How to Book a Wedding Vendor on WedLift

WedLift is built so couples can discover wedding professionals and book them without long email chains. This guide walks through a full booking from search to confirmed payment.

1. Create your free account

Open Join WedLift and register as a couple (regular user). You can use the site immediately after signup—no long waiting for confirmation emails. Keep your email correct so you receive booking and payment notices.

2. Explore vendors

Use Explore to filter by category (photographers, planners, florists, venues, and more), location, and price. Open a listing to see photos, description, reviews, and the vendor profile. Save listings you like so you can compare later from your dashboard.

3. Pick a date and time

On the listing page, open the booking calendar. Only times that are truly free stay available—slots reserved by unpaid checkouts do not block the calendar forever. Choose the date and hours that fit your event.

4. Book and pay

Click Book and pay, confirm your details, then continue to Stripe Checkout. Pay with card. After a successful payment you are returned to WedLift and the booking is marked paid. You and the vendor both get email confirmation.

5. Track everything in your dashboard

Under Bookings you will see paid bookings, dates, and status. Message the vendor from Messages if you need to align details. When the service is done, follow the prompts so the vendor can complete the job and receive their payout balance.

Tip: if a payment page ever looks stuck, open your dashboard Bookings section once while logged in—WedLift re-checks recent Stripe sessions and updates status automatically.
