Our top wedding tech tools to help you plan, connect, and share your milestone celebrations!
Planning a wedding is a beautiful, exciting, and (oftentimes) overwhelming experience. From finding reliable vendors, to hiring a caterer, choosing décor, and scouting out the venue of your dreams – there is simply a lot to consider! Luckily for twenty-first-century couples, there are SO many tools and online applications available to help make the wedding planning process less stressful.
Here at Munaluchi, some of the wedding tech we’d like to highlight includes our very own MunaNetwork and Coterie Vendor Database. Both of these tools are grounded in our mission to create a community of inclusivity, love, and empowerment for multicultural couples, Black brides, and vendors of color.

Connecting & sharing…
If you’re looking to make connections and join an online community that is passionate about all things bridal, the MunaNetwork is a great place to start!
Our exclusive network is unique in that it connects multicultural brides, grooms, families, and talented vendors to create an engaging, supportive, and collaborative community. Couples (or even single folks simply craving wedding inspiration!) can easily connect with others to ask questions, share experiences, and find inspiration for their own celebrations.
Request to join here.
Finding vendors…
Whether you are searching for entertainment, catering, wedding attire, or anything else you might need for a wedding – we got you! Our Munaluchi Coterie Database is a creative collective of talented Black-owned businesses and multicultural vendors from around the world. Every coterie applicant is reviewed and verified to ensure each vendor is truly bringing you the best service (because you only deserve the best!). They can’t wait to bring your dream event to life!
Seeking venues near & far…
Deciding where you want to get married is probably one of the first and biggest decisions you’ll have to make. With so many options, it can be a challenge to find the perfect spot. Luckily, Venue Report gives the inside scoop on everything from local to international venues around the world!
Wedding planning tools…
Traditionally, most couples invest in a wedding planner to help guide them through the planning process. However, if you feel like taking on the challenge yourself, Wedding Happy might be your savior! This app is a great tool to help you strategically plan and track each step of the planning process.
The knot is another wedding planning app that gives couples access to a wide-range of vendors, inspiration, and tools to help them plan their special day.
Budgeting guides…
Mint is one of the best free budgeting apps around for most money-management tasks -including planning your wedding! Specifically, their online budget building tool can help keep you on track and avoid over spending.
Seating inspiration…
Making your seating chart and floor plan can be very time consuming and stressful. To decrease the amount of time conceptualizing your space, why not see it in real time? The innovative app, All Seated, gives couples the opportunity to map out their floor plan using digital tools to create a 3D model. Pretty cool, right? Check out how All Seated is changing the wedding planning process here.
DIY inspiration…
Spending tons of money on décor can be daunting. But, if you have time to spare, watching DIY wedding tutorials on B+C Guides is a great way to cut costs and create something that’s uniquely yours.
Transportation ideas…
How you and your guests are going to travel from one spot to another is important. And if you’re splurging on a destination locale, finding cheap airfare is a must.
Consider using the Hopper app to find cheap flight rates. Hopper’s unique future-predicting technology notifies users instantly when there’s a new deal and saves them up to 40% every time they travel.
For more local transportation, consider using Uber Events. By buying subsidized Uber Events vouchers, you can easily move guests from the hotel, to your ceremony venue, and beyond. And the best part, you only pay for what they redeem! Click here to learn more.
Registry ideas…
The wedding planning app, Zola, is a great choice to host your wedding registry (and it’s free!). Zola’s registry “takes the guesswork out of registering” and has tons of perks like free shipping and returns, smart exchanges, and Registry advisors to help you through the process. Click here to start your registry!
Photo sharing…
Created by The Knot, The Guest is an innovative photo sharing compilation app that literally does it all! Essentially, after each guest downloads the app, they will receive a special link to your event. Then, the day of the wedding, every photo taken is compiled into a single free album everyone can access. Long gone are the days of FOMO and wishing you had captured every moment!
Connecting with guests virtually…
In the age of COVID, virtual events and live-streaming has become a popular way to share milestone moments with loved ones near and far. With Web Wed, couples can easily stream their wedding day with anyone who can’t attend (for Covid or otherwise) and keep everyone feeling included!
Thank you notes…
So you’ve completed all of the steps above and finally tied-the-knot (Hurray! Congrats!), but there’s still one step left: saying thank you. To make sure your guests’ feel appreciated, send a sweet message via Postable. It’s simple, eco-friendly, and extremely convenient – they even mail it for you!
