Real prices, not ranges

Binding means the rates and inclusions you accept are locked — no mystery fees added after you say yes.

  • Flat packages stay at the quoted total.
  • Per-guest rates stay fixed; only headcount changes the math.
  • No bait-and-switch.

Your AI Venue Planner

Every couple gets a free planner that scores bids and benchmarks pricing — without the spreadsheet wall.

  • Scores value and how complete each package is.
  • Benchmarks price vs. similar weddings.
  • Your planner coaches counter-offers so you know what might actually get a yes.

You hold the cards

Semi-blind bidding: names stay hidden until you choose.

  • Compare on price, package, and fit — not logos.
  • Shortlist only venues you want to talk to.
  • Your contact info stays private until then.
