Your diary
The enquiries come in. The quiet dates stay quiet.
If you run an independent venue, you’ll know how this goes. You pay for listings. Enquiries arrive. Most never turn into a viewing, and too many were never going to book anyway.
If you’ve said any of these, we should talk:
- We get enquiries, but they don’t book a viewing.
- Too many time-wasters with no budget.
- We pay directories every year and can’t tell what we get.
- Saturdays sell. It’s Fridays and winter we can’t fill.
- We’ve paid agencies before and got nothing.
You pay directories every year whether couples visit or not. With us, you pay only when a couple walks through your door.

| When you pay | Every year, in advance | After a couple has attended |
| What you pay for | Being listed | A qualified couple at your viewing |
| Who checks the couple fits | You, one enquiry at a time | We check date, guests and budget first |
| Who chases | You | We follow up fast and send reminders |
| How you know it worked | Hard to tell | The couple is in your diary. You confirm they came. |
How it works
You give us fifteen minutes and your diary. We do the advertising, the checking and the chasing. You show couples round.

What lands in your diary
Not a name and an email address. A viewing, booked at a time you set, with the details you need to decide if it’s worth your morning.
We check the date, guest numbers and budget before the couple can book. Selling the wedding stays with you.

Who we work with
A good fit
Independent, owner-run venues: barns, country houses, estates and exclusive-use venues.
Open dates in 2027–28, especially Fridays, Sundays, midweek and winter.
Owners who’d rather pay for viewings than for being listed.
Not a fit
Hotel chains.
Venues that are already fully booked.
Anyone wanting us to sell the wedding. That part stays with you.
Founding venues, 2027–28
We’re taking on a small number of founding venues this season.
We’re a new agency. We don’t have case studies to show you yet, and we won’t make any up.
What we can offer is a fair start. During the trial we cover the advertising, up to a cap we agree with you. If couples don’t come, you don’t pay.
We’re not sure we’re the right fit for your venue yet. Let’s find out.
