RUNDOWN VS TIMELINE GENIUS
Timeline Genius builds a strong day-of schedule and stops there. No guest lists, no budgets, no seating charts, no client pipeline. Rundown brings those pieces together, and the timeline still cascades when a time changes.
Start planning weddings in one place.
THE WEDDING, START TO FINISH
A timeline is one piece of a much bigger file.
Here is where planners tell us Timeline Genius stops helping, and where Rundown keeps going.
Booking
WITH TIMELINE GENIUS
No client pipeline, proposals, or contracts. Booking happens somewhere else entirely.

A pipeline with lead scoring, next best actions, and scope of services defined for each lead.
Planning

Text reminders go out on the day, a genuinely useful touch on top of the schedule.
