Wedding pricing: Hosting, Encore, and Echo
Understand every wedding price — monthly Hosting, Encore reactivation, 10-Year Echo, 50-Year Echo, and the photo export.
For: Couples
Your wedding page has one job on the day itself and a very different job for the years that follow. NextSet's pricing reflects that — an active monthly subscription while you need all the live tools, and affordable long-term options to keep the memories online long after the confetti is swept up.
The full price list
All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
| Option | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding Hosting | $79 / month | Active subscription — everything live |
| Encore | $99 one-time | Reactivate a dormant page |
| 10-Year Echo | $299 one-time | Keep your page browsable for 10 years |
| 50-Year Echo | $1,499 one-time | Keep your page browsable for 50 years |
| Photo Archive Export | $19 one-time | Download a ZIP of every guest photo |
Wedding Hosting — $79 / month
Hosting is the active subscription that runs your wedding experience. While Hosting is on, you get:
- Your live, shareable wedding page (the link you put on invitations and QR codes)
- The full guest experience: RSVPs, song requests and voting, the photo wall, photo booth frames, and the guest schedule
- The director tools for running the day: the timer, rundown, and projector stack
- Vendor access so your photographer, DJ, and coordinator can see the timeline
Most couples start Hosting a week or two before the wedding and keep it for one to three months after — long enough to enjoy the photo wall and share the link with family. You can cancel any time from your billing settings.
When you cancel, your page doesn't disappear instantly — it enters a dormant state (see below). Your photos and memories stay safe; guests just can't browse the live page until you reactivate it.
Encore — $99 one-time
If you let Hosting lapse and your page goes dormant, Encore brings it back online.
Encore is a one-time $99 charge that reactivates your page for 30 days so you can decide what to do next — download photos, share the link one more time, or pick an Echo tier to keep it live permanently. Once you're back in, you can stay with Hosting month-to-month or move to an Echo for long-term peace of mind.
Echo tiers — long-term memories
After your wedding day is behind you, you probably don't need a full live-events subscription every month. Echo tiers are one-time payments that keep your page browsable for years, without a recurring bill.
10-Year Echo — $299
Pay once and your wedding page stays live for ten years. Guests — and future guests like new family members who want to see what they missed — can still browse the photo wall, read the rundown, and revisit the day. Storage is up to 100 GB of photos.
A good fit if you want a decade of easy access without thinking about it again.
50-Year Echo — $1,499
Pay once and your page stays live for fifty years. Your children, and one day theirs, will still be able to scroll through the night. Same 100 GB photo storage. No renewals, no subscriptions, no surprises.
A good fit if the day matters deeply to you and you want to set it and forget it for a lifetime.
Photo Archive Export — $19 one-time
Want all your guest photos in one place on your own hard drive? The photo export generates a ZIP file containing every photo guests uploaded to your wedding — including the unframed originals from the photo booth — and emails you a download link.
The export runs in the background and usually completes within a few minutes, though larger galleries can take a bit longer. You'll get an email when it's ready with a link that stays active for seven days.
This is a one-time fee, separate from any subscription or Echo tier.
Which option is right for you?
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Planning your wedding soon | Start with Hosting |
| Wedding is over, want to keep the page | Choose 10-Year Echo or 50-Year Echo |
| Let Hosting lapse and can't see your page | Buy Encore first, then pick an Echo |
| Just want the photos downloaded | Buy the Photo Archive Export |
Common problems
My page shows a "dormant" message and guests can't see it. Your Hosting subscription has ended. Buy Encore ($99) to bring it back online. You'll find the reactivation option on your dormant page when you're signed in, or in your account's billing settings.
I'm confused about the difference between Encore and Echo. They do different things. Encore is a short-term reactivation — it wakes up a dormant page for 30 days so you can get back in and decide what to do. Echo is long-term preservation — a one-time payment that keeps your page browsable for 10 or 50 years without any subscription. Use Encore to get back in; use Echo to stay in for the long haul.
Should I get the 10-Year or 50-Year Echo? Both store up to 100 GB of photos and keep everything browsable. The 50-Year Echo is simply a longer commitment for couples who want to set it permanently without ever thinking about renewals again. If you're unsure, the 10-Year is a sensible first choice — you can always upgrade later.
The photo export is taking a long time. That's normal for large galleries. The export runs in the background and you'll receive an email with a download link when it's ready. The link is valid for seven days, so no need to check back immediately.
I paid for Encore but I'm not sure what to do next. Encore gives you 30 days of access. During that window, you can share the link, download photos, or buy a 10-Year or 50-Year Echo to keep the page live permanently. If you do nothing before the 30 days are up, the page goes dormant again and you'd need another Encore to reactivate it.
I want to cancel Hosting — will I lose my photos? No. When you cancel, your photos and data stay safe on NextSet's servers. Your page enters dormant state rather than being deleted. You can reactivate at any time with Encore, or buy an Echo tier to keep it live permanently.
