UK Wedding Planning Tools

Weddings involve a lot of logistics that sit alongside the creative decisions — figuring out where everyone sits, scheduling the day so it flows without running late, and dealing with the administrative tasks that come once you are married. These tools are designed to take the friction out of that practical layer.

The Wedding Table Plan Calculator works out how many tables you need for your guest count, compares round and trestle layouts, and shows the traditional UK top table arrangement. It handles the top table, spare seats, and the tricky "last table" problem where your final table ends up half-empty.

The Wedding Day Timeline Generator builds a personalised schedule from your ceremony time outwards. It accounts for morning prep (including hair and makeup time per person), the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, speeches, and evening party — using typical UK wedding timings for each element. The result is a timeline you can share with your venue, photographer, and suppliers.

The UK Name Change Checklist covers the post-wedding admin of changing your name. The checklist includes all 45 organisations you may need to notify — from your passport and DVLA driving licence to your bank, employer, GP, and pension — with evidence guidance tailored to whether you are using a marriage certificate or a deed poll. All processes follow UK law and government guidance.

The Wedding Dance Floor Size Calculator recommends the right floor dimensions for your guest count in metres or feet, with square and rectangular options. It accounts for the percentage of guests actually dancing at peak time and adjusts for high-energy events like ceilidhs and live bands.

The Wedding Confetti Calculator works out how many litres to order for your guest count, covering dried flower petals, biodegradable paper, and fresh petals. Choose your generosity level and presentation style — individual cones, a shared basket, or a confetti tunnel — and get a total with a 15% spillage buffer and an optional cost estimate.

The Wedding Speech Length Calculator helps speakers check how long their speech will actually run on the day — including time for laughter and pauses — or work out how many words they need for a target duration. It covers all speaker roles (best man, groom, bride, father of the bride, maid of honour, and more) with recommended lengths for each.

The Wedding Playlist Duration Calculator works out how many songs you need for each part of your wedding day — or checks how long your existing playlist will last. Select which phases need music (pre-ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, evening dancing), set the duration for each, and get a per-phase and total song count. Accounts for dead time from announcements and transitions, with an optional 15% buffer to make sure you never run out.
