How do I find a wedding website if the couple has changed their names?

Short answer

Search using both the couple's current names and their previous names, especially the bride's maiden name. If they changed names after marrying, the website was likely created before the change, so the old names may work better. Ask the couple if you are unsure.

Couples often build their wedding website before the wedding, using the names they have at that time. If one partner has changed their name since, the website address may still use the old name. So start by searching the names you knew before the wedding, such as the bride's maiden name or the groom's previous surname.

Try several combinations. Search "old name and new name wedding", then swap the order. Search just first names with the venue or the date. If the couple changed names after the wedding, the website may have been updated, but the original link may still work. If you have an old invitation or email, check that first because it will have the original link.

If the couple has changed names for other reasons, such as a legal name change unrelated to marriage, the same advice applies. Use any name you know they have used. And remember that the website might be private, so searching will not help. The most reliable way is to ask the couple directly or ask a close friend or family member. They will know the current link and can share it with you.
