Built specifically for UK couples, it covers everything from RSVPs and gift lists to schedules and FAQs, all within a free, intuitive platform. There’s no paywall for the core features that actually matter, and no US-centric defaults to unpick.

You can have your wedding website live in under ten minutes – and it’ll look genuinely good without you needing to touch a single line of code.

  • Schedule planner: Map out your entire day with start and end times for each event, from the ceremony through to the evening
  • Privacy controls: Password-protect your site, preview it before publishing, and set a custom URL so only your guests can find it
  • FAQ section: Pre-empt your most-asked questions in one tidy, scannable section
  • ‘Our Story’: Share how you met, the proposal, your favourite photos, and whatever else makes your relationship yours

2. Wix – Best for fully custom, from-scratch design

Best for: Couples who want complete creative control and don’t mind building something from scratch

Wix isn’t a wedding-specific platform – it’s a general website builder – but its free tier is genuinely capable, and the drag-and-drop editor makes it possible to design something truly unique. If you have a clear visual vision and the time to execute it, Wix gives you more design freedom than any dedicated wedding website platform.

That flexibility comes at a cost, though. Because Wix isn’t built for weddings, you won’t find built-in RSVP tools, gift list integration, or guest management features. You’d need to find and add these manually through third-party apps.

Key features:

  • Drag-and-drop website builder with hundreds of templates
  • App market for additional functionality (countdown timers, photo galleries, contact forms)
  • Blogging tools if you want to share planning updates
  • Free subdomain on the free tier (yourname.wixsite.com)

Pros:

  • Unmatched creative freedom
  • Large template library
  • Free tier is genuinely functional

Cons:

  • Not built for weddings – no native RSVP, gift list, or guest management tools
  • Free tier shows Wix branding on your site
  • Custom domain requires a paid plan
  • Steeper setup time than dedicated wedding platforms

Verdict: Best suited to couples who are design-driven, have some website-building experience, and don’t need wedding-specific functionality out of the box. For most couples, a dedicated wedding website builder will be faster and more practical.

3. Squarespace – Best for premium design aesthetics

Best for: Design-conscious couples who prioritise a polished, high-end look above all else

Squarespace is widely regarded as the gold standard for visual design among website builders – its templates are genuinely beautiful, and the editor gives you precise control over how everything looks. If aesthetics are your top priority and you’re happy to pay for them, it’s hard to beat.

The important caveat: Squarespace isn’t free. It offers a free trial, but you’ll need a paid plan to publish your site and share it with guests. Plans start from around £11/month. Worth knowing before you invest time building something on the platform.

Key features:

  • Premium design templates with precise customisation
  • RSVP and event management (on paid plans)
  • E-commerce functionality if you want to sell something (unlikely for a wedding, but it’s there)
  • Strong mobile optimisation

Pros:

  • Best-in-class design quality
  • Very polished, professional results
  • Strong customer support

Cons:

  • Not free – requires a paid subscription to go live
  • Not wedding-specific, so no built-in gift list or guest management tools
  • More setup time than dedicated wedding platforms

Verdict: If you want a website that looks like it was designed by a professional and you’re happy to pay for it, Squarespace delivers. For couples looking for a free option, or those who want wedding-specific features, look elsewhere.

4. WithJoy – Best for design flexibility and colour customisation

Best for: Couples with a strong visual vision for their wedding who want maximum design flexibility

WithJoy has built a loyal following for good reason – it offers an impressive range of templates and, crucially, genuinely unlimited colour customisation within those templates. If your wedding has a specific palette and you want your website to match it exactly, WithJoy gives you the control to do that.

There’s also a solid set of guest management features, and for couples who are comfortable with a little code, there’s a deeper layer of customisation available that most platforms don’t offer.

Key features:

  • Hundreds of customisable templates with unlimited colour options
  • Personalised guest schedules and travel tools (including hotel and flight info)
  • Built-in Q&A section
  • Wedding party bios
  • Password-protect individual pages (not just the whole site)

Pros:

  • Outstanding design flexibility – one of the most visually customisable options available
  • Good guest experience features
  • Free to use for core functionality

Cons:

  • The sheer number of options can feel overwhelming, especially for couples who just want something quick
  • Some advanced features have a steeper learning curve
  • Primarily a US platform – some features and defaults are less relevant for UK couples

Verdict: A strong option if design is your priority and you’re willing to invest a bit of time in the setup. Less ideal if you want something quick, or if UK-specific features (like local gift registries) matter to you.

What to look for in a free wedding website

Not all free wedding websites are created equal. Here’s what to weigh up before you commit to a platform:

Is it actually free? Some platforms advertise as free but lock essential features – like custom URLs, RSVP tools, or removing their branding – behind paid plans. Check what’s included before you start building.

Is it built for UK couples? US-based platforms often default to American spelling, US gift registry partners, and dollar-denominated costs. For a UK wedding, this creates unnecessary friction – for you and for your guests.

Does it have the features you actually need? At minimum, you’ll want: RSVPs, a gift list link, a schedule, FAQs, and some form of privacy control. Check these are available on the free tier, not just on paid plans.

How long will it take to set up? Some platforms are genuinely quick (Bridebook, WithJoy). Others require a significant time investment to make them look good (Wix, Squarespace). Be honest with yourself about how much time you want to spend on this.

Is it mobile-friendly? Most guests will view your website on their phone. Make sure whatever you build looks as good on mobile as it does on desktop.

What is a free wedding website?

A free wedding website is a personalised webpage where your guests can find everything they need about your big day – venue, timings, dress code, travel info, RSVP, gift list, and more. The best ones are completely free to set up, require no coding skills, and take minutes rather than hours.

Some platforms are genuinely free with no hidden costs. Others offer a free tier but lock their best features behind a paywall.

Frequently asked questions

Are wedding websites really free?

Yes – several platforms offer genuinely free wedding websites with no payment required for the core features. Bridebook, WithJoy, and Wix all have free tiers that are functional and complete. Squarespace offers a free trial but requires a paid plan to publish.

What’s the best free wedding website for UK couples?

Bridebook. It’s the only platform on this list built specifically for UK couples, with UK gift registry partners, UK spelling and conventions, and all the key features available completely free.

Can I password-protect a free wedding website?

Yes – Bridebook and WithJoy both offer password protection on their free tiers, so only guests with your link and password can access your site.

Do I need a custom domain for my wedding website?

Not necessarily. Most free tiers offer a subdomain (e.g., yournames.bridebook.com), which works perfectly well for sharing with guests. If you want a fully custom domain (e.g., zoeandjames2026.com), you’ll typically need a paid plan.

When should I create my wedding website?

As early as possible – ideally before your save the dates go out, so you can include the URL from the start. The sooner it’s live, the more useful it is. You can also find the perfect wedding hashtag to include!

For UK couples, the choice is straightforward. Bridebook is free, built with UK weddings in mind, and covers every feature you’ll actually need – RSVPs, gift lists, schedules, FAQs, privacy settings, and more. You can have it live in minutes, and it won’t cost you anything.

If design customisation is your top priority, WithJoy is worth a look. If you want full creative freedom and don’t need wedding-specific tools, Wix is a solid option. And if budget isn’t a concern and aesthetics are everything, Squarespace is the premium choice.

But for most UK couples, the answer is simple.
