Vendor comparison
Compare wedding vendors like you actually mean it
Photographers, florists, caterers — side by side, on the criteria you care about, with a paper trail your future self will thank you for.
Somewhere around the fourth photographer quote, every couple invents the same spreadsheet: names down the side, prices across the top, a column called 'vibe'. Two weeks later it has three tabs, conflicting numbers, and nobody remembers which florist said she'd waive delivery.
WedBuild's vendor comparison is that spreadsheet, done properly — organised by category, compared on your criteria, tied to your budget, and exportable when the family asks to weigh in.
Decision-grade comparisons, not vibes
Compare on the criteria you care about
Every category gets its own custom fields — price, availability, style, travel fees, that indefinable 'gets it' factor. Score vendors side by side on what matters for that decision, instead of forcing florists and DJs into the same five columns.
Table, spreadsheet or cards — your call
Switch between table, spreadsheet and card views depending on whether you're skimming or deciding, and go full-screen when the shortlist gets serious. Your preferred view is remembered, because you'll be back.
Shortlisted, contacted, booked — tracked
Give every vendor a status and filter by it, so 'who haven't we heard back from?' takes two seconds, not a scroll through your email. Search runs across every category, and the dashboard shows the state of play at a glance.
Tied to your budget, exportable to Excel
Vendor spending flows into your WedBuild budget, so the quote you accept and the category it hits stay one number. Need outside opinions? Export any comparison to Excel and let your mum annotate to her heart's content.
