How it works

Three ways to use SmokyVows.

Whether you are planning a wedding, listing a business, or selling something you made, here is what the process looks like.

For couples

Browsing, saving vendors, and messaging is always free.

Browse local vendors
Search by category, area, and date. Every listing shows a starting price, so you can rule things in or out before you spend time on it.
Compare and save
Save the vendors you like, put them side by side, and check who is actually free on your date.
Message them directly
Your message goes to the vendor you picked and nobody else. Your details are never resold.

Anyone in our regions can list. There is no approval queue and no gatekeeping.

Create your listing
Add your photos, services, and starting price. Showing your pricing up front is how couples decide whether to reach out.
Earn your ranking
Position comes from how couples rate you, and nothing else. No vendor can pay to rank higher.
Reply to inquiries
Couples message you directly and inquiries land in your vendor dashboard. One flat monthly subscription, and we never take a cut of a booking.

A separate marketplace for physical and digital wedding goods.

Open your storefront
Set up a shop for favors, gifts, signage, stationery, and handmade pieces.
List your products

Sell direct
Buyers are handed off to you to complete the purchase. Your money goes straight to you, and SmokyVows never touches it.
