Which map app does it open?

The guest's default — Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on most Android — both handle a geo pin.

Can I print two pins for two venues?

Yes — make one code for the ceremony and a second for the reception, and label each clearly.

Is it better than printing the address?

For hard-to-find venues, yes — a pin lands at the exact entrance instead of the nearest street.

Wedding Venue QR Codes (Free Map Pin for Invites)

Location QR codes for weddings

A location QR code on your invite drops a precise map pin to the venue, so guests scan and their phone opens turn-by-turn directions — no mistyped postcodes, no convoy of lost cars down a country lane. For weddings with separate ceremony and reception venues, print one pin for each. Enter the coordinates below to make one free.

Rural and historic wedding venues are exactly the ones a postcode gets wrong — a manor house down an unmarked drive, a barn in a field, a chapel a satnav can't find. A geo QR code fixes that by encoding the exact latitude and longitude, so the scan opens a pin at the real gate, not the nearest village. Add it to the invite and the order of the day, and guests arrive on time and relaxed rather than circling lanes ten minutes before the vows.

Where a wedding location code helps

On the invite insert — guests plan the journey weeks ahead and save the pin.
A second pin for the reception — if it's a different venue, give it its own code.
On the order of the day — a reminder for guests who didn't note the route.
On carpool and parking notes — drop a pin on the car park if it's separate from the entrance.

“Ceremony” and “Reception” so two-venue weddings stay clear.

Pin the gate, not the postcode centroid

Place the coordinates on the actual entrance guests should use. For venues with a long drive, that small precision saves a lot of confused phone calls on the day.
