Not a rented template. A permanent address.
Astelia designs and builds custom websites for weddings and the milestones that follow — a living guest list, secure entry, and a domain your family keeps — on a system built to outlast the occasion.
Every platform in this category rents you a page.
The free ones are ad-supported rentals. The subscription ones are nicer rentals — you still hand back the keys the moment you stop paying. The freelance ones give you a beautiful site and no system behind it: no way to open it up and change something yourself once the invoice clears.
Astelia is built to be the fourth option. Your own domain, registered in your name at intake. A guest list you control, not one we hold for you. A system you can actually operate — through the wedding, and for every occasion that comes after it.
Two ways in, one system underneath.
Every Astelia site — however it's composed — runs on the same foundation: a private guest database, secure code-based access, and a domain that's truly yours.
The Foundation Suite
Your palette, your type, your copy — composed onto a proven set of pages on the shared system. Edit a detail and it's live within minutes. No developer required, no deploy to wait on.
The Bespoke Commission
A site built page by page for a singular occasion — custom structure, custom features — on the same infrastructure that runs the Foundation Suite. For families and planners who want something no menu describes.
Ownership is not a marketing word here.
A living record your family controls — not a spreadsheet we hold hostage, not a platform export you'll have to fight for later.
Registered in your name, on your own account, at intake. When the site is finished, so is our claim to it.
Private, code-based entry for guests — no public link circulating where it shouldn't, no stranger finding the registry by accident.
A recommendation you don't have to qualify.
Every couple you refer reflects on you. Astelia gives you something to put your name behind with confidence — infrastructure, not a template link — and a partnership built to be worth your time, not just your goodwill.
Currently in use, for a wedding still two years away.
Our first site has been running quietly for over a year — a private guest list, live RSVPs, and a family that's never once had to ask us to change something themselves. Case details available on request.
