All You Need To Know...
... about The Wedding Society:
The easiest way to find available vendors for your event is to fill out an Enquiry Form here.
We will send your details (except your phone number, which is kept private in case we need to contact you) out to our database of nearly 6000 wedding vendors. All available vendors who feel you’d click with them will be able to contact you once through your nominated email address, and then you’re free to reply to whoever floats your boat. Simple!
If you’d rather do some browsing for yourself, you can check out our vendors through the Directory tab. Please note, though, that at this stage only Celebrants can be found in our Directory. We do, however, have many more types of vendors in out beautiful community who we can contact on your behalf.
No problem!
We have a database of nearly 6000 wedding industry professionals. Simply fill out the Enquiry Form and we will source all available vendors for your day. We will provide you with their details so you can check them out and directly contact whoever floats your boat.

You can see your live Directory listing through the Directory, located on the top menu of the website.
You can add more listings and edit your Directory listing at any time through your Member Area when logged into the website.
You can bump your listing to the top of the search results by selecting the “Promote” icon on your listing, located in the “Directory Listings” tab of the dropdown menu next to your name, when logged into your account.
You can also upgrade your listing to make it more “sticky” in the search results.
Directory Listings are searchable by keyword or location.
If you have added a Directory listing and you can’t find it in the Directory through a search, please contact us directly here.
To edit your Directory listing, simply select “My Listings” from the dropdown menu under your name when logged into your account.
You can edit and update your listing as often as you like.
You can manage your listing through the “My Directory Listings” tab in the dropdown menu next to your name when logged into your account.
Please note that removal of your Directory listing cannot be undone. If you would like to recover your Directory listing after it has been removed, you will need to create a new one.
Yes, you can. Simply select “Add Directory Listing” from the dropdown menu next to your name when logged in to purchase another listing.
Listings are for one service only, but if you offer multiple services in the wedding industry, you can purchase as many listings as you like.
We have many couples who want to skip the window shopping of the DIrectory and simply want a list of available vendors as quickly as possible. We give them the option to fill out a form on our website seeking available vendors for their day. They fill out the form with their event details and the vendor type/s they are after and then submit that form to us – these become “Open Enquiries”.
Listing owners can access all Open Enquiries through their Member Area. Members are free to answer all enquiries that they are available for by selecting the email address provided and reaching out to the couple. There are rules around how the vendor can contact each enquiry – the enquiring party are aware of these rules and they must be respected at all times.
The couple nominate a date that they would like to close the enquiry, at which point it is removed from the “Open Enquiries” list.
The Open Enquiries are for all paying members of The Wedding Society and The Celebrant Society.
Only vendor types that have been requested by the couple are free to contact that enquirer. Each vendor can only respond to an enquiry once. These rules are firm and cannot be disregarded without getting booted. For realsies.

Anyone can apply for a referral discount code here.
This provides you with a unique discount code to share with your vendor friends.
Any friend who uses the discount code to create a Directory Listing will get a $50 discount and you will receive $50 cash for each referral.
There’s no limit! You can refer as many friends as you like – all of them will receive a $50 discount and you will get $50 cash ever time it’s used.

No – your discount code is only applicable to other vendors creating a new Directory Listing subscription.
Firstly, ensure that you bank details are correct and up-to-date in your Referral Code Dashboard under the “Payouts” tab.
