Build a wedding directory website couples plan with.
Yclas gives you a wedding directory website with vendor pages, photo galleries, reviews from real couples, quote requests sent to several vendors at once, and an availability search for the wedding date. Venues, photographers, florists and bands pay to stand out, and you keep every payment.

Three questions before every enquiry.
Couples compare dozens of vendors. A good wedding directory answers the same three questions on every page, so they can shortlist fast.
The pages a wedding directory is made of.
Real screenshots of our demo sites: Localist, a local business directory, Front Range Local and a rentals demo. A wedding directory uses the same pages with its own categories, fields and look.
None of the demos is a wedding site yet; the screens are the same ones your wedding directory would have.
A page that sells the vendor's style.
Weddings are bought on photos. Each vendor page carries a gallery, a description, the area covered, packages with prices from the services list, social links and a map. Add the fields couples filter on: guest capacity for venues, styles for photographers, dietary options for caterers, and make them filters.
- Categories such as venues, photographers, videographers, florists, cakes, bands and DJs, dresses and suits.
- Locations by region and town, with a map.
One enquiry, sent to several vendors.
A couple describes the date, place and guest count once, and the request goes to up to five vendors in that category nearby. Each vendor page shows how fast it usually replies. Leads can be free for vendors, come from their plan's credits, or be paid per lead.
- Lead limits per email and address, and a bot check.
- Messages between couple and vendor stay on your site.
Show which vendors are free on the wedding day.
With bookings on Professional, a vendor can take requests by the day, and dates already booked are crossed out on its calendar. Search gains an "Available on" date, so a couple looking for a photographer on 14 June sees only those free that day. Vendors can block dates they booked elsewhere.
- Request to book: the vendor accepts or declines.
- An iCal link to show the bookings in the vendor's own calendar.
Bookings can't import a vendor's other calendars; dates booked elsewhere are blocked by hand.
Reviews couples believe.
Couples rate a vendor overall and on up to five criteria you set for its category, such as quality, value, communication and punctuality. They can add up to four photos, the vendor replies in public, and the review guard holds reviews that look like they came from the vendor itself for you to check.
- Review invitations vendors send to their past couples.
- "Best of" awards each year for the best-rated vendors in each category.
What the wedding directory website includes.
Starter is $19 a month; bookings and memberships for vendors come with Professional at $99.

How do I build a wedding directory website?
Start a Yclas site, choose a directory, add categories like venues and photographers with the fields couples filter on, import or invite vendors, and pick a wedding look. It can be live the same day.
Is it a wedding vendor marketplace?
It is a directory where couples find and contact vendors, request quotes and, with bookings on, request a date. Payment for the wedding itself is usually arranged between couple and vendor.
Can couples check a vendor's availability?
Yes, when the vendor takes bookings on Professional: search has an "Available on" date and booked days are crossed out.
Can vendors pay to be featured?
Yes: featured listings, sponsored places in a category and banners, paid into your own Stripe or PayPal account.
Can I charge vendors per enquiry?
Yes. Quote requests can be paid per lead before the vendor sees the couple's contact details.
Is there a wedding template?
Yes. Among the 109 looks there is one made for weddings, and you can change its colours and fonts.
