Bridebook alternative: how WhiteClover compares
Bridebook is free for couples and says so plainly. Their support centre says every couple can use Bridebook completely free, from the moment they start planning right through to their wedding day.
So this page is not an argument about price. It is about the seating chart, which their published tools list does not include, and about planning in more than one language.
WhiteClover is software, so you can use it wherever you are marrying. Every claim here about Bridebook links to a Bridebook page, with the date we checked it.
So which one should you use?
Bridebook is a genuinely good free product for a UK wedding, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Here is where it fits and where it does not.
Choose Bridebook if…
- You are marrying in the UK and want the biggest UK venue and supplier search to browse through. Search is the first tool their homepage names.
- You want a budget tool sitting in the same app as that search.
- You are planning entirely in English and none of your guests need another language.
- You want the core planning tools to cost nothing. Their support centre is explicit that they do.
Choose WhiteClover if…
- You need a seating chart. Ours is free, drag and drop, and the finished plan exports for your venue.
- You need Greek and English side by side: the dashboard you plan in, the page your guests open, and the automated emails.
- You are marrying outside Britain, or planning a destination wedding, and a UK venue search is not the search you need. Our own supplier directory covers Greece and destination weddings.
- You want guests posting photos and video to a private feed from a QR code, with nothing to download.

Bridebook and WhiteClover, side by side
| WhiteClover | Bridebook | |
|---|---|---|
| What couples pay | Free, for up to 3,000 guests. The optional extras are listed on our pricing page and nothing stops working if you skip them | Free. Their support centre says every couple can use Bridebook completely free, from the moment they start planning right through to their wedding day |
| Paid tier for couples | There is no tier. One product, and the optional extras are one off purchases rather than a plan | A Bridebook VIP subscription appears in their terms of service, sold on a 30 day or 12 month basis. No price for it is published publicly |
| Seating chart or table planner | Free. Drag tables onto the plan, assign guests to seats, then export the finished chart for your venue | Bridebook's own tools list does not include a table planner. The six their homepage names are search, checklist, budget, guest list with RSVPs, wedding website and advice |
| Wedding website, RSVP and guest list | Free, with seven ready made templates and every guest on your list able to reply | Free. A wedding website and a guest list with RSVPs are both on the tools list their homepage publishes |
| Guest photo and video sharing | Built in. Guests scan a QR code and post to a private feed, with no app to download | Guest photo sharing is not on the tools list Bridebook publishes on their homepage |
| Greek language | Fully bilingual English and Greek: the dashboard, the guest facing page, the RSVP form and the automated emails | Their UK site, their support centre and their terms of service are published in English |
| How suppliers are listed | A free directory listing, and couples message the supplier directly rather than through a paid placement | Bridebook Business publishes paid venue memberships, from £99 a month plus VAT up to £995 a month plus VAT |
| Best for | Couples anywhere who want the seating chart free and no charge per guest, and bilingual or destination weddings in particular | Couples marrying in the UK who want one free app with a large domestic venue search behind it |
Where we could not find a claim on a Bridebook page, we left it out rather than guessing. Note the wording in the seating chart row: we say what their published tools list does and does not include, which anyone can check, rather than what their product does or does not do, which we cannot see from outside. Prices change, so confirm current figures on bridebook.com.
