Wedding directories are print or online resources that help couples research and compare services for their wedding. They bring together listings for businesses such as venues, caterers, photographers, florists, celebrants, entertainers, transport providers and bridal shops. Entries typically include descriptions, service details, photographs and ways to contact the business, with online directories often offering search filters by location, service type or other criteria. Some directories also publish planning articles, checklists, ideas and information about wedding trends or practical arrangements. Businesses may pay to appear in a directory or choose a particular level of listing, while couples can usually browse listings without charge. The information available varies: a directory may provide basic contact details, or include links to portfolios, customer reviews and booking enquiries.
