Meet Gather: The Official RSVP Partner of Make New Traditions: Live

Not all partnerships are a match made in heaven. This one is.

When we started planning Make New Traditions: Live — three sessions, 450 attendees, one very good day at Kachette on 4 October — we quickly ran into a problem every couple planning a wedding will recognise: how do you get the right information to all of your guests, at the right time, without losing your mind?

Session times. What to expect. What's included. The stuff people ask about, forget, and ask about again. You could do it with a chaos of emails and hope. Or you could use a platform built for exactly this.

So we did something we think more engaged couples should do: we chose a partner whose product we'd actually use if we were planning our wedding all over again. Gather is the official RSVP partner of Make New Trafitions: Live — and it's also the platform we're using to communicate with our guests.

Which means if you're coming to MNT: Live, you won't just hear about Gather. You'll experience it — as a guest. Consider it a test drive for your own wedding, except we're the ones doing the admin.

What is Gather?

Gather is a UK-based digital RSVP and guest management platform. In plain English: it's the thing that saves you from the group chat.

Every guest gets their own personalised digital hub — their invitation, their RSVP, their menu choices, dietary requirements, travel info, accommodation options and itinerary, all in one place. No app to download. No login to forget. Guests only see the events they're actually invited to, and the host watches the guest list update in real time.

How we're using Gather to enhance your Make New Traditions: Live experience

Here's what our ticket holders will get through Gather in the run-up to October:

Everything in one place. Your session time, the address, how to get to Kachette, what happens when you arrive — one link, always up to date. No scrolling back through emails from three months ago.

Updates that actually reach you. When we add something to the day (and we will — we can't help ourselves), you'll know. Gather lets us message everyone, or just the people it applies to, without a single bcc field.

The right info for the right session. Three sessions, three sets of people. Gather shows you yours. Nobody turns up at the wrong time because they skimmed a group email.

And honestly? Setting it up was the easy bit. Which is why we need to tell you about it.

Why it works even better for your wedding

Now scale that up to the most information-heavy event most people will ever host. A wedding isn't one message to one guest list — it's menu choices, dietary requirements, plus-ones, ceremony-only versus all-day invites, hen and stag details, accommodation blocks, taxi numbers, gift information, and a hundred tiny questions arriving by text at odd hours.

Gather was built for exactly this:

Personalised invitations. Evening guests see evening details. All-dayers see the lot. Nobody gets information that isn't meant for them — and nobody has to have that conversation.

Answers before the questions. Travel, parking, accommodation, timings, FAQs — it all lives in each guest's hub, which means it doesn't live in your inbox.

Supplier-ready data. When your caterer needs final numbers and allergen info, you export it. Done. No spreadsheet archaeology at 11pm on a Tuesday.

It plays nicely with paper. If you love printed stationery (we do too), add a QR code or your unique link to your invites, or order matching Gather cards to slip in alongside them. Tradition and technology, holding hands.

And it comes from the team behind Prezola — fifteen years of building wedding tech people actually use and like. It's free to start, with full guest management from £99, which is less than most couples spend on RSVP cards and stamps.

Try it before your wedding does

This is the bit we love most about the partnership: if you're coming to MNT: Live, you'll know exactly what Gather feels like from the guest side before you ever set it up as a host. If your experience as our guest is smooth — and it will be — imagine what it does for yours.

Come and find the Gather team on the day. Bring your questions. Bring your seating chart trauma.

MNT: Live happens on 4 October 2026 at Kachette, Shoreditch, across three sessions of 150 couples each. Get your tickets below:
