Bulk SMS for events, weddings and event planners
Invite guests, collect contributions and share last-minute changes in minutes. DARSMS helps event planners, wedding committees, conference organisers and venues reach every guest by SMS.
Why event organizers use SMS
Event communication runs on deadlines: invitations, contribution drives, RSVP dates, venue changes and reminders on the day. SMS reaches every guest regardless of phone type, and a single campaign can go to hundreds of people at once.
Wedding and send-off committees in Tanzania use bulk SMS to invite members to michango meetings, remind pledgers of their commitments and share the programme. Personalised messages from an Excel list can include each guest's name and pledge amount.
Conference and corporate event organisers use SMS for registration confirmations, agenda updates and directions, and schedule reminders in advance so they go out at the right time.

How DARSMS helps event organizers
Schedule in advance
Write reminders once and schedule them for the right day and time, so nothing depends on someone remembering to press send.
Personalised invitations
Import your guest list from Excel and include each guest's name, table or pledge amount in the message.
Instant updates
If the venue or time changes, every guest gets the update within minutes, not after a chain of phone calls.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send wedding contribution reminders by SMS?
Yes. Import your list of pledgers with names and amounts from Excel and send each person a personalised reminder. Many committees send one reminder before each michango meeting.
Do I need a company to use DARSMS for an event?
No. Individuals and committees can register, buy a small bundle of SMS credits with mobile money and send from the dashboard. You can start with the default DARSMS sender or request your own Sender ID.
Can I schedule a reminder for the morning of the event?
Yes. Choose the date and time when you create the campaign and DARSMS sends it automatically.
