
🪑 Drag-and-drop seating chart (even 3D rendering!)
⏱️ Day-of timeline
💌 A public wedding website with RSVP built in — so you’re not funneling everyone through The Knot
There’s also a cute little AI advisor called “Lovebird” (I know, original) that looks at where you’re at and tells you what to actually do next. It’ll even draft your vendor emails — because typing “hi, do you have our date available?” for the 40th time made me want to lie down.
The nerdy bit: I’m not a real developer, I do this after work after seeing my patients. It’s Flutter web + Firebase, with the Claude API running the advisor and the email drafting. The seating chart nearly broke me — it’s one shared doc two people can drag tables around in at the same time, and getting their edits to merge instead of stomp on each other took embarrassingly long. There’s also a little 3D walkthrough of the reception room that’s completely unnecessary and my favorite part — you get to jump around on the tables 😏**.**
What I’d love from you: tear it apart. Especially the onboarding and the website builder — tell me where you got confused, bored, or where it felt like too much.
It’s live at vowshq.com if you want to poke at it.
🎁 First 100 couples get everything free forever — no card, no subscription. My little gift to the world, since weddings somehow get more insane (and expensive) every year.
Happy to answer whatever about how it’s built!
