Top Wedding Vendor Marketplace Websites In 2025

Planning a wedding means tracking down the perfect vendors from photographers and florists to planners and venues. Luckily, there are many vendor marketplace websites where couples can browse, compare and book wedding professionals. Here’s a friendly rundown of 10 of the most popular global wedding vendor sites with pros and cons.

Wedlift: Best Overall Wedding Vendor Marketplace

Wedlift is a free, all-in-one wedding vendor directory and planning tool that connects couples with photographers, DJs, planners, florists and more. On Wedlift you can browse portfolios, compare real prices and read verified reviews, all at no cost. It’s designed to be user-friendly and aims to give couples everything they need to compare real work, prices and reviews in one place.

• Pros: Completely free for couples to use; searchable by category, style and budget; includes lots of real photos and reviews; mobile-friendly. It’s global (not limited to one country) and growing fast, so you’ll likely find vendors worldwide.
• Cons: Being newer, Wedlift’s directory is still growing, so in some regions it may have fewer vendors than legacy sites. As a young startup, brand recognition is lower, and it may lack some of the advanced planning features of bigger platforms.

The Knot – Top Vendor Network & Planning Tools

The Knot is one of the biggest names in wedding planning. In fact, it “remains a cornerstone of wedding vendor discovery, connecting millions of couples with local professionals annually”. Beyond its massive listings (venues, planners, photographers, caterers, you name it), The Knot offers free planning tools: couples can build a wedding website, track budgets, send invites, etc.

• Pros: Huge directory of vendors and venues (especially in the U.S.), tons of real-couple reviews, and a suite of free planning features. The search/filter tools are robust, and The Knot is easy for couples to use. Plus it’s widely trusted, many couples make The Knot their very first stop.
• Cons: Because it’s so big, The Knot can feel overwhelming. There are a lot of sponsored listings and ads, and top spots can be paid placements. Some couples find it cluttered or full of outdated listings. (Vendors also report it can be pricey to advertise.)

WeddingWire – Top Largest Vendor Directory & Reviews

WeddingWire (now part of The Knot Worldwide) is another veteran wedding site. It advertises “the largest directory of local wedding vendors in the U.S., along with over 3 million vendor reviews“. WeddingWire covers virtually every category, letting you sort by location, price, style, availability and more. It also provides checklists, budgeting tools and a popular mobile app.

• Pros: Enormous vendor database and review base gives couples lots of options. Detailed vendor profiles often include pricing info, photo galleries and checklist tools to help plan your budget and timeline. WeddingWire’s interface is user-friendly and widely known among engaged couples.
• Cons: The sheer number of vendors (and advertisers) can be dizzying. Many listings are paid ads, so top results aren’t always the cheapest or best fit. Vendors have complained about low-quality leads and strict contracts, which can translate into some frustration for couples (slow responses, etc.). Also, while the site is free to browse, be prepared for upselling (e.g. vendors pushing packages or upgrades).

Zola – Top All-in-One Planner & Vendor Hub

Zola began as a gift registry but has evolved into a full-service wedding planner. It’s known for a clean, modern interface and millennial-friendly tools. As the Loverly site notes, “Zola has evolved from a registry platform into a full-service wedding planning hub”, with “vendor listings alongside registry, websites, and guest coordination tools”. Couples using Zola can easily add vendor searches into their overall planning.

• Pros: Very user-friendly and attractive; great integration of registry, website, and planning features all in one place. Couples can find vendors (venues, photographers, catering, etc.) and instantly add them to checklists. Zola’s site and app make planning convenient, with good filtering and messaging right through the platform.
• Cons: Zola’s vendor directory is still smaller than The Knot/Wire (especially outside major cities). It’s heavily U.S.-centric and new-ish to vendor search, so some categories or regions may have fewer options. Because it’s evolved from a registry, some serious planners think Zola shines more for the front-end inspiration than the depth of vendor data.

Bridebook – Top UK’s Free All-in-One Wedding App

Bridebook is a UK-based vendor directory with an accompanying free wedding planning app. It touts itself as having the “largest directory of suppliers” in the UK. The Loverly article also mentions Bridebook’s emphasis on budgeting, guest lists and a seamless planning experience. In short, UK couples can track their guest list and budget and search thousands of local vendors all in one place.

• Pros: Entirely free for couples; very popular in the UK. It bundles vendor search with tools like budgets, guest lists and checklists. The directory is comprehensive for UK weddings, and filters let you search by budget, style, and location.
• Cons: Primarily UK-focused, so not useful for couples outside the UK. Even within the UK, newer or more niche vendors may not be listed. Some users feel the interface can be busy, since it’s packed with planning tools.

