Share the plans, help everyone connect and collect the memories together. From weddings and milestone birthdays to reunions and group getaways, circa keeps everyone connected before, during and long after the celebration. ALL THE PLANS, IN ONE PLACE Give everyone an itinerary they can carry with them, with event times, locations and the details they need. Hosts can update plans as they evolve. Guests can see what’s happening in the destination’s local time and add events to their own calendars. SEE WHO’S COMING Help your guests get to know each other before the celebration begins. Explore guest profiles, put names to faces and see how everyone knows the hosts. Start a conversation with individual and group messaging, so the first hello feels a little more familiar. KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED Share announcements with the whole gathering, from welcome messages to last-minute changes. Guests have one place to check the latest information, and hosts have fewer people to chase. MAKE PLANS TOGETHER Leave room for the spontaneous parts of being away together. Anyone can create an open invite for a morning walk, an afternoon swim or drinks between events. Share updates in the Common Room and keep the conversation going. BUILD THE SOUNDTRACK TOGETHER Invite everyone to contribute songs, from requests for the DJ to favourites for a shared playlist. Save the soundtrack of your gathering and let the music take you back, long after everyone’s home. GET READY FOR THE JOURNEY Count down to the celebration, check the forecast and explore information about the destination. Guests can share their travel details so hosts know who’s arriving and when. ASK CIRCA Find answers about your gathering, from what time dinner starts to where the ceremony is being held. Ask circa keeps the details close at hand, giving hosts more time to enjoy being there. EVERYONE’S PHOTOS. ONE SHARED ALBUM. Bring everyone’s photos and short videos together in a private album guests and hosts can add to. See the moments you missed and revisit the celebration after everyone heads home. SIMPLE TO HOST. EASY TO JOIN.
