Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered.

Is the timeline generator free?
Yes. Building and previewing your schedule is completely free and works in your browser. To export the timeline as a PDF, we just ask for your email address.
What time should our wedding start?
Most ceremonies take place between 3 PM and 5 PM, with the reception lasting late into the night. The generator will suggest timings based on your ceremony start time and reception style.
Can I change the order of events?
Yes. You can move, shorten, or delete any event block — the timeline will recalculate all the timings automatically.
How is this different from a souveil wedding website?
This generator creates a PDF schedule for your suppliers. With souveil, the timeline is part of your interactive wedding website for guests, alongside travel info, your RSVP, and the photo gallery.
