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 $70.3B, there’s plenty of profit to be made in this space, despite competition from giants like Amazon and Target.
