Frequently asked questions
What is a wedding countdown timer?
A wedding countdown timer helps planners, coordinators, vendors, and hosts manage ceremony starts, reception transitions, speeches, dinner service, and other wedding day timing cues.
Can this be used for wedding speeches?
Yes. The speech slot preset gives speakers a visible 5-minute countdown, and you can reset or choose another length as needed.
Should guests see the timer?
Usually no. Wedding timers are often best used by coordinators, DJs, venue staff, or speakers rather than placed on a guest-facing screen.