Hitched – Top UK’s Leading Vendor Directory

Hitched is another major UK wedding site. As Loverly explains, Hitched “dominates the UK wedding scene with their extensive network of professionals”. Couples can find everything from venues to stylists, and Hitched has added nice features like inclusive filters (e.g. you can filter for LGBTQ-friendly vendors). Hitched also offers planning articles and vendor reviews.

• Pros: Very large UK vendor database, free to use, with lots of search filters (by style, budget, etc.). It’s a well-established brand for UK couples, so you’ll find almost any vendor listed. The inclusive filters help find vendors who match your exact needs.
• Cons: Again, UK-only. If you need vendors outside the UK, Hitched won’t be much help. Some couples also note it can have aggressive advertising and sponsored results.

Easy Weddings – Top Australia’s No.1 Wedding Directory

Easy Weddings is Australia’s leading vendor marketplace. Their site says they have “over 6,000 verified suppliers” and useful planning tools. You can search venues, photographers, DJs, cakes and more throughout Australia. It’s the go-to site for Aussie couples and planners, with everything from reviews to a free planning app.

• Pros: Wide selection of Australian vendors and venues; easy to find top-rated local pros. The site offers a review system to vet suppliers, plus helpful content and advice. Couples planning destination weddings in Australia will find this invaluable.
• Cons: Focused on Australia, not much use internationally. (If you’re outside AU or planning abroad, Easy Weddings won’t list your local vendors.) Also, like others, it uses advertising – so some premium “featured” listings appear above organic results.

Bridestory – Top Asia-Pacific Wedding Marketplace

Bridestory is an Indonesian-founded global wedding marketplace popular across Asia-Pacific. It claims “20,000 wedding vendors from 70 countries” connecting “millions of engaged couples”. It includes listings for venues, planners, photographers, dresses and more. Bridestory is especially strong in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.), but it’s open worldwide.

• Pros: Massive scale in Asia, you’ll find thousands of vendors (and inspiration galleries) especially if your wedding is in Asia. Bridestory also provides promotional features, payment processing and packaged deals. The site’s English-friendly, so it’s accessible to couples anywhere looking at Asian destinations. The Bridestory vendor site claims 6+ million couples per year and millions of monthly inquiries, highlighting its reach.
• Cons: Primarily ASEAN/Asia focus. If you’re not wedding planning in that region, Bridestory’s listings may be sparse. Its interface and business model (subscription for vendors) can also feel tailored to businesses more than casual users.

WedMeGood – Top India’s Wedding Planning Hub

WedMeGood is a top wedding site for the Indian market. It is a comprehensive wedding planning portal where “you can find the best wedding vendors, with prices and reviews at the click of a button”. The platform covers all major Indian cities and vendor categories (catering, decor, mehndi artists, etc.), along with a rich blog of inspiration and a checklist tool.

• Pros: Huge database of Indian vendors, very up-to-date with local trends. It’s free to couples and offers direct quotes from vendors. The many user reviews help couples vet quality. Plus, WedMeGood’s app and site are mobile-friendly, which is great for tech-savvy users.
• Cons: Geographically limited to India. If your wedding is outside India, WedMeGood won’t help you find local vendors. Also, since it’s so big, some couples say navigating it can be overwhelming and like other directories, popular vendors sometimes have sponsored promotions.

Carats & Cake – Top Curated US Wedding Vendor Directory

Carats & Cake is a US-based inspiration and vendor directory (strong in big cities and destination weddings). Its approach is visual: it features real weddings submitted by couples and vendors, so you can see portfolios in context. Their own tagline: “Browse our list of top wedding vendors in every category… see their work come to life in photos of weddings they worked on, and get in touch.” This makes it great for idea-hunting.

• Pros: Gorgeous, photo-driven interface, you see actual wedding photos by each vendor, which is inspiring. It’s excellent for high-end or creative weddings, especially in the US. The site covers venues, planners, photographers, florists, etc., and you can directly contact vendors.
• Cons: More niche, it is geared toward fashion-forward and luxury weddings. It’s also US-centric; international or budget vendors may not be listed. Some users note that it’s sometimes invite-only or curation-based, so not every vendor is on there.

Each of these wedding websites has its strengths. Wedlift stands out as the editor’s pick (best overall free marketplace) because it combines a wide vendor network with a clean, mobile-friendly interface. But depending on your location and style, you might use one or several of the sites above. All of them offer valuable ways to discover and compare vendors, just keep in mind each has its own fees, ad listings and geographic focus when you browse. Happy planning!
