The model is the difference.
Most wedding directories sell ranking. We sell a listing. Your position is earned by your venue, your reviews and your availability, and that rule is permanent.
Every enquiry goes straight to you
One couple, one venue, one conversation. We never share, resell or match your enquiries. The relationship is yours from the first message.
Rankings reflect the venue, not the budget
Search position is earned by your space, your reviews and your availability for the couple’s date. It cannot be bought, not now, not ever.
One flat price, zero commission
$35/month as a founding venue. $49/month after the first 100. No percentage on the booking, no hidden fees. A venue that hosts one wedding at $8,000 has covered more than a decade of listing fees.
Be one of the first 100.
Lock $35 for the life of your subscription. After the first 100 venues, this becomes $49/month. Same plan, same features.

One booking covers years.
The things every venue asks before they sign up.
By relevance. Region, capacity fit for the couple’s guest count, availability for their date, review count and score, and how complete your listing is. Position cannot be bought. Newer venues aren’t penalised, there’s a visible “new to Wedding Venues” state, not a graveyard at the bottom.
No. A flat monthly subscription and nothing else. The couple contacts you directly, the contract is between you and them. No platform fee, no escrow, no commission.
Your listing shows “No reviews yet” plainly, no fake stars, no editorial badges. Your photos and the honest detail on capacity and price do most of the work early on. Reviews follow from couples who book through the platform.
A free tier is how directories fill with spam, fake listings and stolen photos. Paid listings mean every venue on the platform is real and committed. The price is low enough that one booking covers years of listing fees.
Cancel anytime from the Stripe billing portal, your listing stays live until the end of the paid period. Unpublish anytime with one click in your dashboard if you just need a quiet stretch.
Yes. $490/year incl. GST, two months free compared to monthly billing. Founding venues pay $350/year. Same listing, same features, lower annual cost.
Barns and woolsheds, country estates, vineyards, lodges, halls, gardens, coastal and high-country spaces, the lot. If couples marry there, it belongs in the directory.
No. Small and intimate spaces sit alongside the grand estates. What matters is an honest listing: real photos, real capacity, real pricing.
