Personalized wedding vendor recommendations, curated for you.
One short screen — your budget, your area, your guest count — and we'll show you real venues near you, ranked against what you told us. No account needed to see them. Keep going and we'll do your photographers, caterers, florists, and the rest.
Three steps from overwhelmed to organized.
Tell us the basics
Budget, area, guest count. One screen, about a minute, no account needed.
See real venues right away
We've already read every vendor's site, reviews, and pricing. You get your best-fitting venues immediately — not a promise of them later.
Refine, then go wider
Answer more and we factor in your style and setting, then score your photographers, caterers, florists, and the rest.
Every vendor you'll need.
Wedding planning shouldn't feel like a second job.
The average couple spends over 200 hours planning their wedding. A huge chunk of that is research — scrolling through directories, opening 40 browser tabs, comparing wedding photographers and venues that all start to blur together.
The traditional wedding directories haven't changed in 20 years. They list every vendor, sort by paid placement, and leave you to do the matching yourself. They don't know your style, your budget, or what actually matters to you.
We built The Wedding Dossier to flip that. Instead of you searching through wedding vendors, we read every vendor's website, reviews, and pricing — then score each one against the things you've told us matter. Budget. Style. Capacity. Photography aesthetic. Cuisine. The result is a ranked shortlist with reasons for every match, so you can spend your planning time on the fun stuff — visiting venues, tasting cake, picking flowers — instead of doomscrolling.
Wedding planning is supposed to be exciting. It's the start of a new chapter, not a logistics nightmare. Our job is to do the boring research so you don't have to.
Questions, answered.
How is The Wedding Dossier different from The Knot or WeddingWire?
Most wedding directories list every vendor and let you scroll, sorted by who paid for placement. Nobody can pay us. We score each vendor against your budget, style, and priorities, then hand you a ranked shortlist with the reason for every match — starting with real venues after one short screen, instead of 20 hours of scrolling.
How does the matching work?
We read each vendor's website, reviews, and pricing to extract details like style, capacity, photography aesthetic, cuisine type, and price range. Then we score each vendor across multiple dimensions — budget fit, style match, capacity, location, and more — weighted by what matters most for your wedding.
Is it free?
Yes — completely free during our beta. Your first venue matches need no account at all. Signing up is only for saving your board, seeing every vendor category, and tracking who you have contacted.
Do you contact vendors for me?
No — we hand you the shortlist with each vendor's contact info, pricing notes, and a link to their inquiry form. You stay in control of every conversation.
How long does this take?
The first screen is budget, area, and guest count — about a minute — and you get real, ranked venue matches at the end of it, with no account. If you want the rest, the full questionnaire covers venue style, photography, music, florals, and food and runs about ten minutes. That part is optional and you can do it whenever.
Can I update my preferences later?
Yes. You can edit your preferences any time and regenerate your recommendations.
