ASTELIA

Private Event Websites

A private event website, built to stay yours.

A private home for your event — where each guest sees what applies to them, responds in one place, and finds what they need without asking. Behind it, a single live guest list that stays current on its own.


The Difference

Most event sites are made to be filled in, not to be visited.

They collect a response and little else. The design comes from a menu, the words come from a placeholder, and every guest sees the same page — whether they are standing up in the wedding party or driving four hours to attend.

Astelia builds the other kind. The design, the words, and what each guest sees are decided for this event and no other. The site reads from the same guest list the people running the day are working from, so what a guest sees is never out of date.

Custom design you can find. A guest experience built on the actual guest list, you can’t.


One Record

The website and the guest list are the same system.

Everywhere else, the site and the guest list are two things someone keeps in sync by hand. Here there is one live record — the working list used for seating, catering counts, and day-of logistics — and the site reads from it and writes back to it directly. When a guest responds, that is not a message waiting to be transcribed. It is already there, already correct.

The Engagements

Two ways in, one system underneath.

Both engagements are quoted directly. Terms are discussed in the first conversation, not published here.

What’s Underneath

What you own from day one.

The Guest List

The family’s own spreadsheet, in their hands from the first day. The site reads from it in real time — the list is never inside our system; ours reads from theirs.

The Address

Registered in the family’s name, on their own account, at intake. The domain is theirs to keep, whatever comes next.

The Access

Private, code-based entry for guests — no public link circulating where it shouldn’t, no stranger finding the registry by accident.


What It Becomes

The same address, for everything that follows.

A wedding is the first occasion, not the last. Most families never have the list from their own wedding five years on — the anniversary invitations get rebuilt from memory, and half the addresses are wrong. Yours does not expire with the day: it is your own file, and it is still there. When the anniversary, the christening or the reunion of the same hundred people comes, the same address and the same list can be brought back for it.

For Planners

A recommendation you don’t have to qualify.

Every couple you refer reflects on you. Astelia gives you something considered enough to put your name behind, and takes the reconciling work off your desk. One point of contact, and nothing in front of your client that advertises us.


For Couples

Yours, and still yours in ten years.

If you are planning your own wedding, the difference is plain: the domain is registered in your name before design begins, the guest list is a record you hold rather than an export you have to request, and none of it switches off once the wedding has happened.


The First Commission

Currently in use, for a wedding still a year away.

The first site has been running quietly for a year — a private guest list, live RSVPs, and a family that has never once had to ask us to change something for them. A long planning window is exactly where a system like this earns its keep, and this one has been earning it since well before the invitations went out. Case details available on request.


Start Here

Two ways to begin.

Tell us which you are and what you are planning. We will read it ourselves and answer it ourselves.

One reply, no automated sequence. We read every inquiry ourselves.
