A Zola alternative built for professional planners

Comparison

Zola is a lovely product — for couples. Registry, wedding website, invitations and a friendly DIY planning checklist. If you are the couple planning your own wedding, it is a strong, consumer-grade start.

It is not built for a professional planner running several weddings at once. There is no planner-first operational view, no auto-seating around family politics, no destination logistics. That is a different tool, and it is what Mezze is.

The planner-first alternative

Run every wedding's operation — seating, logistics, connected guest data — in one place.

Open Mezze — free

What professional planners need instead

A planner cockpit across all your weddings, not a single couple's checklist.
Computed seating around conflicts, connected to the guest list.
Destination logistics — arrivals, shuttles, multi-day weekends.
Couple collaboration you control — invite them to place their own guests.
