An app for wedding planning has now been launched as its co-founders credited the business support they’ve received.
Wed Plnr has been given a full launch following a ‘soft’ trial in October by owners Cate Conway and Saima Akram.
The pair set up boutique wedding fair Quirky Weddings in 2011 but identified a need for an app which could help for planning the big day.
And they said the help of the Ulster Bank Entrepreneur Accelerator Programme was indispensable with identifying sources of financial support.
It also received £45,000 from seed capital investor Techstart Ventures, with £30,000 awarded by Invest NI’s Ambition to Grow programme.
Cate, who’s the co-presenter of the Radio Ulster programme Vinny & Cate, said: “It has been quite the journey to get to the launch stage, but it would not have been possible without the help of our supporters and funders.”
She said the app helped vendors find a broader audience and manage interaction with potential customers more efficiently.
