Wedding calendar
Add a calendar of your venue's weddings, private events and closed days to your website. One step makes the table you keep them in, puts it in this site's sidebar and gets it ready to show on a page as a month calendar.
Use it when
Use it when couples check your website to see which days are taken. Your team keeps the days in a table called Wedding calendar: each wedding, private event or closed day with its date, times, guests and contact. The same days show on your business's Calendar, next to your other calendars. The website shows only each day's date and its Website label, and only the days marked Show on website.
Use something else when
For shows you sell tickets to, use Event calendar. For any other table that has dates, use Calendar. To let visitors book a time themselves, add a booking schedule to your site instead.

Makes a table and adds dates to your site · your site draws them
It brings these with it:
Settings
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Table | Where the wedding calendar is kept: a new table made for it, or a table of this business that already holds its columns. | {"mode": "new", "name": "Wedding calendar"} |
Example
Grewal Hall, a fictional venue, adds a Wedding calendar to its site, then puts it on its "Dates" page beside its shows. Staff enter "Smith & Lee wedding" on 6 June with Show on website off, and "Closed for private event" on 12 June with it on. The page shows only "Closed for private event" on the 12th. On Calendar, staff see both days beside the shows.
If something isn't working
- "Set the business's time zone first." Set your business's time zone in Business profile, then add it again.
- A day is missing from the website. Check Show on website is on for it and its date hasn't passed. Past days drop out when your site is prepared again.
- The card isn't offered. Your role can't make tables. Ask an admin of your business for access.
- Two tables were made. You added it twice with New table. Remove the section you don't want, then use the other table's row.
Limits
- Only upcoming days show, up to 200, soonest first.
- Names, contacts, guests and notes never reach your website: only the date and the Website label do.
- Visitors without JavaScript see the same days as a plain list.
