What couples & planners are saying

Real feedback from real weddings

We heard overwhelmingly positive things from guests. Everybody knew where to be at what time, and we didn't have any hiccups. One guest remarked that she had been to another wedding the prior weekend which was extremely disorganized, and that if they had the texting service we were using, all their issues would have been ironed out.

Guests said it was a game changer for communication! They felt the wedding was very organized, and especially appreciated the clear instructions. The messages were easy to read and they could forward them to other guests.

Why I Built This

A letter from our founder

“Your guests deserve clarity, care, and little moments of magic. We deliver all three.”

On my wedding day, I learned the hardest lesson about hosting: love isn't enough.

I created a group chat for my 50 guests. When I posted a poll about brunch, only 6 people responded. I felt devastated. The truth? They felt awkward responding in a chat full of strangers.

Then everything unraveled. A couple missed their flight. Some guests missed the ceremony because they never checked our website. I had to take calls with my planner during my makeup session to fix last-minute chaos.

Worst of all? I was so exhausted after the wedding that I never sent proper thank-you messages. Months later, I still felt like a terrible host.

That's when I realized: good intentions aren't enough. Every couple deserves to feel like a gracious host.

After years in hospitality management, I know seamless guest experiences are an art form. I built Dearest Guest so your guests feel genuinely cherished — and you stay present for every moment that matters.
