I should have asked this question on HN b/c I just got married 2 weeks ago! We hired a wedding planner but my wife and I used the following "tech":

- https://www.greenvelope.com - we wanted to get the word out fast so we used electronic save the dates and wedding invitations

- PayPal - different vendors accepted different payment methods so we used PayPal to manage most of it

- Google Spreadsheets - we listed out table seating, meal options, gifts and more and shared with our wedding planner and other family members

- https://soundwaveprosdj.com - this is our DJ's site which allowed us to find and select specific songs. For example, I selected a string quartet version of Guns and Roses Sweet Child of Mine when walking down the isle

- Yelp - that's how we found our wedding planner and my tuxedo shop

- YouTube - we live-streamed our wedding ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6p9OA33E8M

- Marriott - we did a wedding room block at the Marriott but in order for guests to book a room online, they sent us a link where the dates and pricing were exposed in plain-text as query string parameters. Sure enough if you changed one of these param values, the web page would show it!
