Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An East African wedding platform that combines guest lists, QR entry, budgets, contributions, vendors, and a guest-facing wedding website.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The Gate List organizes a wedding around shared responsibilities rather than treating it as a couple-only event: the treasurer, committee, caterer, MC, and door team can work from the same records. Its examples include planned, committed, and paid expenses; pledged and received contributions tied to M-Pesa references; and offline entry scanning for a headcount. The site also describes WhatsApp, printed, and phone RSVPs, plus a free first event capped at 50 guests.
