Have a backup plan
I think that Zola might be a nice one stop option for large venues, large gatherings, many people traveling. However, if your big day has an intimate in person presence, and the majority of your friends and family are not personally traveling to your event, or if you are counting on a live-streaming your once in a lifetime, never to be repeated special day...do NOT count on Zola to deliver. After 45 minutes of waiting and calls to Zola support, the wedding proceeded without a Zoom connection. According to Zola support, they could not see why THEY couldn't start the live-stream. Or log into THEIR zoom account. Imagine the disappointment felt by elderly grandparents that are too frail to travel, or friends that couldn't afford to be there personally. All of whom felt comforted that they would be able to share this event from hospitals/homes, and be a part of this special day. Oh, and the bride and groom paid extra for this failed service. All I can say, is you'd be better off to have your cousin that is in IT create your own personal zoom connection to share your special day.
