‘I used Joy as my free wedding website and it was a lifesaver that made planning a breeze’
Wedding websites are an excellent way to keep your wedding plans organised and keep your guests in the loop. While wedding planner books are a lovely way to jot down ideas and a popular choice among couples, a wedding website is a great tool as it can be updated digitally, quickly informing the wedding party of any changes.
There are loads of wedding websites to pick from, but as I have written wedding content for years, there is one site that has consistently stood out from the crowd when asking couples what tools made their wedding planning journey easiest. It has even been used by members of the Mirror, including fashion and beauty writer Eve Rowlands. After getting recommendations from friends, she was pointed towards Joy and their free wedding website.
The ‘all-in-one lifesaver for brides and grooms to be’, you can create your personalised wedding website, making the whole process feel less overwhelming. If you’re not a tech whizz there’s no need to worry as Joy is much simpler to set up than you might think, offering pre-designed templates. You don’t need heaps of spare time to use this platform as we know the last thing you want to be doing is spending valuable cake-tasting time trying to figure out how to actually create your wedding website.

Whether you want to go all-out with the design, or you just want something quick and easy to get the hang of, there are hundreds of different layouts, fonts, colours and artwork to choose from. Joy’s wedding website service is really raising the bar, offering a myriad of features that are accessible without any cost, unless you’re after a bespoke domain name. The nifty site pages allow couples to share their love story, event itinerary, travel details, and even host a Q&A for guests, streamlining vital information to save repeating yourself.
Plus, Joy doesn’t stop there; it includes wedding party reveals, its very own app, and a photo upload hub for all those candid guest snaps. Eve couldn’t help but rave about Joy, highlighting: “Joy was a dream to use and not only helped me find some suppliers and inspiration for the big day but was a platform to host a wedding website, that can be personal to you and your partner, for free, to give your guests all the details required.
From travel to accommodation, on day timeline, details of the venue and registry (if that’s your sort of thing) the website – which can be designed by you, let your creative juices flow – also helps you monitor your guestlist and is easy for them to input their attendance and food options.”
It can also send out email e-vites to tick one less thing off your list. Alongside with the personalised wedding website, Joy gives you a countdown to the big day to get you excited whenever you log on. It’s all private too and your guests will have a special password to get into your website to be privy to the wedding plans. All in all, With Joy was a wedding day lifesaver and helped make planning a breeze.”
The online platform Joy takes the hassle out of sending invites by offering handy email e-vites, ticking one more task off your list. It creates a personalised wedding website for you, complete with a fun countdown to ramp up the excitement every time you check-in. What’s more, privacy is key; your guests need a special password to sneak a peek at your big day details, making Joy the ultimate digital wedding planner.
Some couples, however, havent found their match made in heaven with Joy, citing ‘frustration’ due to ‘slow loading speeds’ and difficulties with its app usage. One user advised: “I’d definitely use a laptop to set up the site through the website the app is a bit more restrictive.”
You can create a free wedding website with Joy here. And if you’re feeling tech-savvy, why not explore other platforms like Weebly. It’s not wedding-specific but offers customisable options for those with a bit more website-building experience.
