Guys, to say we’re jealous of your generation would be an understatement to say the least. You have Amazon, Instagram, and, of course, AI. Back in the day, when you planned a wedding, your phone was constantly blowing up with an endless assortment of group chats. There was the “Bridesmaids” chat, the “Family” chat, the “Work Friends” chat…you get it. And you had to text the same answer to all of them. “Where do we park?” “Do you have a wedding registry?” “Am I at the right place? ”. In fact, guest communication is one of the most time-consuming parts of planning a wedding! Sorry, we hate to break it to you, but it’s not all cake tasting and wine pairings. And yes, you would think a wedding website would solve all of these issues, but a website only works if your guests actually read it.
But babe, you’re living in 2026; it’s a brave new world, and you… You don’t have to answer any questions. Why? Because you have Festa!
What is Festa?
Festa is an AI-powered wedding assistant that handles guest communication before, during, and after the wedding, so you can spend less time answering texts and more time enjoying your engagement. Festa can answer just about everything—from dress codes and parking questions to hotel blocks, schedules, registries, and other wedding day logistics.
Yeah, but what else can it do???
Glad you asked… Not only will it automatically reply to any of your guests’ questions, but it will send reminder texts, updates, and important event information, ensuring everyone has the details they need at the right time. Festa will even handle RSVP changes and guest updates!
We asked the team at Festa what the average wedding communication back and forth looks like. They did one better, they gave us some real numbers from a real wedding! At Jenn & Cole’s wedding in Colorado Springs, 39 guests sent Festa 285 messages over the weekend. 54% of the guest list opted in without anyone asking them to. And at 4 a.m. on the wedding day, a guest needed a ride to the ceremony and got one, without waking up the couple. Now that is a worthwhile investment!
What Does It Cost?
We’re sure you’ve noticed by now, but nothing in life is free—especially when you’re planning a wedding, but Festa is about as close as it comes. With a flat fee of $149, Festa is accessible for celebrations of all sizes and just about any budget. And the rate doesn’t change—no matter how many guests you’re hosting. Thirty or three thousand, the price doesn’t move. And you can try it risk-free: if it’s not for you, request a refund within 7 days from your profile page. Plus, it’s proven to improve the guest experience by providing instant answers and timely updates—something that may be a little more difficult for the two of you as the date gets closer and closer.
What The $149 Includes*:
- Unlimited text blasts to your guests
- Unlimited messages between the AI and you and your guests
- Up to 10 different AI coordinators per wedding, so your bridal party, your out-of-town family, and your vendors can each have their own coordinator, briefed differently
*Availability: Right now Festa works over SMS in the US and Canada. iMessage and WhatsApp support for couples outside those two countries is coming later this year.
How To Get Started
Festa is all about using tech to make your life easier. To set up your Festa, all you do is paste in your wedding website URL, Festa crawls it and learns everything about your day, from addresses and registry info to the timeline. Once you add your guests, they can text the AI. That’s it! Yeah, it’s really that simple.
