⚠️ 6 Wedding Marketplace Gotchas to Watch For
Non-Refundable Deposits:HIGH Booking deposits (often 25-50%) are typically non-refundable regardless of circumstances, including vendor cancellation or service changes
Photo/Content Rights:MEDIUM Platforms often claim perpetual rights to use wedding photos and vendor portfolios for marketing, even after you leave the platform
Lead Fee Structures:HIGH For vendors: You may pay per lead/inquiry regardless of whether it converts, with no refunds for spam inquiries or no-shows
Review Manipulation Policies:MEDIUM Platforms prohibit incentivizing reviews but allow vendors to "respond" prominently—negative reviews may not be removable even if factually incorrect
Exclusivity Clauses:HIGH Some vendor agreements prohibit listing on competing platforms or require you to honor platform-negotiated rates that may be below market
Date Change Policies:MEDIUM Changing wedding dates may trigger new contracts, forfeit deposits, or incur "rebooking fees" even if the vendor has availability
