# Online Wedding Compendiums Google Compiled a Complete Guide for Wedding Planning Services By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-06-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-planning-service References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/06/google-weddings-wedding-planning-service.html) & [google](http://www.google.com/weddings/) Following the implementation of [IKEA's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-search-2) virtual wedding service, [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-7) is now making it easier to find wedding planning services across the Internet. Rather than having people filter through thousands of results on its search engine, or introduce a new service, Google introduced a new page where couples can easily make use of existing services. For instance, when it comes to sharing news about plans to get married, Google suggests hosting a Hangout. Once it's time to scope out a venue, Google puts forth Google Maps and Google Sheets for [setting up a budget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-budget-spreadsheet). Google seems to want to prove that with all of these cloud-based services, planning a wedding is so easy, you may not even need to enlist the help of a professional planner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Wedding Services:** The rise of virtual wedding services, like IKEA's and Google's, offers opportunities for innovative solutions in the wedding industry. - **Cloud-based Wedding Planning:** The use of cloud-based services, such as Google's offerings, presents disruptive innovation potential for streamlining wedding planning processes. - **Tech-enabled Wedding Coordination:** Tech-enabled wedding coordination tools, like Google Hangout and Google Sheets, open doors for technological advancements in the event planning sector. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wedding Planning Services:** The wedding planning services industry can capitalize on the trend of virtual and cloud-based solutions to enhance efficiency and customer experience. - **Technology and Software:** The technology and software industry has opportunities to develop innovative tools and platforms specifically tailored for wedding planning and coordination. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can leverage technology, such as virtual services and cloud-based tools, to revolutionize the way weddings and other events are coordinated and executed. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wedding Planning Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-celebrate.md) - [2D/3D Wedding Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planner-5d.md) - [AI-Powered Wedding Planning Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-it-yours-by-the-knot.md) - [Virtual Wedding Planning Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-about-weddings.md) - [Digital Wedding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovebird.md) - [Digital Wedding Registry Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry.md) - [Groom-Targeted Wedding Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guide-for-grooms.md) - [All-In-One Wedding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davids-bridal-1.md) - [AI Wedding Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovers-ai.md)
