Describe & Generate a Timeline

Don't want to add items one by one? Describe your event and we'll generate a full timeline for you.

How it works

Go to the Describe & Generate page or click "Describe Your Event" in the editor. You'll see a text box where you can describe your event in plain English.

Write something like:

"Outdoor garden wedding for 150 guests. Ceremony at 4pm, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, first dance, and dancing until 11pm. We have a DJ, not a band. There's a sunset photo session planned."

The more detail you give, the better the result. Include:

  • Type of event
  • Number of guests
  • Start and end times
  • Key moments you definitely want included
  • Any vendors or specific activities

What you get back

You get back a complete timeline with realistic times, task names, and descriptions. A typical wedding produces 15-25 items. A corporate event, 10-15.

The result lands directly in the editor. Every item is editable — change times, rename tasks, delete things that don't apply, add things that were missed.

Tips for better results

  • Be specific about timing — "ceremony at 4pm" gives better results than "afternoon ceremony"
  • Mention your venue — indoor vs outdoor affects the schedule (setup times, weather buffers)
  • Include transition times — if you know guests need to move between spaces, mention it
  • Don't worry about perfection — it's a starting point, not the final product

What's next

Now that you have a timeline full of items, customize how it looks with themes and layouts.
