Customizing Portal Content

This covers what goes into each part of the Guest Guide, and where that content comes from. Most of it is venue-wide and inherited; only a few things are written per wedding.

The per-wedding pieces

Four, all on the wedding's Guest Guide tab:

Cover image — fills the hero at the top, under a dark gradient so the names stay readable. A landscape photo works best. New weddings start from your venue's Default Cover Image.

Accent Color — used for buttons and highlights across the guide. The default is #8B6AAE. Couples usually have a palette; asking for their primary color takes a second and makes the page feel like theirs.

Welcome message — a rich text editor supporting bold, italic, lists, links and headings. Two warm sentences are plenty.

Pretty link — a readable URL instead of an ID.

The ten sections

Each has a toggle under Section Visibility. What they show, and where the content comes from:

Parking & Arrivals

Your venue-wide parking instructions, or a per-wedding override. Use the override when one wedding parks somewhere different — an overflow field, a closed gate.

Day-of Schedule

Built from the wedding's own timeline events. Nothing to re-enter: it's the schedule you already keep.

Seating Finder

A lookup, not a picture of the chart — a guest finds their own name and is told their table. It reads live from seating assignments, so a late change needs no republishing.

Guest WiFi

Network name and password, venue-wide or overridden. Both get a copy button, because a guest is retyping them on a phone.

Venue Facilities

Accessibility notes, wheelchair access and restroom locations. Venue-wide only — these don't change per wedding.

Accommodations

Partner hotels, each as a card with address, distance and rating. Venue-wide, with a per-wedding override.

Practical Tips

Weather, venue rules and venue notices. Rules and notices are lists you add items to, and both can be overridden per wedding.

Backup Plans

The wet-weather or contingency plan, drawn from the wedding's backup plans, if you want guests to see it.

Assistance

Your on-site coordinator title plus an emergency contact name and number. Venue-wide, with per-wedding overrides for the name and number.

Venue Map

An interactive map. Needs map locations configured for your venue.

Why a section isn't showing

Almost always one of two reasons, and the settings screen distinguishes them for you.

The toggle is off. Sections default to on, so this means someone turned it off.

The data isn't there. A section with its toggle on but nothing behind it renders nothing at all. When that happens the settings screen says what's missing, in the specific — "Add a WiFi network name in Settings", "Add a plan on this wedding's Backup Plans tab", "Add map locations". Follow the hint and the section appears.

That warning only shows when a toggle is on, on the reasoning that a section deliberately switched off doesn't need explaining.

The order is fixed. Sections appear in a set sequence and there's no way to rearrange them.

Guests move between sections using the navigation bar — a row of pills on desktop, a menu on mobile.

Tip: Switch off sections you haven't filled in rather than leaving them hopeful. A guest who opens Backup Plans looking for the wet-weather plan and finds an empty card will ring you, which is the opposite of what the guide is for.
