Wedding Website Hosts With Free Options
1) My Wedding
Free option: Yes
Price: Cost of domain name and more options for host templates
Review: “I have to admit that when we first became engaged, the 1st thing I (Bride) did was run to the knot.com. I registered & created a website. I was not happy with the site at all…the picture space was absurd & the presentation was terrible! I JUST WASN’T HAPPY. Then, we found MyWedding.com…at first I thought, well, it’s a free site, how much can I put into this? I didn’t realize how FABULOUS it was, and free!! Music, pictures, registries, guest book, blog… WOW! Unbelievable!”- Philip & Diana (Pasadena, California)
2) Wedding Window
Free option: Yes
Price: $19.95/year
Review: ”We shopped around and tested a few sites before choosing Wedding Window and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made. We planned our own wedding and our website was the focal point for us. We used it for everything! The site was so user friendly for us. Our guests absolutely loved our website and told us how easy-to-use it was for them, too. We were able to customize all of details that we needed to help make our wedding vision a reality. The few times that I reached out to customer service with questions or suggestions, the customer rep was helpful and professional. I always received a fast, thoughtful, and friendly reply. A change was even made within a week for one of the suggestions! Our wedding experience would not have been the same withoutWedding Window.” – David & Nadiya”

5) The Knot

Review: “The Knot is a great resource for wedding planning. The site and magazine are filled with innovative and chic ideas for all budgets and styles. My favorite aspect of theknot.com is the community boards. By connecting with other brides in my area, I was able to find reputable vendors that fit my budget. I also loved the international boards. The advice and opinions I received were invaluable to the planning process.” Ashley H
6) Wix
Free option: Yes
Review: “The editor is very easy to understand. If you are stuck, the FAQ section will help. Short introductory videos give instructions on the different functions. The designs look great and make a professional impression. But there is one decisive snag: you must decide at the start which one you wish to use. Thereafter it is no longer possible to switch to a different template.”- Unknown

Price: $15 for a custom domain
Review: “My husband and I found that having our guests connect before the wedding made our wedding and reception so much more fun,” Morin told HuffPost Weddings. “People were familiar with one another and were able to enjoy themselves that much more. “- Unknown
