It is with great sadness that the iVOW Wedding Planner App team and I Gemma King have to announce that we will no longer be running the business and it is up for sale with the intention of closing the business in the next month.

After Covid hit the wedding industry, we continued to develop the app for when things got back to normal, unfortunately 'normal' took a little longer than we expected. When weddings started up again it clashed with the birth of my daughter, which meant I wasn't able to invest all my time into regrowing the business as I once would have.

The business, mobile app and website along with the existing active database of over 1k engaged couples still using the app this year and onwards is up for sale.
If you wish to find out more please DM me or email [email protected]

All engaged couples using the app currently, please don't worry you will be contacted shortly regarding saving your wedding plans, the app is still live.

It has been a genuine pleasure working with you all and thank you for your business and most importantly your friendship over the years!

𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: Get it in writing!
A paper trail couldn't be more important!

With many weddings learning the hard way throughout Covid, ensure you REVIEW your existing contract with venues and suppliers to ensure you are not paying for things you don't have too.
Ensure NEW contracts reflect the agreement in your old contract unless stated otherwise.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤:
💍Numbers (Makes sure the number of guests is correct)
💍Inclusions (What is included for the price?)
💍Deposits (Will further deposits be needed?)
💍Times (If you are booking a specific time, is this still possible?)
💍Final Price (Are there any price increases for the date change?)
