One shared plan. Every moving piece.
Planned Chaos puts wedding decisions, deadlines, documents, and conversations into one shared plan you both use. Built from real event-planning experience.
Planned Chaos at a glance
Planned Chaos is a wedding planning system for couples planning their own wedding. It combines a conversation guide, a set of Google Sheets and Docs templates, and an AI drafting tool into one shared plan covering budget, guest list, vendors, contracts, deadlines, and day-of details, plus an individual 20-minute consultation with Morgan after six months of membership to work through one specific question or issue, without hiring a full-service planner.
Who it is for: Couples planning their own wedding, plus the parents and helpers they share the plan with.
What you get: the Conversation Guide, the Google Guide, the AI Tool, and an individual consultation with Morgan after six months of membership, sold together as one bundle.
What it costs: $19.99 a month at the beta rate, month to month, and you can cancel any time. It goes to $29.99 a month after the official release. After six months of membership, Morgan will contact you to arrange an individual 20-minute consultation focused on one specific question or issue.
What it is not: Not a full-service planner, not vendor matchmaking, and not legal or financial advice.
Communication, not inspiration, is the real planning tool.
You do not have to do it all yourself, but people cannot read your mind.
A checklist fails when no one owns the task.
A calendar fails when dates are not shared.
Delegation fails when authority stays unspoken.
A budget fails when everyone uses different numbers.
You do not need more inspiration. You need a place for the decisions.
Wedding planner, free checklist, or a system?
How Planned Chaos compares to the two options most couples weigh against it.
Free content and checklists. Free. You decide, with no guidance. Scattered tips and generic templates with unclear credibility. It rarely gets shared, so the plan lives in one person’s head or one person’s file. Best when you are early and just gathering ideas.
Planned Chaos. $19.99 a month at the beta rate, $29.99 after the official release. Month to month, cancel any time. You decide, with expert structure behind each decision. A connected system for budget, guests, vendors, contracts, and deadlines, plus an individual 20-minute consultation after six months of membership, arranged when Morgan contacts you. Built to hand off to a partner, parent, vendor, or helper. Best when you are doing the work yourselves and need it to stay organized.
Full-service planner.Commonly several thousand dollars, often a percentage of the wedding budget. Largely the planner decides, within your brief. Bespoke decisions plus execution and on-site coordination. The planner becomes the point of contact. Best when you want to hand the whole thing to someone else.
DIY should not mean figuring it out alone.
What is included in Planned Chaos?
Three tools in one connected portal, sold as a single bundle rather than separate upsells. Free guides lead in; everything below comes together.
The Conversation Guide. Questions and scripts for the conversations that stall a plan: money, the guest list, family expectations, and who gets to decide what.
The Google Guide. Set up your budget, guest list, vendors, and timeline in Google Sheets and Docs, so both of you open the same file and see the same answer.
The AI Tool. Draft the vendor email, the family update, or the day-of brief in your own words, using your actual details.
Also included: A budget tracker holding estimates, deposits and what is actually paid in one running total; a guest list covering invitations, replies, meals and seating without a second copy; vendor briefs recording what each vendor agreed to and when they need it; and a day-of timeline, the single page you hand to whoever is running the day.
Every tool follows the same path: orient, gather, decide, assign, share, return.
How Planned Chaos works, in four steps
Four steps, in order. Each one unblocks the next.
1. Start with one decision. Pick the thing blocking other things. Usually the budget or the guest count.
2. Put it where you both can see it. One file, one list, one source of truth. No second copy living in someone’s notes app.
3. Name the owner and the date. A task without an owner is a wish. Say who decides, and what they can decide alone.
4. Share it with whoever needs it. Partner, parents, vendors, day-of helpers. They can help once they know what they own.
Three free tools now. The full system in November.
Each one is the budget half of a tool that will sit inside Planned Chaos in November. Give us your name and email; add your wedding date if you know it. All three open straight away.
The budget conversation. A five-page worksheet you fill in together in about twenty minutes. It does the arithmetic: confirmed money in, a working ceiling, a reserve held back, and the amount actually left to plan with. You finish with a written agreement, an owner and a date.
