Trust Before Transaction

A selective partner community, not an open marketplace.

Businesses cannot automatically publish a profile or pay their way into the network. Every prospective partner completes an application, review and personal consultation before final approval.

Personally reviewed

Approval is based on experience, recommendations, professionalism and service quality.

Locally relevant

The first community focuses on Chicago, nearby counties and local wedding destinations.

Part of the plan

Partner profiles live inside the same experience brides use to organize their wedding.
