150+
couples actively planning right now
More than 150 engaged couples are inside The Planning Room today — building budgets, locking dates, and searching for the exact kind of vendor you are. They aren't browsing ads. They're planning, and the vendors they meet while they plan are the ones they hire.
The Ecosystem
This isn't another wedding directory.
We're building two connected platforms — one for couples, one for the professionals they hire — so that discovery happens inside real planning, not inside a paid search result.
East Coast Wedding Collective
A curated regional community of premium wedding professionals, with editorial features, real weddings, and vendor profiles built to be discovered by couples planning on the East Coast.
The Planning Room
A free wedding planning platform for engaged couples — budgets, timelines, checklists, and vendor discovery in one place. Couples plan here, and meet trusted vendors while they do it.

Why Join Early
A limited founding window.
Founding Membership is open only while the platform is being built. We're intentionally keeping this first group small so every member gets real visibility, real editorial attention, and a voice in what we build next.
Future membership tiers will be priced higher as our couple audience grows. Founding Members lock in $299/year — the best value this platform will ever offer.

Why We're Different
Planning-first, not pay-to-play.
The traditional model
- — Pay for visibility
- — Compete against hundreds of vendors
- — Generic, interchangeable listings
Our model
- A curated community, not an open marketplace
- Regional focus on the East Coast
- A planning-first ecosystem couples actually use
- We invest in acquiring engaged couples
- A long-term marketplace connecting couples and vendors
Questions
Good to know
Who can join?
Any wedding professional serving the East Coast — photographers, videographers, planners, florists, DJs and bands, content creators, venues, HMUAs, rental and design companies, stationers, officiants, and more.
What states are included?
Our focus is the East Coast corridor: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. If you travel, you can list additional regions on your profile.
Is this only for luxury vendors?
No. We're curated, not exclusive by price point. We look for craft, consistency, professionalism, and a great client experience — at every budget level.
How does The Planning Room work?
It's a free planning platform for engaged couples: budgets, timelines, checklists, and guest details in one place. As couples plan, they discover vendors from the Collective right inside The Planning Room.
Why become a Founding Member now?
Founding Members shape the platform while it's being built, get first placement as couples arrive, and receive priority consideration for editorial features and future opportunities.
Will pricing increase?
Yes. Future membership tiers will be priced higher as the platform and couple audience grow. Founding Members keep $299/year for as long as their membership stays active.
