With a firm footprint in every aspect of our lives, technology has kept a low profile in the $55B wedding industry until recently. From digital rental storefronts to 3D venue imaging, here are 6 tech companies that are innovating the wedding industry:

Rentivist
  • Rentivist is an online marketplace that allows anyone planning a wedding or event to rent furniture, décor and/or related merchandise directly from individuals who own it rather than having to purchase new. The platform allows users to both source unique items and/or rent items purchased for events to turn a profit.

  • Guesterly is a tool that brides and grooms can use to introduce guests to each other before the wedding celebration. It's essentially a pocket-sized yearbook for wedding guests and an alternative to the standard wedding program.
  • Appy Couple allows couples to create a stylish and easy to use Wedding App and Wedding Website for guests. Users can share their engagement story, registry, event details and also collect RSVPs, share photos, travel plans, and chat with guests all at the same time.
  • AllSeated is a seating chart tool that offers 2D and 3D imaging of a venue floor plan allowing users to drag and drop seating arrangements and manage guests lists conveniently.
AllSeated
  • lover.ly a digital service that lets users discover and save wedding ideas in one, easy place. It also functions as a digital "wedding concierge" that curates vendor recommendations for couples based on style and budget.
  • Union Station offers bridesmaid dresses for rent at a quarter of the retail price. After a bride picks a dress style and color, and registers the wedding party, Union Station connects with bridesmaids for sizing and immediately places the order.
