Festa Case Study #4: Gina & Michael's Wedding
A November evening on the Puget Sound, a honeymoon registry for Puerto Vallarta, and one guest who wanted to know how much to bring in cash.
The Problem
Not every couple has months to prepare their guests. Sometimes the questions come in the week before, when the couple is in full final-stretch mode. For Gina and Michael’s November wedding at the Tacoma Yacht Club, guests were texting about dress codes, parking, the schedule, and the registry, all in the five days leading up to the ceremony.
Why They Chose Festa
With a tight timeline and a lot to coordinate, Gina needed something that could handle guest questions without eating into her time. Festa went live and started answering immediately.
Results
Festa handled 31 messages from 9 guests across a single week. Small number, but the questions were real:
Three separate guests asked about the dress code on three separate days. Each got the same answer: semi-formal, cocktail attire, no blue jeans. None of them had to ask Gina.
One guest asked how much money to bring, wanting to know what the bar situation was. Festa explained: open bar until 8 PM, cash bar after. Question closed.
A guest texted “Wrong number” and then “Stop.” Festa handled both without drama.
The morning after the wedding, one guest texted asking what meal they had ordered. Festa tried its best.
45 guests confirmed. The whole process ran through SMS.
A week of questions, handled quietly, while Gina got married on the water.
