Workflow
One app for the planning data that must be correct.
Keep guests, households, RSVP, venue measurements, seating rules, QR passes, and closeout decisions in one place.
Resolve RSVP and seating
Use RSVP states, household groups, table capacity, hard conflicts, soft seating tradeoffs, and editable table rules.
Sketch the venue
Import a venue-provided PDF or image, calibrate scale in feet or meters, and place measured tables, stages, dance floors, and restricted zones.
Run venue operations
Generate QR passes, hand off a check-in-only packet to nearby staff devices, merge returns, then archive, purge, or delete local event data.
Venue map sketch
Use the map the venue sends.
Import a venue-provided PDF or image as a rough sketch guide, calibrate it to real units, and place measured tables and areas before seating work starts.
- Use PDF or image floor plans from Files.
- Calibrate map scale in feet or meters.
- Place measured tables, entrances, stages, dance floors, and restricted areas.
- Use sketch restricted areas as hard seating rules.
- Keep imported maps local as protected sidecar files.
Seating
Seating that respects the sketch.
Seat groups to tables and review hard violations, soft tradeoffs, table balance, relationship labels, table rules, and venue-sketch restrictions.
- Group households, families, and plus-one slots.
- Set table capacities and special table roles.
- Mark relationship preferences such as must separate or prefer together.
- Apply restricted venue areas when a sketch exists.
- Run the same seating flow without venue data when no map is available.
- Edit table names, roles, and seat counts after review.
Planning tools
Built for the messy middle of wedding planning.
Wendus keeps spreadsheet import, manual edits, venue constraints, and privacy controls close together so the plan can keep changing without losing the source of truth.
Guest import plus manual entry
Bring in a master CSV or add guests by hand with the same optional RSVP, meal, accessibility, WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, phone, and email fields.
Venue-aware seating
When a sketch exists, restricted zones are used as hard seating rules. Without a venue map, seating still uses guests, tables, capacity, relationships, and table rules.
Check-in-only handoff
Premium venue tools can send encrypted nearby packets for door staff. Return packets merge check-in records only.
Privacy
Share only what vendors need.
Preview each export before creating a local CSV for caterers, venue staff, door staff, or transport.
Local by default
Event data is stored on the device by default. The app has no guest accounts, vendor accounts, ads, or live sync.
Purpose-limited exports
Vendor previews show recipient, purpose, included fields, excluded fields, row count, and sensitive-field warnings.
Post-event closeout
Archive, purge sensitive fields, keep counts, or delete local event data.

FAQ
Questions
Does Wendus require an account?
No. You can open Wendus and start without sign-in.
Does a QR code contain guest details?
No. QR passes use opaque tokens.
Can I still use spreadsheets?
Yes. Wendus can create a master guest CSV and import a selected guest CSV for spreadsheet editing. Guest contact fields include optional phone, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS values.
Can Wendus use a venue floor plan?
Yes. With premium access, Wendus can import a venue-provided PDF or image, use it as a rough sketch guide, calibrate the map scale, and place measured tables and zones.
Does seating require a venue map?
No. Seating works from guests, tables, relationship preferences, and table rules. If a venue sketch exists, Wendus can also apply restricted sketch areas as hard seating rules.

No. The local 3-day premium planning trial requires no payment and does not automatically charge.
Is Wendus a wedding website or registry?
