About

Why Festela exists

Festela was born from two observations. The first: planning a wedding means juggling ten apps (one for invitations, one for RSVPs, one for the website, one for the budget, a spreadsheet to tie it all together). The second: every one of those apps is built for the same wedding, in the same language, with the same default that one person is doing the planning.

We built Festela to fix both. One tool, one payment. A consistent experience for couples and their guests. A checklist seeded from your tradition, not a Western default. Four languages, including Hebrew. Two of you, with identical access, because two people are planning this wedding.

Festela now ships with a native iOS app, so couples can plan on the go — RSVPs, budget, guests and tasks in your pocket.

Our rule: no subscription, no premium tiers, no surprises. $250 per wedding, then we stop selling you. We don't take a registry kickback, we don't resell your guest list to vendors, we don't shuttle you to a magazine's sponsors, we don't add a 'pro' tier the moment you cross some guest count.

If you find something missing, write to us. The roadmap is built from messages we get from couples actually using Festela.
