EventScoop.co vs. WeddingPro
WeddingPro is a way to advertise your business to a large number of people… but only if you pay thousands of dollars first. EventScoop.co doesn’t deal in “featured vendor” labels that aren’t affordable to newer vendors.

Anything they can do, we can do better!
The cost of a WeddingPro membership can run you up to or even over $8,000 depending on the market you’re in.
Not to mention, the companies aren’t transparent about their pricing model so you have to enter their sales funnel and meet with account managers before you get a straight answer as to what you’ll be paying annually.
Based on the information we found on online forums, it seems that the contract sneakily locks you into a two-year commitment with a clause that forces you to renew after a year. It’s also unfortunate that you have to commit for a full year, even if your business is brand new.
WeddingPro will let you cancel the membership as long as you provide proof that you’re closing your business permanently. They’ve forced vendors to remove their profiles on other vendor sites before prorating their refund. This isn’t stated in the contract explicitly but it is enforced. How weird is that?
Tired of receiving spam messages or fake leads?
We’ve got you covered. To protect our users time and energy, we’ve added security features for messaging that requires Captcha authentication for the first messages between you and a lead.
If you see something fishy, you can flag it for us and limit your communications with that lead.
Based on our research, we’ve found that WeddingPro has succumbed to the common issue of fake leads that many of these platforms experience. Users have accused WeddingPro, and similar sites, of fabricating leads to make money from vendors who engage with those leads. Yikes.
There will be no gatekeeping here! We want to make sure every vendor has the opportunity to grow their business on our platform. We don’t require you to pay additional fees to be a “featured vendor.”
Our verification process is included in your monthly payment, and that’s all.
You can gain badges based on your interactions on the platform to make your profile more eye-catching, but it doesn’t affect where you stand in search results. Therefore, it doesn’t negatively impact newer vendors – it’s more of a cherry on top as you grow more established
