Location, countdown & weather
Add the practical details guests look for: a map and directions to your venue, a live countdown to the big day, and a weather forecast — all from your page builder.

Beyond the cover photo and the RSVP button, there are a few small sections that do a lot of quiet work on your event page. They tell guests how to get there, how long until the doors open, and whether to pack an umbrella. You turn each one on in the page builder, and they fill themselves in from details you've already entered.
This guide covers four of them:
Open your event, go to Event page → Customize page, and select Add Section to drop any of these onto your page. You can reorder them by dragging, and select any section to open its settings.
The location section shows guests your venue — its name and address — alongside a map and a one-tap Get directions button that opens Google Maps on their phone. It's the section guests reach for on the day, so it's worth getting right.
The location section pulls from the venue you've saved for the event, so set that first:
Go to Details in your event dashboard and find the Location block.
Start typing the venue name or address and pick the match from the suggestions. Rendezvous fills in the full address and pins it on the map for you. You can nudge the pin to fine-tune the exact spot.
Save your details. Now any location section on your page has something to show.
In the page builder, select Add Section and choose Location.
Select the section to open its settings. You can toggle:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show map | Shows a map alongside the address (on by default) |
| Show directions | Adds the Get directions button that opens Google Maps (on by default) |
| Heading | The title above the section, like "Where to find us" |
You can also add a short note under the address — perfect for "Parking is around the back" or "Enter through the garden gate."
Some themes also offer an Add to calendar button right in the location section. When it's switched on, guests tap it to drop your event — date, time, venue, and description — straight into their calendar, so it's the surest way to make sure nobody forgets the date. If you don't see the option in your theme's location settings, your event details (especially the start time) still power the rest of the section, and you can always remind guests in a broadcast.
The countdown is a live timer that counts down to your event's start time — days, hours, and minutes — and it updates on its own as the date gets closer. It's a simple way to build a little anticipation on the page.
In the page builder, select Add Section and choose Countdown.
Select the section to set its heading (like "Counting down" or "See you in") and choose whether to show the Days / Hours / Minutes labels and the separators between them. That's it — the numbers come straight from your event's start time.
The weather section shows guests a forecast for your event — a temperature, conditions, and a matching icon — pinned to your venue and your date. It's a thoughtful touch for an outdoor wedding, a garden party, or anything where guests want to know whether to bring a jacket.
The forecast fills in automatically once your venue has a location set, so the easiest path is: set your venue, add the section, done.
Weather is location-based, so it needs a venue with a pin on the map. If you've set your location for the map and directions, you're already covered — same venue, no extra step.
In the page builder, select Add Section and choose Weather. Once your event is close enough, the forecast appears on its own.
In the section settings, choose Celsius or Fahrenheit to match your guests, and set a heading like "What to expect."
Don't want to rely on the automatic forecast — or planning far enough ahead that no real forecast exists yet? You can set the weather by hand. In the weather section's settings, fill in the temperature and pick the conditions (Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy, or Windy) — the matching weather icon follows automatically from the condition you choose. A manual forecast always takes priority over the automatic one, so whatever you set is exactly what guests see.
This is handy when:
The little practical questions — What do I wear? Where do I park? Can I bring the kids? — have a home of their own. On the Details page, the Event Facts block gives you four real fields:
| Field | What it answers | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Dress code | What to wear | "Cocktail attire" |
| Parking | Where to park | "Free on-site lot; valet from 6pm" |
| Kids | Whether children are welcome | "Children welcome; supervised play area" |
| Age policy | Any age restriction | "Adults only (18+)" |
Whatever you fill in shows up in the Quick Details section on your page — and nowhere else needs touching.
To show them, add a Quick Details section to your page from the builder. It fills itself from your Event Facts, so there's nothing to copy in by hand — set a fact on the Details page and it appears. You can still add extra one-off rows directly in the Quick Details section settings if you want details beyond the four facts.
Open a detail in the Quick Details section settings and you'll find an Icon picker — a grid of the glyphs themselves (calendar, clock, location, heart, gift, food, drinks, dress code, and more). Pick one and it belongs to that card: reorder your details and the icon travels with its card instead of staying put.
Leave it on Automatic and the section keeps choosing for you, exactly as it always has. Choose None for a card that reads better without a glyph. The same picker is on each Travel & Stay card, where Automatic reads the card's own words — "Parking" gets a car, "Public transit" a train, a hotel a bed.
These three pair naturally with the rest of your page. A common rhythm is: cover photo, a short welcome, the countdown to build excitement, the schedule so guests know the plan, the location with the map, and the weather so they know how to dress.
