Prints the price
Every listing carries a starting figure and states which of the four service tiers that figure buys. A number without its tier is not a comparable number, so the two are never separated.
About this site
Best Wedding Planners lists wedding planners and venues with the price and the constraints printed on the page. It exists because the two things a couple most needs in order to shortlist are the two things this industry withholds longest.
What it does
Ranks inside one market
Each market has its own list, ordered on local prices, local venue relationships and local availability.
Puts everything on one page
Price, tier, credential, track record and contact details all sit on the ranked page, so two businesses can be compared side by side.
Sends you to the business
No booking, no payments, no lead resale. You contact the planner directly. The moment a directory takes a cut of the booking it stops being able to rank honestly.

Every listing here is a real business. Prices, founding years, weddings delivered and credentials are taken from what each company publishes on its own website, and every listing links out so any of it can be checked. Where a business publishes nothing, the listing shows a gap rather than an estimate.
Known gaps
- Real photography. Every image slot is a labelled placeholder
- Ratings need a licensed source before launch, Google Places, attributed, or nothing
- The ranking method describes a process that would need staffing and a written appeals route
- Privacy work covering listed individuals is drafted but unreviewed
These are listed rather than quietly carried. A directory that cannot state what it has not yet built has no business asking anyone to trust its rankings.
Common questions
What is BestWeddingPlanners.net?
A ranked directory of US wedding planners and venues, organised by metro. Every listing carries the price, the credentials and the track record the business publishes about itself, so a shortlist can be built without filling in six enquiry forms first.
Where does the information on each listing come from?
The business's own website. Prices, founding years, weddings delivered, service tiers and credentials are taken from what each company publishes, and every listing links out so any of it can be checked. Nothing is estimated or filled in to make a row look complete.
Why do some listings have no price on them?
Because that business does not publish one. A blank is more useful than an invented number or a cell reading 'on enquiry', and it tells you something real about how that firm sells. Around a third of the planners listed here publish a starting fee.
Can a business pay to be listed or ranked higher?
No. Ranking is set by what each business publishes and how long it has been trading, and the method is written out in full on the How we rank page.
How often are listings updated?
Listings are re-checked against each business's website in research passes. Prices in this industry change annually, and a few venues here publish next year's rate alongside this year's, which is noted on the listing where they do.
Why are there no profile pages for each planner?
Because a profile page would be a thinner copy of the listing you are already reading. Everything needed to shortlist is on the ranked row itself, and the link goes straight to the business rather than to another page on this site.
How are planners chosen for inclusion?
By hand, from published evidence. A business needs a working website, a verifiable location in the market it is listed under, and enough published detail to describe it factually. Businesses that turned out to be based elsewhere, or that are venues or florists rather than planners, are excluded.
Do you take commission on bookings?
No. Listings link directly to each business's own website, and enquiries go to them rather than through this site.
How do I report an error on a listing?
Through the Get listed page. Corrections are checked against the business's own website, which is the source every fact here comes from, so the fastest fix is usually to update the page the listing is drawn from.
Is this site affiliated with any wedding planner or venue?
No. There is no ownership relationship with any business listed.
