We still have some features to finish up, but it has reached a point now where we think it's complete enough for folks to use. Would love to hear any feedback you have!
Looks great, the only thing I would say is there are events outside of weddings where this would work so don't leave other casual occasions out of your marketing plan.
Good point about including other types of occasions in the marketing. We intentionally started out with a really narrow focus, but adding some examples of other situations where the app could be used sounds like a good idea to me.
A couple questions off the top of my head: 1) can you join an event you haven't been specifically invited to? 2) my wedding was at a ranch away from cell service, do you need to be connected in order to use Ceremony?
To answer your questions...
1) Yes, if you know the event code. Every event gets a unique code, and you can share that code with people to allow them to join. (The codes start out randomly generated, but you can also customize them to something more memorable if you want).
2) You do need to have network in order to initially join or create an event. But once you're in the event you can create posts and they'll be stored locally. Once you get back online it'll sync your posts up to the shared feed, and download any new items you haven't seen yet.
