Weddings

Build the day once. The couple, the vendors and whoever is on the microphone all work from the same timeline — and when the speeches run long, one drag moves everything after them.

The problem
The timeline exists in five versions: the planner's spreadsheet, the DJ's printout, the photographer's shot list, the venue's kitchen sheet and the couple's head. The speeches run twenty minutes long and all five become wrong simultaneously, in different ways.
What NextSet does
One timeline. The planner moves the speeches; the DJ, the photographer, the kitchen and the couple see the new plan on their own phones without a single message being sent.

Building the day

  1. Lay out the moments

    Arrivals, ceremony, photos, entrances, dinner courses, speeches, first dance, cake, last song. Each is a moment with a length; ten minutes is the default and most of them are wrong, which is fine.

  2. Put the gaps in

    Room turnovers, the walk from ceremony to reception, the twenty minutes the photographer wants at golden hour. Days run late in the gaps nobody wrote down.

  3. Invite the vendors

    The DJ, the photographer, the videographer and the venue each get access to the timeline. They see the plan and the live clock; they cannot change your day.

  4. Give the couple the link

    One link. It is the answer to every "what time is..." message you would otherwise be answering the week of.

  5. Run it on the day

    One person drives. Everyone else watches. See Run the clock.

The reception screen

Put a screen in the reception and it shows what is happening and what is next. During dinner it can hold the couple's photos; between moments it can ask the room something.

Your one-tap broadcasts here are SPEECHES IN 5, FIRST DANCE, CAKE CUTTING and LAST SONG.

Guests, without an app

ThingHow guests do it
Send photosScan the code on the table, send from their phone. No account.
Answer something on the screenSame code, same four seconds.
Find the timelineThe same link the couple has, if you choose to share it.

Photos guests send land in the couple's gallery — the hundred candid shots that were never going to reach the photographer.

Planners running more than one

If you plan for a living, every wedding is its own timeline under one account. Build a template for the shape you always run and start each new couple from it rather than from an empty page.

What it costs

Weddings are priced as their own thing rather than bundled into a venue subscription — Plans and what they include has the current numbers, and the pricing page is always the live answer.
