I found this website and app and I’m just so glad I did. It was so easy to use and helped with my guest wedding planning immensely. I love that I can use digital correspondence along with my traditional paper invites. We used the private online RSVP and had zero issues. Plus I love that all my guests can use the app for the schedule as well as post pics and communicate with us! Plus when I had questions about how to find a specific item on the app the support was quick and very thorough. I have recommended this to all my friends who are getting married and on a bridal group I’m a part of. I love that it’s super easy to use. It doesn’t have a lot of clutter. The only downside is that it doesn’t have a lot of planning tools like budget and checklists BUT I also didn’t personally need those and they often have useless suggestions. It would also be cool if there was a non-wedding version too for other large events like family reunions, family vacations, birthdays, etc. TL;DR - Perfect for planning my small, non-traditional, destination wedding. Perfect for guest use. Highly recommend.

I found joy after a long search for the best website for my daughter and fiancé. I had almost committed to one when I read a google post (can’t remember which one) on top wedding websites and Joy was at the top of the list. I was intrigued because they had not appeared in my previous searches but I was curious because of the comments about it being FREE (for now) yet with most of the features of other paid websites, so I decided to give it a test run before sharing it with the bride. After viewing the delightful demo, it literally took me about 10 minutes or less to set up the initial website. I love the unique, uncomplicated contemporary template (and they just launched a new more classic template), it’s fun and yet elegant; everything that you need is in one place. There’s no exiting of the app to go somewhere else to RSVP. It looks like all the bugs earlier reviewers spoke about the RSVP have been resolved because we’ve had no problems with that so far. It was SUPER easy to upload a spreadsheet template with guest names and just as easy to export. The entire website can be managed through the app so there’s no need to login to a desktop to make changes. The guest interface is also very user friendly and doesn’t require guests to download the app (only if they want to and they will want to). Another awesome feature is the ability to send online save the dates, invitations, follow up emails, etc. and there are really nice templates. It’s easy to send an email to all guests or just a few or just one. It really is a one stop shop for all your wedding needs, including the registry. And as many others have said, their customer service is top notch—very personal touch and quick response rate. I gave 4 stars because there a few features that I could have had and I’ve suggested it to them so it’s on the list of future enhancements. This is a young site that is going places.

This is a great way to share the photos that your guests take at your event. I don’t know when I will get to see the photos that the photo crew took at the wedding, but I’m seeing loads of candid shots taken by wedding guests! This is fantastic! Joy also made it easy to keep guests informed, provide access to a gift registry, provide guest a way to rsvp, provide notice of food allergies, share the background of the reason for the event - in this case a wedding - and gets attendees involved in sharing the experience. I had people contact me to ask about event details because they misplaced their event invitation. I simply sent them the link to this event on Joy so they could sign in and find the information they were looking for. This is a great organizing tool - keeping all the information in one place. And the pictures! Love that everyone is sharing the photos they took!!

I was really excited to use a site and app that wasn't wedding wire or the knot. I really liked the design and the UI seemed pretty straightforward. Everything was great. Until we started getting our RSVP's... which is a pretty important part of the process. This part unfortunately got convoluted, and the UI seemed to get less and less friendly. The biggest heartbreak was that 6 guests who had, without a doubt, previously RSVP'd "yes," had inexplicably disappeared without warning. This threw off our numbers, and by the time we realized what had happened, we were a week away from our wedding. We scrambled to adjust rentals, catering, floral, favors, seating charts, and the like. When talking to their customer service (which has a great response time) we were connected with an engineer. They mentioned it was a bug that hey had been working on a fix for... but somehow they neglected to alert users??? This seems like pretty pertinent information that people should know about... preferably sooner rather than later... I was so in love with our website till happened. I'm so disappointed now, and would recommend anyone considering using the site and app steer clear until they've fixed these issues.
