Results from GPT-4o · Tested Feb 15, 2026Claude
Excels at emotionally authentic writing and vendor evaluation. Writes vows that sound genuinely personal, and its vendor consultation questions uncover reliability issues before you sign a contract.
Results from Claude 3.5 Sonnet · Tested Feb 15, 2026Grok
Best for budget-conscious creative wedding alternatives that challenge overpriced industry norms. Suggests clever cost-cutting swaps and unconventional venue ideas without sacrificing the celebration. Less polished for formal, traditional wedding planning where etiquette and convention are priorities.
Results from Grok 2 · Tested Feb 15, 2026Prioritize before you plan. Ask the AI to help you rank what matters most to you as a couple. Spending decisions become dramatically easier when you know your top three non-negotiables.
Build your timeline around photography, not the other way around. Golden hour does not wait. Give the AI your sunset time and let it schedule everything else around your best photo opportunity.
Get everything in writing, especially the things vendors promise verbally. Use AI to draft contract addendums for verbal agreements. If a vendor promised something in a meeting, it should be in the contract before you sign.
