The wedding day

On the day, The Veil keeps everyone working from the same schedule: you, your helpers, your vendors and your guests.

Who runs it

• Your venue or planner, if you booked them on The Veil. Their coordinator runs the day from their side: they start each moment on your timeline, push the schedule back if things run late, mark vendors as they arrive, check guests in and post updates.
• Your own Day-of Coordinator (Plus), a friend or an outside coordinator you appoint. See Your day-of coordinator.
• You and your partner, who can do all of it too.

Your guests hear about changes

• When the schedule moves on the day (you, your partner or your coordinator edits the timeline while day-of mode is on), guests who use the app get a notification like "Schedule update". You choose each time with Tell guests about this change; your coordinator's changes always go out. You'll see Guests notified with how many were told.
• When your venue's or planner's coordinator posts an update ("The ceremony moves inside") or pushes the schedule back, it goes to guests with the app as a notification, and to guests without the app by email, linking their own invitation page.
• Every guest's invitation page shows Today: what's happening now, the latest updates, and the schedule with any moved times. See On the wedding day.

Updates to guests are limited to around your wedding and to a handful a day, so a mistaken tap can't email everyone months early.

Your vendors hear too

Booked vendors see the live schedule, and are notified about updates and moved times on their side, in the portal and The Veil Vendors app.

Your guests' photos

From two hours before your first event, guests can add photos to your gallery from their invitation page. See Photos from your guests.

Afterwards

• What happened on the day, under Global Settings, lists any issues your coordinator flagged.
• Deliveries from vendors, like your gallery, appear on their card under Budget, Vendors, in After the wedding.
• You'll be asked to review the vendors you booked. See Review your vendors.
