Reviews you can trust
The honest kind of review.
Most wedding sites are full of five-star quotes you can’t verify. We do it the other way: reviews only appear once a couple has actually booked and lived their day — so while we’re new, you won’t see a wall of testimonials we can’t stand behind. That’s the point.
Tied to a real booking
A review can only be written by a couple with a confirmed booking — one review per booking. No drive-by ratings.
No pay-to-play
Vendors can’t pay to appear higher, reorder reviews, or delete a word they don’t like. They can only reply in public.
Payments secured by Stripe
Deposits and balances run through Stripe. Your card details never touch our servers, and vendors are paid on real bookings.
Reviewing a vendor requires a confirmed booking — that’s the whole model. Browse the marketplace →
The questions the industry won't answer
Three things you want to know. Answered.
What should this actually cost?
Real per-category ranges for 42 Ontario cities — the calculator above prices your whole wedding in sixty seconds.

Paste the number a vendor quoted you and see how it compares to what couples typically pay in your city.
Check my quoteWho's good — and who just paid to rank?
Here, nobody can pay to rank. Reviews only come from couples who actually booked, and vendors pay only when a wedding books — never for placement.
How we make moneyRead this before you sign anything
The fees that show up in the contract, not the quote.
None of these are scams — they're just rarely mentioned until signing day. Ask about every one before you commit, and budget for them from the start.
Service charge
often 15–20% at venues — and HST applies on top of it
Gratuities
sometimes separate from the service charge; ask which
Bar minimums
a spend floor you owe whether guests drink it or not
Corkage & cake-cutting
per-bottle and per-slice fees for bringing your own
SOCAN & Re:Sound
music licence fees most venues pass straight to you
Vendor meals
your photographer and DJ eat too — usually at a plate price
Overtime
the hour after last call is the most expensive of the night
Setup & landmark fees
early access, ceremony-site and teardown charges
Then keep the numbers honest
Your plan lives in one calm studio — free.
The budget you built above becomes a real plan: guests and RSVPs, a checklist keyed to your date, seating, a wedding website — every tool included, no credit card, no trial clock.

What your money buys, city by city.
Every category page carries real typical ranges for your city. The vendor marketplace is opening region by region — founding vendors are onboarding now, and until your region fills, we match you by hand, free.
No catch — here's the business model
How we make money, in full.
- Planning is free, forever. The calculator, budget, guests, checklist, seating and your wedding website cost nothing — no card, no trial clock.
- Some couples upgrade once. Atelier is an optional $99 one-time unlock for the extras — never a subscription. Most of the studio stays free either way.
- Vendors pay only when a wedding books. Listing is free; a capped success fee applies when a couple signs. Vendors can never pay for placement or ranking — that's the whole point of this site.
- And a small stationery shop. Print-ready invitation suites, sold plainly.
That's all of it. If the numbers on this site were ever for sale, the numbers would be worthless — so they aren't.
Know your numbers, then enjoy the day.
Price your wedding free, keep the plan, and never negotiate blind again.