Ten AI prompts for the budget. Twenty-one pages of copy-and-paste prompts, ten of them, each written to a standard: agree a ceiling, build the first allocation, research prices, compare quotes fairly, price the guest list, handle family contributions, cut costs, and run the check-in.
The wedding budget, together. A Google Sheet covering thirteen categories, from venue and catering to fees and cushion, with published U.S. benchmark costs beside each line. Log a payment once and your agreed budget, actual spend and unpaid balance update themselves. Room for 500 transactions.
Each one is a real working tool, not a sample. In November the full Planned Chaos system opens with the same structure applied to the guest list, vendors, contracts, deadlines and the day itself, and this list gets in first at a discounted price.
Who Planned Chaos is for, and who it is not for
Worth knowing before you join the list.
Best for. Couples planning their own wedding who want structure, not a takeover. Anyone who is currently the only person holding the whole plan in their head. Parents and helpers who want to be useful without taking over. People comfortable working in a spreadsheet and a shared doc.
Not for. Couples who want someone else to make the decisions. Anyone looking for design inspiration or vendor matchmaking. Weddings that need full-service planning or on-site coordination.
What it does not replace: a planner making decisions for you, or professional legal and financial advice. For contracts, taxes, or disputes, confirm with a qualified professional.
Built by someone who has run the room.
Planned Chaos was created by Morgan, who has worked in events and wedding planning for more than ten years and spent seven years as an executive assistant, the job where keeping many people on the same page is the entire job.
Frameworks that hold up. The same principles Morgan uses to manage real events, competing priorities, and a lot of moving pieces, turned into practical tools for planning a wedding. They’re designed to help you make decisions, stay organized, and know what to do next.
Why it is being built now. Most couples are planning a wedding alongside work, family, budgets, opinions, and everyday life. Planned Chaos gives you the structure to manage it all, without turning wedding planning into another full-time job.

$19.99 a month at the beta rate, month to month. Includes the Conversation Guide, the Google Guide, the AI Tool, an individual 20-minute consultation with Morgan after six months of membership, focused on one specific question or issue, and every template released while you are a member.
Month to month from the start. Access continues at your monthly rate until you cancel. Cancel any time and it ends at the close of that month.

Most couples can plan their own wedding. What usually goes wrong is not the decisions but the coordination: who owns which task, what has already been agreed, and where the current numbers live. A full-service planner solves that by taking it over. A system like Planned Chaos solves it by giving you the structure and leaving the decisions with you, at a fraction of the cost.
-
$19.99 a month at the beta rate, month to month, and you can cancel any time. It goes to $29.99 a month after the official release. That covers all three tools, an individual 20-minute consultation with Morgan after six months of membership, and every template released while you are a member. There is no separate charge per tool, and people on the waitlist lock in the beta rate.
-
After six months of membership, Morgan will contact you to arrange an individual 20-minute consultation. The call is focused on one specific question, decision, or issue you are facing. You can share that topic with Morgan before the call so the time goes straight to it. This is not a review of your entire wedding plan, timeline, or ceremony.
-
The Google Guide is built for Google Sheets and Docs, because most couples already have them and can share access in one click. The Conversation Guide and the AI Tool work regardless of what you use.
-
No. The Google Guide includes a way to move what you have into the shared structure without retyping it. Start with the file you already trust.
-
A checklist tells you what to do. It does not say who owns each task, what has been decided, or where the current version lives, which is where most plans actually break down. Planned Chaos connects the budget, guest list, vendors, contracts, and deadlines into one plan that another person can pick up and follow.
-
Yes, the plan is made to be shared. Your Planned Chaos membership and login are for one person, but the Google Guide shows you how to set up your budget, guest list, vendors, and timeline in Google Sheets and Docs so your partner, parents, wedding party, and anyone else helping can see the information they need, without a Planned Chaos membership of their own.
-
No. Planned Chaos gives you structure, questions, and a place to keep the answers. For contracts, taxes, or disputes, confirm with a qualified professional.
-
You can cancel any time, and access runs to the end of that month. Your copies of every document stay yours, in your own Google account. Access to the portal and to future updates ends when your membership does.
-
Beta access opens at the end of November. The three free tools go out to the waitlist before then, one at a time, as each is finished.
