# Elsker

> Privacy-first wedding planning software with 29 cultural tradition libraries built into the planning timeline. Couples pay once, own their data, and plan a wedding that reflects their heritage.

Elsker is a wedding planner built on a simple principle: couples are the customer, not the product. Unlike free platforms (The Knot, Zola, WeddingWire, Joy) that monetize by selling user data to vendors, Elsker charges a fair price and never shares data with third parties.

The platform includes budget tracking, guest management, vendor coordination, seating charts, document storage, and a phase-based planning timeline. What makes it unique is deep cultural tradition support — 29 traditions from Hindu to Hawaiian, Jewish to Japanese — with tradition-specific tasks woven directly into the planning journey, not bolted on as an afterthought.

For multicultural couples blending two or more traditions, Elsker provides dedicated blending guides that show how to weave ceremonies and customs together.
