We are a Seattle-based company that has been in business since 2009. During the first few years we operated on the West Coast only, but in early 2017 we received a round of financing and have since expanded to the rest of the US, and, most recently, Canada. We continue to grow quickly and plan to go overseas fairly soon.
Our growing team currently consists of designers, developers, writers, marketers, product managers and vendor managers. Many are located in the US, some are overseas, in Europe and Latin America.
Like many, we are passionate about weddings and bringing brides and vendors together to find the best match. However, what’s different about us is that we bring the latest in technology into the mix to make that process as easy and seamless as possible.
Our intelligent tools help engaged couples figure out exactly what they are looking for. We use computer vision, face recognition and other AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to learn our users tastes and preferences and match high quality leads with our premium (Silver, Gold and Platinum) vendors based on the users' tastes and budget. This highly increases the chances of the lead turning into a booking!
Yes, our Basic membership is absolutely free, no credit card required. That means you can add the information about your business to our catalog and our users will be able to see your profile when browsing all vendors in your specific category and location. In addition, users interested in your profile will be able to contact you via our messaging system.
However, vendors with free memberships are limited to a maximum of 1 free lead per month. In contrast, our vendors with premium accounts, can receive an unlimited number of free leads via our messaging system AND can be contacted directly via email and phone.
For the full list of benefits, visit our membership comparison table.
Website and social media links are displayed in all of our premium (Silver, Gold, Platimun) vendor profiles.
Each premium vendor will get a personalized monthly analytics report outlining the number of visitors, leads and conversions they have received over the past month, as well as how they compare to other vendors in their category and location.
Finally, our Platinum members can take advantage of a dedicated marketing manager, who works directly with the vendor on their profile and advertising campaign for best possible results.
You can definitely still get leads even with a free membership! We have a number of vendor accounts with free memberships who quickly hit their free lead limit each month and book weddings. Here are a few things you can do to help your profile visits turn into real leads:
Complete your profile: the more information you offer in your profile, the more interesting it looks to our users. A profile with no photographs or detailed business information will attract zero leads (even if you upgraded to a premium account and we sent thousands of visitors directly to that profile. It only takes a few minutes to set up a complete profile. You can also update the information and the photographs as many times as you like and check the analytics to see what works and what doesn’t. Note that for Basic accounts, we do not display your direct contact information (such as email, phone, website or social profiles) in your profile, but interested users will be able to contact you via our messaging system for free (so make sure to watch out for notifications from us when a new user sends you a message).
Ask your past clients for reviews: we constantly run user studies with our target audience (i.e. brides) and reviews come up as the #1 reason why, after reviewing a profile, a user actually reaches out to the vendor for a quote. Our analytics also agree – great profiles with reviews are at least 70% more likely to get a conversion compared to great profiles without them.
Boost Your Rank: make sure to complete the steps outlined in Boost Your Rank tab of your vendor dashboard once you register. Doing this will increase your placement in Googles search results and attract more visitors to your profile.
We advertise all of our premium vendors at the top of our business listing and in featured slots throughout our site and social media: wedding articles, wedding planning checklists, AI-powered planning tools, newsletters, Facebook, Instagram, forums and more!
In addition, our dedicated account managers work with our premium vendors directly to create better-looking SEO-optimized profiles and develop and promote online content.
Here are some of our past examples of such content we developed and promoted:
We offer listings across multiple regions to our Gold and Platinum accounts. You will be able to enroll in other nearby areas after you upgrade your membership.
Absolutely! There is no annual commitment and no cancelation fee.
Our phone number is (480) WE-WED-U-9 or (480) 939-3389. However, we limit phone support to our premium accounts in order to optimize both costs and support team's efficiency. We offer self-service and email options to vendors with Basic membership, so feel free to reach out to us via our Contact Us form submission.
