ONE of Clare’s longest established hotels is taking the lead in the in- formation age by being the first in Munster to launch an online wed- ding service which will prove a ma- jor money saver for couples planning their wedding
The four star Armada Hotel is of- fering the award winning Moposa software to its clients free of charge. And it reckons that the service can save couples over €/00 from the outset – a welcome bonus in the cur- rent climate.
The Moposa softare helps couples share more of the experience with friends and family, simplify the wed- ding planning process and save time and money along the way.
‘“Moposa will be of huge benefit as a communication tool and we look forward to seeing the benefits for our wedding couples,” said Saurabh Jain, Wedding Co-ordinator for the Armada Hotel.
Moposa was developed by Irish technology company Eventovate Ltd which was founded by brothers Jonathan and Jason Ruane who have extensive experience in software and business development.
“The objective of Moposa is to re- lieve the stress of planning a wed- ding so couples can focus on enjoy- ing every moment of the experience. The online service assists with eve- rything from the invitation lists, gift lists, budget, schedules and the all important seating planner and also increases communication between the hotel, couple and guests,” said Saurabh Jain. “Guests can also regis- ter online and RSVP directly, book a room in the hotel as well as check out weather forecasts and even get auto- mated, personalised driving direc- tions to the ceremony and reception.
“Couples receive their own per- sonal *.com’ wedding website so that their friends and family can share the wedding experience before and after the wedding day.
“We all love photos and Moposa allows guests to upload their photos and videos after the wedding so that the couple can view the many differ- ent pics taken from early on the day to late in the night. Another fantastic tool is Guestxt where couples may send free text messages to any or all of the guests and can use this to plan and organise a hen party or just to thank everyone for their presents the CPA VAR MEO ACORN.
