How to use ChatGPT and NotebookLM to plan your wedding calmly
Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming.
Too many ideas, too many opinions, too many tabs open in your browser.
This page exists for one simple reason:
to help you use very simple AI tools as a support, not as something complicated or technical.
You don’t need to be good with technology.
You don’t need to study anything.
You just need clear guidance.
Why I suggest using simple AI tools
After working for many years with international couples getting married in Italy, I noticed the same pattern again and again:
• confusion instead of clarity
• stress instead of excitement
• too many thoughts, not enough structure
Tools like ChatGPT and NotebookLM, when used gently and correctly, can help you:
• organize ideas
• prepare better questions
• reduce anxiety
• feel more confident about your choices
They don’t replace human support.
They support you between conversations.
ChatGPT: your calm planning assistant
You can think of ChatGPT as a very patient assistant you can talk to in normal language.
You don’t need to know how it works.
You simply write what’s in your head.
Example 1 – Clarifying your vision
You can write something like:
“We are an international couple getting married in Italy.
We like a natural and elegant style, nothing too formal.
Can you help me understand what kind of wedding we are imagining?”
ChatGPT helps you put vague feelings into clear words.
Example 2 – Preparing questions for suppliers
Instead of feeling unsure before a call, you can ask:
“What questions should I ask a wedding photographer in Italy before booking?”
or
“What are important things to clarify with a wedding venue?”
This helps you feel prepared and confident, even if this is your first wedding.
Example 4 – Reducing stress
Yes, you can even write this:
“I feel overwhelmed by wedding planning.
Can you help me organize my thoughts?”
Many couples find this surprisingly helpful.
Example 3 – Writing messages and emails
If writing in English or Italian feels stressful, you can ask:
“Can you help me write a kind message to explain our wedding style to our guests?”
or
“Write a polite email to a supplier asking for availability and pricing.”
You always stay in control.
ChatGPT only helps you express yourself more easily.
You are never alone using these tools
You are not expected to figure this out on your own.
I often:
• show couples the basics during a call
• write the first prompts together
• help them understand how to use these tools simply
If something feels confusing, it’s not a problem.
That’s exactly why guidance matters.
What this gives you on your wedding day
Couples who use this approach usually arrive at their wedding day feeling:
• calmer
• more confident
• clearer about their choices
• less worried about details
This makes the whole experience more relaxed.
And relaxed couples create the most beautiful, natural memories.
A human-first approach
This is not about technology.
It’s about support, clarity, and emotional space.
AI is only a quiet helper in the background.
Your wedding remains real.
Your emotions remain real.
Your memories remain real.
If this feels right for you
If you like the idea of planning your destination wedding with more clarity and less stress,
we can talk and see if this approach fits you.
No pressure.
Just an honest conversation.
No tech skills needed. Just simple guidance to help you feel more confident.
NotebookLM: your intelligent wedding notebook
NotebookLM is useful when you already have documents and information and want help understanding them.
You can upload things like:
• contracts
• PDFs from venues
• emails
• personal notes
Then you ask questions only about your own documents.
Example 1 – Understanding a contract
After uploading a venue contract, you can ask:
“Can you summarize what is included and what is not included in this contract?”
This is especially helpful if:
• English is not your first language
• documents feel long and confusing
Example 2 – Keeping everything in one place
Instead of searching through emails and folders, NotebookLM becomes your central planning space.
You can ask:
“What are the most important things I need to remember from these documents?”
Clarity replaces chaos.
Example 3 – Seeing the big picture
After uploading several notes and documents, you can ask:
“Based on everything here, how would you describe the wedding we are planning?”
This helps you feel grounded and aligned again.
