.wedding Domain Registrationfrom £50.40/yr
Why Choose a .wedding Domain?
The .wedding extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to one of the largest service industries in the world, where couples, planners and venues all compete for online attention. Unlike a generic .com, the name itself signals exactly what the site is about, which is genuinely useful for a sector built around a single life event.
Ideal for:
- Couples building a wedding website to share details with guests
- Wedding planners and event coordinators
- Venues, country houses and barn conversions hosting ceremonies
- Photographers, florists, cake makers and bridal boutiques
- Stationery designers and invitation studios
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .wedding domain without proof of an upcoming wedding or trade.
- Identity Digital reserves a tier of premium names (common first-name pairings, popular venues, generic terms) which renew at the premium rate every year.
- Registration is available in one-year increments up to ten years.

Frequently asked questions about .wedding
Anyone. There are no eligibility restrictions, so couples, planners, venues, suppliers and businesses anywhere in the world can register one. You don't need to prove a wedding date or operate in the wedding industry. Many couples register a .wedding name for a single year just to share plans and details with guests.
You can register a .wedding name for any term between one and ten years. Couples often pick a single year because they only need the site running until after the big day, while planners and venues usually register for longer terms to lock in the name and avoid the risk of forgetting to renew.
Yes. As long as the domain is more than 60 days old, not within 60 days of a previous transfer, and unlocked at your current registrar, you can move it across. You'll need the EPP authorisation code from your existing provider. The transfer extends your registration by a year and keeps your existing expiry date intact.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. It then moves into a redemption phase of around 30 days where recovery is possible but carries an additional registry fee. After that the name is released and anyone can register it, so renewing on time is the safer route.
