About us

How we started

The Wedding Experts started in 2017 as a simple one-stop platform where couples requested quotes from wedding professionals in one place, alongside a blog of wedding guides. Readers kept asking for the next step: not another article, but the names of the people who actually do this work, and a way to reach them.

So we built the directory, then rebuilt it from scratch: search by category and area, enquiries and quotes, messaging and verified reviews. In 2026 we launched in the UK, starting in Yorkshire.

We're a small, independent team. We answer the messages ourselves and we approve the listings ourselves; there's no support department standing between you and us.

How a professional gets listed

Nothing goes live automatically. Every listing moves through the same four steps, in the same order.

1. Sign up and build the profile

   The professional creates an account and fills in their profile: categories, the areas they cover, photos of their work, contact details. While it's at this stage the profile is a draft, and no visitor can see it.

2. Submit for review

   On submission the profile enters our review queue. We check that it's a real business working in weddings, that the category and areas are right, and that the photos and copy don't breach our terms.

3. Approved or rejected

   Only approved profiles appear in search. Rejected ones go back to the professional with the reason, so they can fix them and submit again.

4. Edits get reviewed too

   A change to an already-published profile doesn't go straight live — it re-enters the queue. A profile that breaches the terms can be suspended at any point.

Every profile you see on the UK site was reviewed by us before it went live, and every change to it is reviewed again. Some profiles were set up by us for businesses that asked to be listed, using details they gave us and their own website. Those businesses may not have checked their profile yet.

How reviews work

Reviews can't be left anonymously. Whoever writes one has to verify both their email address and their mobile number first. Until they do, the review is visible to nobody — not to the professional, and not in our moderation queue.

Once verified, it's reviewed before it's published. A professional can dispute a review they believe is false: while the dispute is open the review is pulled from the profile and excluded from the star average, until it's either restored or removed. We don't take down negative reviews on request, and we don't charge to remove them.

How our articles are written

Blog articles are written by our editorial team. They are not personal opinion: they draw on what we see across the profiles, prices and quote requests of the suppliers on the platform, and on what those suppliers and couples tell us directly.

The professionals shown inside an article are drawn from the service category the article is about, not paid for that particular mention. If you spot something wrong or out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

How we make money

The platform is free for couples. We don't charge for searching, for sending an enquiry, or for contacting a professional.

Our revenue comes from professionals' subscriptions. A Lite listing is free; paid plans buy more visibility and more tools for managing enquiries. We take no commission on your wedding: the agreement, the deposit and the payment are strictly between you and the professional, and we are not a party to them.

A subscription affects how prominently a profile is shown. It does not affect that profile's reviews, its star average, or whether it gets approved.
