For vendorsFor wedding vendors
List your business.
Couples here plan with a planner that already knows their date, their budget and the look they are after. When your listing fits, you come up — without either of you going searching. Ninety days free, then $24.99 a month — no commission, no lead fees.

Not a list couples scroll. A directory they are matched into.
Most wedding directories sell you a position and leave the searching to the couple. Here, couples tell their planner what they want first — and your listing is what it matches against.
| Qualified inquiries | Couples are matched to you on their date, budget, guest count and the style they are after. The inquiries that reach you are the ones that had a chance of working. |
| No pay-to-win | You cannot buy a higher position, and neither can anyone else. Order comes from how closely your listing answers what the couple asked for — style first, then their date and your area, then their budget. The only way up is a truer listing. |
| You are paid directly | No commission and no lead fees. You can invoice clients through the platform, but the money goes to you the way it always has. |
| Reviews come with you | Point us at your Google Business Profile and we bring your rating and reviews across, then keep them current. Nothing is ever posted on your behalf. |
What it costs — and when
Your first ninety days are free. You add a card when you finish signing up; nothing is charged, and the ninety days start that moment. After that it is $24.99 a month, cancel any time — we remind you three days before the first payment. You can leave the form half-done and come back; nothing is charged until the ninety days are up.
Getting in takes two minutes.
Start at thewedthread.com/vendors and press Join as a vendor. If you already have an account, press Vendor log in instead.
- 1
Email and a password
8 or more characters, one capital letter, one special character — the form ticks them off as you type. Or press Continue with Google and skip the password entirely. - 2
Confirm your email address
We send a link — press it and you are back where you left off. If the link does not work, the same email prints a code: type it in at thewedthread.com/auth/confirm instead. A code cannot be mangled by a mail system the way a long link can. If nothing has arrived in a minute or two, check spam or junk — company mail systems hold ours more often than personal ones do — and if it is still not there, pressing resend will not help: write to us from the contact link at thewedthread.com/vendors and we will confirm your address by hand. Please do not sign up a second time; that leaves two accounts we have to merge. - 3
Tell us you are a vendor
On “What brings you here?” choose I am a vendor. Roles unlock features rather than splitting your account — one profile does everything.I am a vendor - 4
Two quick legal steps
Confirm you are 18 or over, then agree to the community guidelines and the note about how the AI assistant works.
Seven steps, field by field.
| 1 · Your name | Business name. Start typing and pick yourself from the dropdown — we bring your address and Google reviews with you. Typing it by hand works just as well. Then what you do: between one and five categories. |
| 2 · Your style | At least one style tag. Couples pick the feeling they are after before they see a single vendor, and these are the words we match against theirs — so pick what is true, not everything. |
| 3 · Where you work | Venues: your address, plus optional guest minimum and maximum. Everyone else: the states you serve — a couple planning outside them will not see you unless you mark yourself willing to travel. |
| 4 · What it costs | Venues: a price for at least one of Mon–Thu, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Everyone else: your starting price. This keeps you out of conversations that were never going to work. |
| 5 · In your own words | Description, 40 characters minimum, no maximum. Photos, at least one — the first is your cover. |
| 6 · One link | Website, Google Business Profile, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok — any one is enough. A business email is optional and never shown to couples. |
| 7 · Your card | You see everything you have written, then press Add a card — $0 today. That takes you to Stripe, which asks for a card and charges nothing. Your ninety free days start there, and your listing goes to our team for review the same second. |
One firm rule
Leave phone numbers and email addresses out of your business name and description. The form will refuse to save them. Couples message you through The Wed Thread, which is what keeps your inbox free of everything that is not a real inquiry.

What happens after you add your card.
- 1
A person reads your listing
We check every listing by hand — that is what keeps impostors and scam listings out of a directory couples are trusting with their wedding. You get an email the moment it is approved. If we need something changed first, your dashboard shows Changes needed and tells you exactly what — fix it and submit again, as many times as you need. - 2
Your first ninety days
Your ninety free days started when you added your card. Approval puts you in front of couples. We remind you three days before your first payment of $24.99, and you can cancel any time before it.Free for 90 days - 3
You are live
Couples find you in browse and in the planner's suggestions. Your Overview page shows unique visitors over the last 30 days, so you can see it working.
- Inquiries — a couple's date, guest count and message land here, and we email you.
- Client invoices — invoice a couple; they pay you directly and you confirm when the money lands.
- Availability — click a date to cycle open, held, booked. Couples never see which it is, or who took it.
- Public profile — everything couples see, saving as you type, plus packages and an auto-reply of up to 500 characters.
The ninety free days, in full
When they start. The moment you add your card, at the end of the form. Not when we approve you — approval is what puts you in front of couples, and it does not move the clock either way.
What you pay today. $0. Stripe asks for a card and charges nothing — the card is there so nothing interrupts you on day ninety-one.
What happens then. $24.99 a month, charged automatically. No commission on your bookings and no lead fees, ever.
The one reminder. We email you three days before that first payment. One email, not a countdown.
Stopping. Cancel any time before it, from your billing page, and you are never charged. Your listing stays visible for a further seven days and then quietly comes down — your profile is not deleted.

Things people ask us first.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — ninety days, free. You add a card at signup so nothing interrupts you later; nothing is charged until the ninety days are up, and we remind you three days before. You can cancel any time.
How long does approval take?
A person reviews it rather than a machine, so it is not instant. We email you the moment it is approved — you do not need to keep checking.
Do you take a commission on my bookings?
No. No commission and no lead fees. One flat monthly listing, and your clients pay you directly.
I offer more than five things. What do I pick?
Five is the limit, and it is a feature — couples browse by category, so a listing that claims everything matches nobody well. Pick the five that bring in the work you actually want.
Can I hide my listing for a while?
Yes. There is a Listing Active toggle on your profile — turn it off while you are fully booked and back on when you are not.
Will couples see my phone number and email?
No. They message you through The Wed Thread, and you reply from your Inquiries inbox. Your business email is only ever used by us to reach you about your listing.
