Making Every Wedding Perfect
Our Story
How Sonas got started
Back in 2014 Emmet Hannan was looking for software to help him run his multi-venue events business. Everything he found was either poorly built or only covered part of what his business needed. Then, over a family dinner in Ireland it was suggested he should talk to his nephew Mark, an experienced developer. One year later Mark had built an events management software with a special focus on weddings. It was named Sonas which means “happiness & good fortune” in Irish.
Since then Mark and co-founder Richard have expanded the company and evolved the software into one of the most complete wedding management solutions on the market. It is relied on by venues across both the UK and Ireland to ensure each and every wedding runs like clockwork.
Our Mission
Filling a Gap in the market
There are a lot of generic event management apps out there and a long list of wedding planner tools for couples. But very few of them focus on the venue's needs and almost none of them were built hand in hand with wedding venue owners. This is where Sonas finds its purpose.
Our goal is to create an ever more powerful solution for wedding venues. One that helps lighten the load through smart automations, that keeps staff and tasks synchronized and that unifies all communications in one place be they with suppliers, couples or team members. We want to make complex wedding planning simple. And we want to make every wedding perfect.
