Venue Map & Locations
Dropping pins on a map so guests can find the parking, the restrooms and the ceremony.
The venue map is a set of pins on a real map of your property. Guests see it in the Guest Guide, which saves your team answering "where do we park?" a hundred and fifty times.
Where it lives
Settings, then Venue Map. It is its own tab, not part of Venue Info.
The map centers on the address from your venue information, so set that first or you will be dropping pins on the wrong town.
Adding a pin
Click anywhere on the map — the cursor becomes a crosshair and the panel prompts you with Click anywhere on the map to add a pin. Then fill in:
| Field | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Name | What guests should call it: "Restroom", "Main Entrance" |
| Description | Optional detail or directions |
| Type | One of nine kinds, below |
| Cover image | Optional photo of the spot |
The types are Ceremony, Reception, Restroom, Parking, Entrance, Bar, Photo Spot, Emergency and Other. The type picks the pin's icon for you — there is no separate icon chooser.
Editing and removing
Each location has a pencil to edit and a trash icon to remove, and removing asks first. Pins are ordered, and that order is what guests see in the list beside the map.
When there are none, the panel reads No locations yet.
What guests see
The map appears in the Guest Guide with your pins on it. A guest can search the list by name, tap a pin to select it, and see its photo and description.
Two things it does not do:
- No category filter. Guests can search by name, but they cannot show or hide pins by type.
- No custom base map. The map is Google's. You cannot upload an aerial photo or a site plan of your property as the background.
Practical use
- Pin what a stranger cannot find: parking, the entrance they should use, the restrooms, and where the ceremony actually happens.
- Write the description for someone who has never been: "Gravel lot, first left after the white gate" beats "Main lot".
- Add a photo to the two or three that matter most. A picture of the entrance settles more questions than a paragraph.
- Keep the list short. Fifteen pins is a map; forty is a puzzle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload a drawing of my property instead? No. The map is the real map, with your pins on it.
Is the map per wedding? No, it belongs to the venue and appears on every wedding's Guest Guide.
Can guests filter to just parking? Not by type. They can search the list by name, so naming pins consistently helps.
