Wedmin is Here: The Free Wedding Planning App That Does It All
By Lauren Batten · Lauren Batten Events
If you've recently got engaged, congratulations. This is one of the most exciting seasons of your life. But if you've already started trying to figure out how on earth you're going to plan a wedding, you'll know that the excitement can very quickly be followed by a feeling of complete and utter overwhelm.
Where do you even start? How do you track your budget, manage your guest list, find suppliers you can actually trust, build a timeline, coordinate RSVPs, and still somehow enjoy being engaged, all at the same time?
The honest answer is: right now, most couples are doing it across a messy combination of spreadsheets, notes apps, email threads, and Instagram saves. And it's exhausting.
That's exactly why I built Wedmin, a free wedding planning platform designed to hold every single part of your wedding in one place, from the moment you get engaged to the moment you walk down the aisle.
What is Wedmin?
Wedmin is a comprehensive online wedding planning platform built by a professional wedding planner. That planner is me, Lauren Batten of Lauren Batten Events. After planning such a variety of weddings, I know exactly what couples need, what they forget, what stresses them out, and what makes the difference between a chaotic day and a seamless one.
Wedmin brings all of that knowledge into one free, easy-to-use platform. With 22 features covering every element of wedding planning from start to finish, it's the closest thing to having a professional wedding planner in your back pocket, without the price tag.
"The couples who feel most calm on the day aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones who felt in control of the process. That's what Wedmin gives you."
22 Features. One Platform. Completely Free.
Most wedding planning tools give you one or two features and call it a day. Wedmin is different. Here's everything that's included when you join, at no cost:

A Curated Supplier Directory: Every Name Personally Vetted by Me
Finding the right wedding suppliers is one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding. There are thousands of photographers, florists, celebrants, and venues out there, and very little way of knowing, as a couple, who is truly excellent and who isn't.
The Wedmin supplier directory solves that. Every supplier and venue listed in the app has been personally chosen and vetted by me. Not because they paid to be there. Not because they ranked well on Google. Because I have worked in this industry long enough to know the difference between a supplier who shows up and delivers, and one who doesn't.
Inside Wedmin, you can browse by category, compare options side by side, and contact suppliers directly, all without leaving the platform. No more toggling between twenty browser tabs.
The "Featured on Wedmin" Badge: What It Means for Couples
Many of the suppliers in the Wedmin directory are now displaying a Featured on Wedmin badge on their websites and social media profiles. If you're browsing suppliers online and you spot that badge, here's what it means:
That business has been reviewed and personally recommended by a professional wedding planner with over 80 weddings of experience. They are part of a curated, quality-checked directory and not a paid listing service. It's a shortcut to confidence when you're comparing your options, and a signal that this supplier takes their reputation seriously.
Keep an eye out for the Featured on Wedmin badge when you're researching photographers, florists, venues, celebrants, and more. It's one of the quickest ways to narrow your search to suppliers you can genuinely trust.
Why I Built Wedmin
After years of working as a professional wedding planner, I kept seeing the same thing happen. Couples would come to me mid-planning, stressed, disorganised, and feeling like they were already behind. Not because they weren't capable, but because the tools available to them just weren't good enough.
The spreadsheets felt cold. The generic apps missed half the things that actually matter. And hiring a full-service planner isn't an option for every budget.
I wanted to build something that gave every couple access to the kind of structure, clarity, and confidence that professional planning provides, without needing to hire someone like me to get it. Something built by a planner, for couples.
Wedmin is that thing. And I'm incredibly proud of it.
