We will make reasonable efforts to notify vendors of significant changes to their listings.
5. Wedding Guest Pages
Couples may create wedding guest pages to share event details, itineraries, and recommendations with their guests. By creating a wedding guest page, you agree to the following:
- Content Responsibility: You are solely responsible for all content you publish on your guest page, including event details, photos, and linked vendor recommendations. Do not publish private personal information about guests without their consent.

- Removal: We reserve the right to remove guest pages that contain unlawful content, violate third-party rights, or otherwise breach these Terms. Couples may also delete their own guest pages at any time.
- Expiration: We may retire or archive guest pages some time after the wedding date has passed. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before doing so.
6. Get Quotes System
Our get-quotes feature allows couples to send a single inquiry to multiple vendors simultaneously. By using this feature, you understand and agree that:
- We are facilitating an introduction between you and vendors — we are not a party to any contract, booking, or transaction that may result
- We are not responsible for vendor response times, pricing accuracy, availability, or the quality of services provided
- Vendors receive your contact information only when you send them a quote request
- We cannot guarantee that all vendors will respond or that their quoted prices will be honoured
- Any agreements made between couples and vendors are solely between those parties
