### 5/5 — Be your own wedding planner!

*2026-08-24, version 44.3.0*

Zola made it so easy for me to plan my own wedding and stay organized. I hosted a two event wedding with totally different needs and guest lists and was able to stay organized and on track during my wedding planning process

### 2/5 — Do NOT use their registry

*2026-08-23, version 44.3.0*

Zolas website is fine and RSVP, guest list tracker, etc are all good but oh my gosh DO NOT use their registry. Infuriating and it is NOT user friendly for guests. I’m so dissatisfied with it and sad that i didn’t realize sooner.

### 5/5 — Zola Wedding Planning

*2026-08-21, version 44.3.0*

Zola has been really helpful for registry, website, and seating chart. I do work the registry paired better some items on amazon have never appeared on Zola.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 44.2.0*

The app is easy to use and convenient for when I don’t want to use my laptop. Minimal to no glitches.

### 1/5 — Seating Chart

*2026-08-18, version 44.2.0*

Could only seat 15 guests on the seating chart. Was the only real benefit of the app vs the website and they make you pay to seat more than 15 guests. Was not advertised as such.

### 1/5 — Missing addresses

*2026-08-12, version 44.1.5*

They only printed addresses for about 30% of my guests and the rest are blank so we have to hand write them and have them look terrible.

### 1/5 — Regret

*2026-08-11, version 44.1.5*

Zola made us wait for the funds to process in the cash fund then another ten days for it to become available. Don't use Zola

### 1/5 — Not Ideal

*2026-08-11, version 44.1.5*

Much better products exist that do not push political beliefs on you, would recommend those.

### 3/5 — Not very user friendly!

*2026-08-04, version 44.1.4*

It’s frustrating to get the guests invites sent.
I don’t like minimum registry requirement and you can’t just have your own cash fund. 
Just wish it was easier to navigate. The other frustrating thing is you have to have an apple to have the app
But it’s nice to have everything in one place

### 1/5 — Premium just to use seating chart?

*2026-08-03, version 44.1.4*

Pay to add use the seating chart feature? Are you kidding? Just use a pen and paper, don’t waste your time or money.
