You'll hit a moment while building your site where you know exactly what you want to share but have nowhere to put it. Maybe it's your ceremony traditions. Maybe it's a dress code that needs more than a line of text. Maybe it's something personal that just deserves its own space. A custom page is a blank canvas for exactly that. Build as many as you need, and fill each one however you want.
A little inspo
A few things people have put on custom pages:
A guide to their wedding ceremony traditions
Dress code details, with photos for inspiration
A weekend itinerary for out-of-town guests
Restaurant picks for the area
A page dedicated to a specific sub-event, like a welcome dinner or morning-after brunch
A relationship timeline with photos
A page dedicated to someone who couldn't be there
Creating a Custom Page
From your Event Dashboard, hover over Website, click the arrow, and select + Add New Page.
Enter a name for your page.
Click Create Page.
You'll land in the page editor, with a panel on the left showing all the content blocks available.
Adding Content
Every piece of content on a custom page is a block. Click + Add Content at the bottom of the left panel to add as many blocks as you want, in any order. You can mix and match freely.
Text
Use a text block to write a header, an intro, body copy, or any note you want guests to read.
Click Text from the left panel.
Type your content into the text field. Use the toolbar to format with bold, italics, underline, headings, links, or paragraph alignment.
Click Save.
Tip: Text blocks work well as section headers. Add one before a group of hotel picks or local recommendations to help guests navigate the page.
Photos and Video
To add photos, a gallery, or a video, click Photo / Video / Gallery from the left panel. For full instructions on photos and galleries, see How to Add Photos and Albums. For video, see Adding a Video.
Place to Stay
Recommend a specific hotel with a photo, a booking link, and a personal note.
Click Place to Stay from the left panel.
Type a hotel name into the Search for a hotel field and select it from the results. The Name and Location fields will populate automatically.
Enter a booking URL in the Link field.
Click Add Photo to upload an image. Once a photo is added, choose a display layout: Flashlight, Side by side simple, Side by side elegant, or Full width photo.
Add a note in the Note for Guests field (up to 1500 characters).
Click Save.
You can add as many hotels as you'd like. Each one becomes its own card on the page.
Note: If hotel recommendations are a major part of your site, Joy's dedicated Where to Stay page is built specifically for that, with venue-based suggestions, room blocks, and booking integrations.
Booking Assistant
The Booking Assistant lets guests search for and book hotels near your venue directly from your page. There are two modes.
Simple Mode
Simple Mode displays a hotel search widget. Guests can search by location, dates, and number of guests.
Click Booking Assistant from the left panel.
Select Simple Mode.
Enter a location in the Search near field.

Optionally upload a Background Photo and choose a Photo Layout.

Click Booking Assistant from the left panel.
Select Advanced Mode.
Under Customize Hotel Display, choose a layout: Simple Hotel List or Hotel Tiles Carousel.
Toggle Show prices for suggested hotels and Show photo for each hotel on or off.
Under Curate Hotel Selection, set price range, minimum customer rating, and minimum hotel star rating to filter which hotels appear.
Click Save.
Thing to Do
Share a local recommendation: an attraction, restaurant, bar, brewery, activity, or more.
Click Thing to Do from the left panel.
Select a Category from the dropdown (options include Attraction, Activity, Bar, Beach, Breakfast, Brewery, and more).
Enter a name in the Name field.
Add a personal note in the Personal Note field.
Optionally, add a website URL and a photo.
Click Save.
You can add as many entries as you'd like. Use Text blocks to group them into sections, for example "Places to Eat" or "Activities."
Managing Your Content
Once you've added content, you can rearrange or remove anything from the left panel.
Drag the grip icon on the left of any block to reorder it.
Click the trash icon to delete a block.
Click a block's name to open and edit it.
