Occasion is two planners built on the same foundation: one for weddings, one for everything else. Guests, budget, seating, schedules and suppliers, together in a plan that stays on your device.
On iPhone and iPad. Your plan syncs between them.
Your day, planned your way
From the first guest list to the last dance, with a seating plan you can actually move people around and a budget that tells you the truth.
From guest list to last dance
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, work parties, fundraisers. The same planning tools, without a single assumption that you're getting married.
What's inside
Both apps are the same app underneath, so nothing is a cut-down version of anything. What differs is the language on screen and the categories offered. The features are identical.
How it's built
The wedding app doesn’t guess. A new plan asks for partner one and partner two, and if that isn’t what you call yourselves you can set it to bride and groom, bride and bride, or groom and groom. Whichever you pick, the app uses it everywhere it refers to you, and nothing puts one of you ahead of the other.
The same thinking runs through the guest list: dietary requirements and access needs sit beside every name, because a guest who needs step-free access to their table matters as much as one who doesn't eat fish.
Sync and sharing
Plan on the iPad at the kitchen table, then check a supplier’s number on your phone at the venue. With a subscription your plan syncs through your own iCloud account, so every device you own is showing the same guest list, the same seating plan and the same balance owing.
Then share it. Send the plan to whoever is planning it with you. They open it on their own Apple Account, on their own iPhone or iPad, and they are not looking at a copy or a screenshot: they are in the same plan. They tick a task off and it is ticked for you. They do not need a subscription of their own.
All of it goes through Apple. The plan sits in your iCloud, under your Apple ID, and we hold no copy of it. There is no account to create with us and nothing of ours in between.
One subscription covers both apps. Without one the app still works on the device you are using, with a cap on how much a single plan can hold. Sync and sharing are the parts that are paid for. Anyone who bought the old Wedding Planner or Event Planner keeps what they paid for; see the note for existing owners.
Privacy
Your plan lives on your device, and with a subscription in your own iCloud as well. We hold no copy of it, there is no account to create with us, and nothing goes to a server of ours because there isn’t one.
