Vendor comparison

Compare wedding vendors like you actually mean it

Comparing florists on a phone in WedBuild: each with a score, a quote and where it's up to, from Meeting to Quote Received to Selected
Side by side, like for like

Photographers, florists and caterers side by side, on the criteria you care about, with a paper trail your future self will thank you for.

Free for up to 50 guests, with every Pro tool for your first 7 days. No card needed.

  • ProVendor comparison, with scores and the budget link

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.

How it fits together

The decision is half budget anyway

Vendor choices are budget choices, which is why vendor spending ties into the wedding budget tracker, and why your planning dashboard shows both side by side. Browse all the wedding planning tools to see the whole kit.

What you can do

Three quotes, one fair comparison.

Every Pro tool is free for your first 7 days, so you can try all of it before you choose.

Up close

Decision-grade comparisons, not vibes.

Wedding vendor comparison table with vendors side by side

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.

Vendor dashboard with categories, statuses and aggregate stats

Shortlisted, contacted, booked, all 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.

Adding a wedding vendor with details and pricing

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.

How it works

Three steps to the right people.

  1. Set up your categories

    Photographers, florists, caterers, celebrants, each with the comparison fields that matter for that decision.

  2. Add vendors as you find them

    Capture quotes, notes and details while they're fresh, and set statuses as conversations progress.

  3. Compare, choose, book

    Line the shortlist up side by side, pick your people, and let the booking flow into your budget.

Questions

Before you compare quotes.

What can I compare vendors on?

Anything. Each category has its own custom fields, so photographers can be compared on style and hours while caterers are compared on per-head price and dietaries. Add statuses (shortlisted, contacted, booked), notes and details per vendor.

Does it connect to my budget?

Yes. Vendor spending ties into your WedBuild budget, so accepted quotes land against the right category and your planned-versus-actual stays honest without double entry.

Can I export my comparisons?

Yes. Any comparison exports to Excel, which is handy when parents or the wedding party want to weigh in without getting an app login involved.

Vendor comparison with scoring and the vendor–budget integration are part of WedBuild's Pro plan (A$199 one-time, two years of access, unlimited guests). No subscription, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Start free with your guest list and website, and upgrade when vendor season begins.
