Processional turns your wedding ceremony from a vague plan into a clear, visual experience. Design your venue, choreograph every step, and watch it all come to life with an animated simulation — before you ever set foot in the rehearsal. DESIGN YOUR VENUE Start with a church, garden, ballroom, beach, or fully custom layout. Drag and drop pews, chairs, archways, pillars, and markers to match your real ceremony space. Dimensions use real-world measurements so timing is accurate. BUILD YOUR WEDDING PARTY Add every participant — from the officiant to the flower girl. Choose from 18 built-in roles or create custom ones. Assign photos, colors, and starting positions on your venue map. Supports traditional, two brides, two grooms, and non-gendered ceremonies. CHOREOGRAPH THE TIMELINE Create ceremony events and assign movements to each person. Set walking paths with waypoints, choose pace (slow processional, normal, quick), and sync pairs to walk together. Add music cues with one-tap links to Spotify and Apple Music. WATCH IT COME TO LIFE Hit play and watch the entire ceremony unfold in a real-time 2D animation. Scrub the timeline, adjust playback speed, zoom in, or follow a specific participant. See exactly how the timing works before your rehearsal. SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM Export a shareable video of your simulation or generate a printable PDF guide with the complete timeline and movement details. Hand it to your DJ, coordinator, officiant, or wedding party. EXPLORE BEFORE YOU CREATE Browse built-in sample weddings — a traditional church ceremony, an outdoor garden wedding, and a casual beach ceremony — to see how everything works before building your own. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Your plans sync automatically via iCloud. Start planning on your iPhone, refine on your iPad.
