How to create a wedding planner website in WordPress

Start with a short menu: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Blog and Contact. Add separate service pages if you offer different packages such as full planning, day-of coordination, venue styling or destination weddings.

Prepare the practical information before designing: service areas, starting prices if you publish them, availability process, testimonials, FAQs and the next step you want visitors to take. Keep the main action consistent, such as Check availability or Arrange a consultation.

For the manual route, use a responsive theme that supports the WordPress block editor. With a block theme, go to Appearance > Editor to adjust global colours, typography, layout, templates, headers and footers. WordPress documents the Site Editor as the place to edit the entire site with blocks, including reusable template parts and navigation.

This route is fine for a small brochure site and gives you control without a page builder. The drawback is time: you must create the visual system, page layouts and mobile spacing yourself, and a generic theme may make the site look like a business template rather than a wedding brand.

Go to Pages > Add New, create each page and build it with blocks. WordPress supports pages made from blocks, and its documentation recommends using parent and child pages when a section needs subpages.

• Home: promise, featured image, services, portfolio preview, testimonials and enquiry button.
• About: your approach, experience, team and service area.
• Services: packages, inclusions, exclusions and planning process.
• Portfolio: real weddings grouped by style, venue or location.
• Contact: enquiry form, email, phone, social links and expected reply time.

Use a full-width Cover block for the hero image, then add a short headline, supporting sentence and one button. The Cover block can use an uploaded image, a Media Library image or the page's featured image as its background.

Follow the hero with three or four service cards, a small gallery, a process section, testimonials and a final enquiry call to action. Use real wedding images where possible, compress large files before uploading, and avoid putting important text inside an image because it becomes difficult to read on phones.

Create a page called Home and set it as the static homepage under Settings > Reading when your theme uses the standard reading settings. Be careful with block themes: if a Front Page template exists in the Site Editor, it can control the front page regardless of the Reading setting, so edit that template or remove it before troubleshooting a homepage that appears to ignore your chosen page.

Add the key pages to the Navigation block. On a new navigation block, WordPress may begin with a Page List block; replace or edit it so visitors see the links you actually want. Keep the menu short and place the enquiry link at the end.

Preview the site at narrow and wide widths. Check that the hero heading is readable, buttons are easy to tap, gallery images are not cropped badly, the navigation opens correctly and the contact form works. Avoid fixed image heights unless the design genuinely needs them, since fixed sizing can make images harder to control across screen sizes.

Fast way: use Loveme if you want a wedding-specific starting design rather than assembling a general-purpose theme. It is aimed at wedding planners, consultants and ceremony services and includes layouts for services, projects, teams, about content and news. Confirm that the package includes a WordPress-compatible version and follow its supplied installation documentation; a design advertised only as an HTML template will not install as a WordPress theme without conversion.
