Who's behind it

Chris Schön, a developer in Münster

Chris is a developer and has run the agency redbeed in Münster since 2017.

He got married in Münster in 2022, with a celebrant-led ceremony at Gut Havichhorst. The first version of wedset came out of planning that wedding.

He was born Chris Woelk and took his wife's name when they married, because the name was just that schön (German for beautiful).

“Started for myself, designed for friends, made for everyone.”

How one couple's fix became wedset

First Chris built it for his own wedding. Then his sister planned her wedding with it. That turned into an app for friends, called wedset. When the work next to the agency and wedset got too much, his mother Petra stepped in.

Money

So how do we make money?

We don't run ads, don't take commission from vendors and don't sell data.

Prices and what the subscription includes

Your data

Your guest list lives in Germany

wedset runs at Hetzner, on servers in Germany.

Servers: Web server and database sit at Hetzner in Germany. That's where your guest list and your guests' replies are stored.
Photos and videos: Also at Hetzner in Germany, in object storage. For anyone who wants to know: it's S3 compatible.
Stats: We count visits to our pages with Plausible, based in Estonia. No cookies and no user profiles.
AI: We write code with AI agents like Claude Code. Your data from the app isn't shared in the process. When we look at where wedset helps and where it doesn't, the AI only sees numbers and records without names. The AI providers may also process data in the US.

How we do it

Names, addresses, guest lists, your guests' replies and photos never go to an AI service.

Email addresses are masked, so an address turns into something like c*****r@gmail.com.

The AI only has read access. It can't change anything in your data.

The providers may not use any of it to train their models.
