A Wedding Planner’s New Best Friend: Your Free Mobile Rolodex

By Tria Chang on

Hello Timeline Geniuses!

We can barely contain our excitement – we have a new Timeline Genius feature that is FREE for everyone to use, one and all! Allow us to introduce, the Timeline Genius Mobile Rolodex:

After receiving enthusiastic feedback from our user base, we’re answering the call to provide an easy way to store all of your event contacts. I’m a bit embarrassed to say, but as a wedding planner, my method for keeping track of contacts was to sit down a week before the wedding, go through all contracts and emails, and add every relevant party to my phone’s address book. As a result, my contact list is full of miscellaneous best men, maids of honor, caricature artists etc, and not in an organized fashion!

With TG’s Mobile Rolodex, you can now keep track of all of your vendors, venues, and clients in one, perfectly organized place.

If you already use Timeline Genius to create your timelines, all of the vendor contacts you’ve entered automatically appear in your mobile rolodex. Just go to timelinegenius.com/rolodex and log in!

If you’re new to Timeline Genius, simply create a login and start entering contacts. You’ll be able to log in anytime to have all of your wedding contacts at your fingertips. You can search for who you need to reach, and then with just a tap: call, text, email, or navigate to them!

We know that working in events is no easy task, so we’re on a mission to do everything we can to help. Consider this Mobile Rolodex our gift to you – we hope you enjoy!
