Why we built it
Planning a luxury wedding means making a handful of large decisions with very little reliable information.
Wedding directories have long been lists of whoever paid to appear, with descriptions written to sell. Couples are left to work out what is true by reading between the lines.
We wanted the opposite: a collection that is selected, where every page tells you what a venue or creative is, where it is, what it costs, who it suits, and how we know.
What we hold to

Said plainly
Specific facts in plain language. No borrowed superlatives, no pages written to sell.
Attributed honestly
We say where a fact comes from, and what we have not been able to check.

The conversationAura, our planning assistantTell it what you are looking for. It answers from the same records, and tells you when it does not know.
How we treat a fact
Three states, never blurred.
A fact is shown as confirmed only when it has been confirmed. What a business tells us about itself is labelled as its own account. What we do not know, we say we do not know.
"Yes. This planner works in Spain."
We have checked it against evidence."According to the planner, they offer services in Spain."
Shown as theirs until we can confirm it."I cannot confirm that yet. I can ask them directly as part of your enquiry."
We never fill a gap with a guess.Where it is going
More of the world, and more of the people who make a wedding.
- More destinations, each built with the same care as the first.
- More creatives, found by where they really work.
- Better tools to move from inspiration, to a shortlist, to a conversation with the people you have chosen.
