NextSet for wedding planners

If you plan weddings for other people, NextSet has a B2B planner subscription designed for you. One monthly plan covers every couple you bring on — they never see a bill, and you run everything from a single dashboard.

How the planner model works

When you subscribe as a planner, NextSet creates weddings under your account instead of the couple's. You do the setup — intake wizard, rundown, guest page — and hand the couple a link. They log in as guests on their own wedding page and interact with it; you keep control of the settings and dashboard.

Your subscription caps how many weddings can be active at the same time. A wedding counts as active while the guest page is live and reachable. Once a wedding date has passed and the subscription expires (or you let it go dormant), it no longer counts against your cap and a new wedding can take its place.

Planner plans

All prices are in CAD. There are three tiers:

Solo Planner is for planners running their business on their own. Three active weddings is plenty for a full calendar when you're booking events a few months out — past-date weddings free up slots automatically once they go dormant.

Studio suits boutique firms with a small team of two to five planners. Ten concurrent active weddings covers a busy season without juggling manual cleanup between bookings.

Agency is for multi-city operations handling volume. Fifty active weddings at once, with the same full NextSet stack on every event.

Every tier includes the same set of features for every wedding you host: the guest microsite, the interactive rundown, RSVP, song requests and voting, the photo wall and photo booth frames, vendor invites, and the full day-of show controls.

The planner dashboard

After you subscribe, your dashboard is at /dashboard/planner. It shows:

• Your active / cap count — e.g. "3 / 10 active" so you always know where you stand against your tier limit.
• Your renewal date — when your subscription renews for the next month.
• All your weddings — listed newest first, each tagged as Live, Dormant, or Setup so you can see at a glance which ones are currently running.

Clicking any wedding in the list takes you to that event's management page, where you can edit the rundown, moderate song requests, manage RSVPs, and run the day.

To create a new wedding, click Create your first wedding (if you have none yet) or go directly to /onboarding/wedding. The five-step intake wizard walks you through the couple's names, wedding date, vision, style, and a generated day-plan — the same experience couples get, but under your account.

Common problems

You've hit your active-wedding cap. The dashboard will show a notice when you've reached the maximum active weddings for your tier. You have two options: let a past-date wedding go dormant naturally (its guest page will show a dormant placeholder until reactivated), or upgrade to the next plan. You can manage your subscription from the billing portal — look for the subscription or billing settings in your account area.

A couple's guest page shows "dormant" after their wedding. Once a wedding's hosting subscription lapses, the guest page shows a dormant placeholder rather than a 404 — it won't break anyone's bookmarked link. If the couple wants their page live again (for the anniversary, for guests to revisit photos), you or they can purchase an Encore ($99) to reactivate it for 30 days, or choose a longer-term Echo option for permanent archiving.

Your subscription was cancelled and some weddings went dormant. If your planner subscription lapses, active weddings that were relying on it may switch to dormant. Resubscribing restores your cap, and any weddings still within their paid period resume automatically. Weddings that have gone dormant will need an Encore or Echo purchase to go live again individually.

Couples can see the wedding management tools. By design, the couple logs in to their wedding as guests — they see the guest-facing experience, not your planner dashboard. If a couple needs to edit their own rundown or settings, you can share your screen during a planning call, or invite them as a vendor with the vendor invite flow so they can update their timeline items.
