A Timeline Genius alternative for UK wedding planners
Planners look for a Timeline Genius alternative in the UK when they want the timeline and the rest of the wedding in one place. Timeline Genius is built around the timeline; I Said Yes is wedding planning software with a running order and a day mode inside it. This page sets out where I Said Yes does more, side by side, from Timeline Genius's own published pages, with the date we last checked at the bottom.
Where I Said Yes does more than Timeline Genius
- The whole wedding, not one document
- Timeline Genius has no guest list, budget, table plan, enquiries or contracts. In I Said Yes the running order sits beside all of them, so the suppliers on the timeline are the ones booked in Suppliers and the numbers on the day are the guest list's own.
- A day mode that works without signal
- On the day, one running-late offset moves the whole day while the ceremony and the registrar stay put, clashes are named in plain words, dietary needs and Who's who are one tap away, and anything you do with no signal queues and replays when it returns. Timeline Genius's Execute View runs in the browser, and working offline is not described for it.
- A portal for the couple
- Couples log in to their own portal and see the parts of the wedding you switch on, the running order among them. Timeline Genius shares timelines by invite link, email and PDF, and its help centre says clients do not have a portal.
- Pounds, and one price for everything
- £39 a month for Planning or £69 for Complete, or £390 and £690 a year, unlimited weddings, couples and team members, 30 days free with no card. Your price is fixed for 24 months from the day you join, and no VAT is charged in your first 12 months. Timeline Genius is priced in dollars.
- We move your weddings across for you, free
- The real cost of changing software is re-entering twenty weddings by hand and getting some of it wrong. Tell us what you use now and we do it, on any plan, at no charge, usually within five working days of your files reaching us through our secure upload. You check it before it counts. The secure upload for your files is not open yet: we email you your link as soon as it opens, and nothing is lost meanwhile.

Questions planners ask
- Is Timeline Genius a full planning tool?
- No. It is built around the wedding timeline, with checklists and a contacts list, and has no guest list, budget or contracts.
- How does I Said Yes build a running order?
- It starts from a template for your ceremony type, a day at a time, with fixed moments that stay put and times you move in bulk. Each supplier gets a share link, and the branded PDF run sheet opens with a Who's who.
- Can I bring my timelines over?
- Yes. We move your weddings in for you, free on any plan: tell us you use Timeline Genius and we arrange it, usually within five working days of your files reaching us through our secure upload. Or import guests, budgets and suppliers yourself from a spreadsheet today.
