About VowPetal

VowPetal is an AI wedding planner couples talk to like a friend. It finds real, source-cited vendors, builds the checklist and budget as you chat, and offers free speech, vow, budget and checklist tools with no signup.

The idea

VowPetal started from a simple observation: wedding planning had collapsed into forty browser tabs, a strained spreadsheet and a group chat, while the tools of the moment had finally made a planner that actually listens possible. Most wedding software hands couples empty checklists and a vendor advertising marketplace. VowPetal treats planning as one ongoing conversation. Couples describe their day to VowPetal and the plan builds as they talk: a month-by-month checklist tuned to the date, a live budget that tracks real quotes, a vendor shortlist with sources, all saved on a Wedding Board that remembers everything between sessions.

VowPetal brings wedding planning into one conversation, with the couple at the center.

The rules we build by

The strictest decision came first. AI products are notorious for making things up, so VowPetal is only allowed to present vendors it really found, with sources attached. The rest of the rules follow the same instinct:

• Only tool-returned vendors are ever presented, always with sources. No invented names.
• When a fact cannot be verified (a price, an availability), VowPetal says so instead of guessing.
• No sponsored placements anywhere: rankings are merit and fit, never who pays.
• Names and dates on invitations and film end-cards are always real typography, never image-model text.
• Free means free: the on-page tools give a real result with no account, and the first conversation needs no signup.
• No fake reviews, no invented statistics, no discount codes. Everyone pays the listed price.

  Five AI chatbots and VowPetal's own planning assistant, 5 US cities, 150 scored venues: 0 invented, 94 of 139 capacity claims matched the venue, and only 24 of 128 starting prices were the venue's own lowest published price.
