Weddings are meant to be a joyous occasion, but for many couples, the stress of planning can quickly turn the celebration into a headache. That’s where artificial intelligence is stepping in to save the day – and the budget.
Take Maria Cortese, a bride-to-be who was shocked to receive a $5,000 quote from a New York wedding planner. Faced with staying within her $34,000 budget, Cortese turned to the power of AI and enlisted ChatGPT as her wedding planner.
I’m using ChatGPT to literally do everything for my wedding, Cortese shared. This decision reflects a growing trend among engaged couples, with a Zola survey revealing that 52% are now turning to automation for wedding planning tasks.
The convenience and efficiency of AI tools like ChatGPT are proving to be a game-changer in the wedding industry. Allison Cullman from Zola explains that generative AI can streamline tasks, assist in budget management, and help vendors create detailed schedules.
One Zola innovation, Split the Decisions, allows couples to divide wedding planning tasks based on their strengths and interests. For a $20 monthly subscription fee, ChatGPT+ can recommend projects for partners to tackle together, like creating wedding websites or writing vows.
The benefits of using AI for wedding planning were evident in Megan Riehl and her husband Nate’s experience. By utilizing ChatGPT’s image generator, DALL-E, the couple was able to create stunning wedding invitations at a fraction of the cost of hiring a graphic designer.
Zanah Hernandez also found ChatGPT to be a valuable resource when planning her honeymoon to Italy’s Amalfi Coast. By asking the AI for travel recommendations within a specific budget, she and her husband were able to enjoy a romantic getaway stress-free.
As more couples discover the advantages of AI in wedding planning, it’s clear that technology is revolutionizing the industry. From managing budgets to creating personalized artwork, artificial intelligence is proving to be a valuable tool for engaged couples looking to save time, money, and their sanity when planning their special day.
