Harpsen alternative

A Harpsen alternative for wedding planners.

Harpsen is a CRM for wedding planners: proposals, e-signed contracts, Stripe payments, workflows and a live day-of timeline. Its pages list a guest list but no RSVP or rooms. Kruspin is built for that side of the wedding and leaves contracts and payments to a tool like Harpsen.

Wedding seating plan: barn floor plan with tables, guests without a table, and meal totals
Seating plan on a phone: barn floor plan and meal totals
From the sample wedding that comes with every new account.

The short answer

Choose by the work you do most.

Kruspin fits if you

  • collect RSVPs, meals and allergies on each guest
  • assign rooms night by night
  • send each vendor their own document, not only a shared timeline link
  • keep contracts and payments in another tool

Not built for proposals, contracts or payments

Harpsen fits if you

  • want proposals, contracts, payment plans and Stripe payments in one place
  • want workflows that send emails and questionnaires on their own
  • shift the timeline live on the day and have every shared link update
  • give vendors their own portal for shared files

How we checked

We read each company's public homepage, feature, pricing and help pages on November 3, 2026. “Not listed” means we didn't find the feature there, not that it's missing from the product. Features change, so check their sites too. If you work at one of these companies and something here is wrong or out of date, write to [email protected] and we'll correct it.

Day to day

What you stop doing by hand.

  1. 01Guests and RSVP

    One RSVP updates the seating chart and the kitchen count.

    The answer, the meal choice and any allergy are saved on the guest. At the table you see who still hasn't replied, and the caterer's counts come from the same record.

    Seating plan with guests at tables, alerts for missing responses and meal totals
    Seating plan on a phone: barn floor plan with all tables, table 5 selected, and meal totals by menu below the plan
  2. 02Rooms

    Rooms assigned night by night.

    Friday arrivals and Saturday stays are planned separately. The front desk gets an alphabetical list with every guest's room for each night, including who changes rooms.

    Main House 08 by night on a phone: 3 of 4 beds occupied on Friday, 4 of 4 on Saturday, Alice Carter for Saturday only
  3. 03Vendors

    Every vendor gets their own version of the day.

    The DJ's copy has the shared schedule plus the DJ's own cues. Servers get the table map with seat numbers and each guest's meal. Send it as a PDF or a link.

Switching

Move one wedding first.

  1. Start with your next booked wedding

    Finish the weddings already in progress where they are. The two tools don't sync.

  2. Upload the guest list

    Export it as CSV or Excel, upload it and match the columns in the preview.

  3. Invite the couple when you're ready

    They add guests and responses themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about switching from Harpsen.

Didn't find your answer? Write to us through support.

Can I use Kruspin next to Harpsen?

Yes. Harpsen keeps proposals, contracts and payments; Kruspin holds guests, seating, rooms and vendor documents. The two don't sync, so a booked couple is added to Kruspin by hand.

Does Kruspin handle contracts and payments?

No. Kruspin tracks the budget, vendor deposits and a payment plan, but it doesn't send contracts for e-signature, issue invoices or take card payments. Keep the tool you use for that today.

Can I bring guest lists from Harpsen?

Yes, if your current tool or spreadsheet exports them. Upload a CSV or XLSX file, or paste rows, and match the columns in the preview. It's a one-time import; nothing syncs back.

Can my couples log in?

Yes. Invite them by email when you want them to add guests and responses themselves. They work in the same wedding, without your internal threads and tasks, and they can see the budget but not change prices or payments.

What happens after I create an account?

Your account opens with a sample wedding that already has guests, a seating chart, rooms and vendor documents, so you can try things before you set up your own.
