Why it works

Built for the months before the day.

  • Three editions, one price

    Use the App on your laptop and phone, keep the Google Sheet in your Drive, or open the Excel file. All three come with every purchase.

  • A vendor board you can drag

    Researching, Contacted, Booked, Paid in full. Drag a vendor to its new status or tap the next-step button on the card. Every move can be undone.

  • No missed deposits

    Late and due-soon payments are flagged, and one calendar file puts every payment date in your own calendar, with reminders a week before and the day before.

  • Know where the money goes

    See what you have committed against your estimate for each category, what is paid, what is left to pay and the cost per guest.

  • A checklist that knows the date

    Common tasks are grouped by how long before the wedding they are usually done. The group you are in now is marked, so you see what is next and what to catch up on.

  • Your plans stay private

    The App keeps your data in your own browser, never on our servers. Back it up in one click and restore it on any device.

A few good answers

Questions, answered.

Delivery, devices, updates and your data. Still curious? We reply to every email.

Ask us a question
How do I get my files?

Right after checkout we email you a Darzen username and password. Sign in to your Darzen account to download the App and the Excel files, and to make your own copy of the Google Sheets edition.

Which edition should I use?

All three come with every purchase, so you do not have to choose. The App feels like software and works offline, Google Sheets lives in your Google account, and Excel is a file you keep.

Which version of Excel do I need?

Excel 2010 or later on Windows and Mac, or Excel for the web. The workbook has no macros.

Does the App need the internet?

Only once, to sign in with the login we email you. After that it opens from the file on your device and works offline.

Where is my data kept?

In the browser on your own device, never on our servers. Save a backup file in one click and restore it on any device or browser.

Can it remind me when a payment is due?

Yes. Export one calendar file and every unpaid payment, plus the wedding day, goes into the calendar you already use, with reminders a week before and the day before. In the spreadsheets, late and due-soon payments are highlighted.

Can my partner and I plan together?

Yes, with the Google Sheets edition: share your copy from Google Drive and you both edit the same sheet. The App keeps its data in one browser, so it suits one person keeping the plan, with backup files to move it between devices.

Does it work on my phone?

The App works in your phone's browser and the Google Sheets edition works in the Sheets app. Sign in on up to two devices.

How do updates work?

Updates are free. When a new version is ready, it appears in your Darzen account and the App tells you.

Can I get a refund?

See our refund policy, linked next to the price. Try the live demo first so you know exactly what you are getting.
