Even with all that help, the to-do's were multiplying fast. Sticky notes everywhere. By the time we were ready to start hiring vendors, it got hard to keep track of what needed to happen and when — who we'd already talked to, what each one offered, which ones were available on our date. Wedding planning is joyful, but the logistics of it can quietly take over your life.

​

Most couples are figuring it out completely on their own — searching the internet, reading reviews from strangers, and hoping they land on someone good. All while the venue they just booked has years of experience with exactly the vendors they need. That connection just wasn't being made.

I also watched my in-laws pour everything into their venues — the details, the landscaping, the customer service, the endless phone calls fielded with grace. They care so much. But running a beautiful venue means you're already wearing a hundred hats. I wanted to give them something that made the couple experience even better and them a little more organized ... without adding anything to their plate.

​

And then there are the vendors — the photographers and florists and caterers who are wonderful at what they do but are constantly trying to reach couples at the right moment.

 

There's no better time to get in front of someone than when they've just booked their venue and they're actively, eagerly building their team. That's the window. Venue & Vow puts vendors right there, in print, in a couple's hands, at exactly that moment.

​

So that's how this came together. Better experience for couples. A thoughtful touch for venues. The right moment for vendors. And for everyone in the middle of planning a wedding — think of it as your own personal Nans — available 24/7 and always ready to pick up the phone. 😉
