List Your Wedding Venue
Where Couples Come to You
The UK marketplace where couples post their wedding plans and venues bid to host them
Stop paying for adverts and hoping the phone rings. See real weddings with confirmed dates and budgets, then compete for the ones that fit your venue.
These are real couples who have posted their date, guest count and budget and are waiting for venues to bid. Right now there are almost no venues competing for them. You pay 1% of the couple's stated budget only when you choose to bid, nothing to list, and nothing if you never bid.

Demand-Led Enquiries
Every wedding request is posted by a couple who is actively booking, with a confirmed date, budget, guest count and location. No cold traffic, no tyre kickers.
Costs Tied to Action
No annual listing fee quietly draining your marketing budget. You pay 1% of the couple's budget only when you choose to bid on a wedding.
Compete on Value
Bids are full proposals with packages, extras and a personal message, so a characterful barn can beat a big hotel on more than price.

Worked example
A couple posts a wedding with a £20,000 budget for next September. If you decide to bid, the fee is £200. If their budget is £10,000, the fee is £100.
That is the entire cost. No commission on the booking, no subscription running in the background, and you saw the budget before spending a penny.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to list my wedding venue on VenueVows?
Listing is free. You only pay when you choose to bid on a specific wedding, and the fee is 1% of the couple’s stated budget. There is no subscription, no annual advertising fee and no commission on the final booking.
What happens if my bid is not successful?
The 1% bid fee is non-refundable, whether or not the couple chooses your venue. Because you can see the couple’s date, budget, guest count and location before you bid, you decide exactly which weddings are worth competing for.
How is this different from advertising on a wedding directory?
Directories charge a subscription and then couples browse. On VenueVows the demand comes first: couples post real wedding requests with a confirmed date and budget, and venues respond. You spend money on specific weddings, not on general visibility.
How do I pay for bids?
You top up a prepaid balance by card through Stripe and bid fees are deducted from it. You are always in control of how much you commit.
Can I choose which weddings to bid on?
Yes. You browse wedding requests in your area and bid only on the ones that fit your venue, your calendar and your pricing. There is no obligation to bid on anything.
What does a bid include?
A bid is a full proposal, not just a price. You can include packages, room options, extras, discounts and a personal message, so couples compare venues on value rather than price alone.
