What is the “problem” that your tool seeks to solve?

Save people time, money, and stress in the wedding planning process.

What is the best audience for this tool? Corporate events? Social? Other? Large? Small?

Weddings and other social events primarily (mid- to large-scale); also helpful planning tool for corporate events.

What does your tool help event planners do better?

Our website cuts planning time down in half and helps save on costs since the vendors on GetWedForLess.com have been sourced for customer approval (on factors such as quality and responsiveness) and local market affordability.

How is your tool different from/better than the competition?

GetWedForLess.com is the only nationwide online resource that sources highly ranked, competitively priced wedding vendors. We share vendors offerings – in most cases, pricing as well – on a user-friendly, mobile-responsive platform.

After connecting with countless event professionals, we’ve realized many are frustrated with current wedding networks. Some vendors have expressed that they’ve paid almost over $1,500 a year on a couple sites to get featured and haven’t been able to see fruit from their hard-earned investment. We make it really affordable for vendors to promote their services and get featured with high visibility in their respective markets.

What is the single coolest feature of your product?

We really like the “VENDORS I ❤” feature. Once you “Login” or “Register” with an account, and you’ll be able to start saving all your favorite vendors with “VENDORS I ❤.” This allows you to easily access all your favorite vendors found in one convenient place.

This weekly series spotlights a new tech tool that is designed to help make planning events much more seamless. Whether it’s using event software to track every detail from start to finish or mobile apps that deliver content to attendees’ fingertips, these technologies allow planners to divert their stress to more critical issues like deciding which napkin color looks best.
