When Bridebook is the better fit
If you are still searching for a venue or suppliers in the UK, Bridebook's directory, brochures and quotes are its strength. Bridewell doesn't list venues or suppliers.
When Bridewell is the better fit
- Plan together: one wedding shared with your partner, family and planner, with roles section by section.
- A private budget: amounts hidden from anyone you choose, enforced on the server.
- RSVP links per household: guests reply without an account; answers fill in your guest list.
- A seating chart that arranges itself: households stay together, “keep apart” is never broken.
- No vendor marketplace and no ads: the plan is the product.
Bridewell is made in Norway and works for weddings anywhere, with budgets in your own currency.
Moving your plan over
Save your guest list as CSV and import it into Bridewell; add the venue and suppliers you booked under Vendors, with their quotes and payments.
