What is Zennvue?
Zennvue is the AI-powered CRM and vendor marketplace for the creative event industry, built by Trunnion AI and launched in 2025. It serves wedding photographers, DJs, caterers, florists, planners, venues, and the engaged couples who hire them, replacing HoneyBook, Dubsado, Pixieset, DocuSign, Calendly, and Mailchimp with one platform.

What Zennvue does.
Zennvue is a software platform built specifically for the creative event industry. It bundles the tools that wedding and event vendors typically buy separately, including a CRM, a proposal builder, contract signing, invoicing, calendar scheduling, email and SMS marketing, gallery delivery, and analytics, into one application powered by 16+ AI features. On the customer side, Zennvue functions as a free wedding planning app and vendor marketplace where engaged couples discover, evaluate, and book vendors directly through the platform.
The two sides connect through a shared marketplace. When a couple creates a free Zennvue account and describes their wedding (date, location, guest count, style, budget), the AI engine matches them to a top 5 of vendors in each category. When a vendor receives an inquiry, the same AI engine scores it 1 to 100, drafts a personalized response in the vendor's brand voice, and generates a custom proposal within seconds. Contracts and payments flow through the same platform, eliminating the typical handoff between booking software, signature tools, and accounting systems.
Zennvue is the first event vendor CRM where the marketplace for getting new clients, the AI for converting them, and the tools for serving them all live on one platform with one login.
The four functions Zennvue performs
- Vendor CRM: Manage clients, events, contracts, invoices, calendars, and team coordination from one dashboard. Replaces HoneyBook, Dubsado, and 17hats.
- Vendor Marketplace: Get discovered by engaged couples actively searching for vendors. Replaces The Knot Pro and WeddingWire vendor listings.
- AI Engine: 16+ AI features including lead scoring, proposal generation, brand voice, churn prediction, and forecasting. Powered by Trunnion AI.
- Couple Planning App: Free wedding planning suite for engaged couples including AI vendor matching, budget planner, guest list, seating chart, and registry. Replaces The Knot, Zola, and WeddingWire planning tools.
Who Zennvue serves.
Zennvue is a two-sided platform with distinct experiences for event vendors and engaged couples. Both sides log in to the same platform but see different interfaces, tools, and data.
Event Vendors
Wedding and event service providers across 15+ categories. Most active customers run 30 to 100 events per year. Pricing $35 to $750 per month with a 14-day free trial.
Engaged Couples
Couples planning weddings (and sometimes engagement parties, vow renewals, and corporate events). Free forever for the planning suite plus marketplace access.
The 15+ vendor categories Zennvue supports
Zennvue covers the full event vendor ecosystem with vertical-specific tools per category. Photographers get gallery delivery and AI inquiry inboxes. DJs get song request pages and event timelines. Caterers get menu builders and dietary tracking. Florists get arrangement builders and seasonal flower databases. Planners get multi-client dashboards and vendor coordination. Venues get multi-space availability and F&B minimum tracking. Additional categories include videographers, officiants, hair and makeup artists, transportation, and more.
Trunnion AI multi-model orchestration.
Trunnion AI is Zennvue's in-house AI orchestration framework. Rather than locking into one AI provider, Trunnion routes each request to the best frontier model for the task, with automatic failover if one is degraded. Anthropic Claude is the primary model for proposal generation, lead scoring, and brand voice. OpenAI GPT-4 handles structured data extraction. Google Gemini handles multimodal tasks like document and image parsing.
The 16+ AI features include AI lead scoring (every inquiry scored 1 to 100 with reasoning), AI auto-response in your brand voice, AI proposal generation, AI seating chart optimization, AI vendor matching for couples, churn prediction, revenue forecasting, pricing optimization, and AI daily briefings. Average response time is under 2 seconds. None of your data is used to train external AI models. Read the full AI engine breakdown.
Zennvue uses enterprise AI endpoints with zero data retention. Your client data is never used to train Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google models. All AI calls run server-side under signed data protection agreements. See full security details.
Where vendors meet couples.
The Zennvue marketplace is the integrated discovery surface where engaged couples find and book vendors. Couples create a free account, describe their event, and the AI engine surfaces a personalized top 5 in each category they need (photographer, DJ, venue, etc.) with reasoning for each match.
Vendors get a free marketplace listing on every paid Zennvue plan. Optional Silver Membership ($299/month) and Gold Membership ($599/month) boost placement and AI matching priority. The marketplace charges a 2.9% platform fee on transactions, paid by the vendor through Stripe Connect. See how the marketplace works.
How the matching works
- Couple enters event details (date, location, guest count, style, budget) on the free customer plan
- Trunnion AI scores all available vendors in each category against the event profile
- Top 5 matches surface with reasoning ("budget aligned, available date, style match, top reviews")
- Couple browses, messages vendors, and books directly within Zennvue
- Contract signing and deposit collection happen on the same platform
Vendor plans, customer free.

What Zennvue replaces.
Zennvue is designed to replace the typical 6-tool stack that event vendors assemble manually. The economic argument: instead of paying $300+ per month across disconnected tools that do not share data, vendors pay $79 to $249 per month for one platform with everything integrated.
Tools Zennvue replaces
- HoneyBook ($35 to $129/month) CRM, proposals, contracts. See full comparison.
- Dubsado ($35 to $50/month) CRM, workflows, forms.
- Pixieset ($8 to $40/month) Photo gallery delivery for photographers.
- DocuSign ($15 to $40/month) Contract e-signatures.
- Calendly ($10 to $20/month) Booking and scheduling.
- Mailchimp ($20 to $50/month) Email marketing and newsletters.
- QuickBooks ($30 to $200/month) Invoicing and payment tracking (Zennvue handles invoicing; full bookkeeping still requires QuickBooks for many vendors).
For a solo vendor running on the Business plan, Zennvue typically saves $150 to $300 per month versus the equivalent assembled stack, plus eliminates the data-sync issues that come from manually moving information between disconnected tools.

The mission.
The wedding and event industry is dominated by software built before AI was practical. Vendors assemble Frankenstein stacks of 6+ tools that do not talk to each other. Couples search The Knot and WeddingWire directories that have not meaningfully changed in a decade. The economic and creative output of the event industry, hundreds of billions of dollars annually, runs on tooling that lags every other professional services category by 5 to 10 years.
Zennvue exists to fix this. By unifying the vendor CRM, the marketplace, and the AI engine on one platform, Zennvue reduces the operational friction that prevents great event professionals from scaling their businesses, and gives engaged couples a planning experience that actually uses the technology that already exists everywhere else in their lives.
