Yesterday on ‘Dot Complicated with Randi Zuckerberg,’ guests Naa-Sakle Akuete, who nailed her dream wedding by spending only $10,000, and Carolyn Gerin, the co-founder of the WedTech Summit, an annual wedding and technology conference, both gave listeners their Top 5 Favorite Apps to plan a wedding. With the national average for a wedding in the US at $31,000, maybe these apps can help you keep your day under budget!

NAA-SAKLE AKUETE’S TOP 5 WEDDING APPS:

1) Airbnb— “We were looking for locations but they wanted $15,000. So the first thing we did was go to Airbnb. You can use the app to find places that cater to events and bring your own food to.”

     2) TaskRabbit—“TaskRabbit is essentially the Craigslist of services. We set up tasks for photographers for only a few hundred dollars.”

  3) Instacart— “I didn’t hear about Instacart until a month before our wedding. It revolutionized our wedding.”

   4) Spotify— “We used Spotify for music. Anytime we heard a song that would make us dance we’d add it to the playlist.”

    5) Amazon— “Our registry was on Amazon and most of our friends have Prime so it was pretty easy. Plus they have student pricing.”

CAROLYN GERIN’S TOP 5 WEDDING APPS:

  1) Honeybook

“Platforms like Honeybook and AislePlanner take the brutality out of event planning.”

2) AislePlanner

  3) Wix—“Wix saves the engaged couple from asking a bunch of questions like where’s the wedding, the registry.”

4) Pinterest— “‪Pinterest helps create new wedding trends in realtime.”

   5) ZenPayroll— “The most efficient way to get people paid is ZenPayroll. It’s one of my favorite apps out there.”
