Folia

Folia is a web-based wedding planning platform for couples and professional planners. It suits couples who need guest, budget and seating tools alongside a planner, and professionals coordinating weddings with clients. Its strongest case is keeping shared planning work in sync; couples who need more than the free plan’s 500-guest and 10-vendor limits must pay.

Overview

Folia connects guest records, RSVPs, meal choices and addresses with budget planning and actual-spend tracking. Its drag-and-drop seating chart also surfaces meal selections at each table, a useful link between arranging guests and catering decisions. These connected tools make more sense for couples juggling several planning tasks than for someone who only wants a simple checklist.

Couples and professional planners use separate portals, and RSVP and seating changes sync between them. That division gives both parties a shared workflow without collapsing their roles into one workspace. It is a clear advantage when a planner is involved, but less compelling for couples handling everything themselves.

Key features

Planner Suite

Planner Suite adds client portals, questionnaires, reusable questionnaire templates, timelines and messaging. Timelines offer list and calendar views, five-minute precision, event notes, links to vendors and locations, and per-vendor call sheets. CSV budget exports and PDF timeline exports help take planning records out of the platform, though Folia’s product pages describe in-app planning and exports rather than named external service integrations.

For planners, the combination of client communication and detailed timelines is more relevant than the couple tools alone. The plans scale by active wedding count, so a solo or small operation can avoid paying for capacity it does not need, while larger firms have higher limits and different support.

Pricing

Folia has a free couple plan and paid couple options, plus a separate Planner Suite. The free plan is billed forever free and includes budget tracking, up to 500 guests and up to 10 vendors. Those caps provide room for many couples to organize a wedding without paying, but the vendor limit can be restrictive if the event involves a long supplier list.

The Monthly plan costs $11.99 a month, billed monthly, and provides full access with cancellation anytime. The Annual plan costs $89 a year, billed annually, and provides full access for one year; it is described as saving 38% versus monthly. The 2 Year Plan costs 129.00 USD once for two years of full access and auto-cancels after that period. Monthly is the flexible option; the annual and two-year terms suit couples comfortable committing in exchange for a lower stated cost.

Planner Suite plans include a 14-day free trial, with no charge if cancelled before it ends. Small Business costs $29 a month for up to 5 active weddings, unlimited guests per wedding and email support. Boutique is $49 a month for up to 15 active weddings, unlimited guests per wedding and email support. Growth costs $99 a month for up to 50 active weddings and adds priority email and chat support. Studio costs $159 a month for unlimited active weddings and a dedicated account manager. Small Business and Boutique suit lower-volume planners; Growth trades a higher fee for more capacity and faster support, while Studio is aimed at firms that need unlimited active weddings and a named account contact.

Platforms

Folia is available on the web. That fits planning from a browser, but the platform choice is less suitable for readers who want a dedicated mobile app.

Who it's for

Folia is a strong fit for couples who want guest, budget and seating work together, particularly when coordinating with a professional planner. Its Planner Suite is more appropriate for wedding professionals who need client portals, questionnaires, messaging and detailed timelines, with plan capacity tied to their active wedding load. Couples with more than 500 guests or 10 vendors need a paid plan; planners should choose by wedding volume and support needs.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Meal selections appear on the seating chart, keeping guest catering choices visible while arranging tables.
• Pro: Separate couple and planner portals sync RSVP and seating changes, supporting shared client work.
• Pro: Planner timelines combine calendar or list views, five-minute precision and per-vendor call sheets.
• Con: The forever-free couple plan caps guests at 500 and vendors at 10, which can rule it out for larger or supplier-heavy weddings.
• Con: Folia is web-only, so it does not suit readers seeking an Android or iOS app.
• Con: Planner Suite pricing rises with capacity, from $29 a month for five active weddings to $159 a month for unlimited weddings.

Verdict

Choose Folia if you want guest management, budgeting and seating connected, or if you are a planner who needs client portals and wedding-by-wedding capacity. Its synced couple-planner workflow is the main reason to prefer it. Look elsewhere if you need a mobile app, or if the free couple plan’s guest and vendor caps do not cover your wedding.
