Company mission
To serve couples from the moment they get engaged all the way into newlywed life.
Our take
Zola is one of the most well-known and popular online wedding registries. It makes it easier for couples to build a gift registry by partnering with hundreds of brands, while also offering a range of other wedding related services such as guest list and invite planning, wedding website creation, and even wedding dress sales.
Since launching in 2013, the company has become one of the biggest disruptors in the growing wedding registry niche, just ahead of the likes of Honeyfund and Crate & Barrel. With the US wedding industry worth roughly $70, there’s plenty of profit to be made in this space, despite competition from giants like Amazon and Target.

Company values
- Everyone's Invited – It’s essential that our team represent our couples’ diverse experiences. We look for culture adds, not culture fits. But we do have a strict No A**hole policy
- Couples Come First – Across everything we do, we always ask ourselves, “How will this make life easier (and more fun) for our couples and their guests?”
- There’s Always A Way – The word “no” isn’t in our vocabulary. We believe every problem has a solution and we go above and beyond to find it
- Transparency Is Key – Three things we always do: speak up, welcome feedback, and own our mistakes. Because honesty and trust build extraordinary teams
