Coco Wedding Venues is a curated platform. This means we work with venues that we believe will appeal to the couples that use our platform.

Before accepting a venue, we review your online presence, including your website, additional marketing collateral (brochures, testimonials, and reviews), and your social media channels.

Your website should be functional across all devices and sales-driven. The imagery must be professional, inspiring, and inclusive, and the styling of weddings should feel current. Testimonials from your recent couples are also important.

If you’re new to the market, we will look for CADs and illustrations that allow the couple to visualise the venue and space.

We want to learn about you, your story, and your ‘why’ in weddings. What can couples expect from you and your team, and why should they choose you to host their celebration?

Eco credentials are a key factor, so we want to know if you’re making steps towards being a more sustainable venue or are a B Corp business.

Our Media Pack details three simple options, but our standard option is £235 + VAT for 12 months.

That’s less than £20 per month or just £4.50 per week.

And, once we get down to referrals the average CPA for each venue equals 90p.

We only offer 12-month memberships because venue hunting is seasonal, with high and low venue hunting months throughout the year.

New venues will be charged a £45.00 + VAT admin fee, and re-joining venues will be charged £30.00 + VAT.

Marketing a wedding venue shouldn’t be a short-term plan due to seasonal fluctuations in engagements and wedding planning activities. Couples get engaged and start planning their weddings throughout the year, making a consistent, year-round presence essential for reaching potential clients at the right time. Therefore, a 12-month directory listing is optimal for maximising return on investment (ROI), as it ensures continuous visibility and engagement with couples whenever they begin (or pick up) their search for the perfect venue.

While we don't offer free trial periods, we do provide detailed information and, if required, demonstrations of the platform to help you make an informed decision. Please let us know if you need any specific information or assistance.

Our platform simply offers an introduction.

The conversion of leads to sales depends on factors beyond our control, such as the quality of your website, the speed of your enquiry responses, the show-round experience, marketing materials, packages, and more.

It’s vital your website and sales team can handle and nurture referrals; otherwise, we may not offer the right return on your investment.

The Venue Finder's default view is 'Inspire Me,' and the venue listing order changes frequently based on a random algorithm.

When couples add filters, we will match their requirements to the filters applied to each venue listing. Again, unless a venue is boosted in a specific location, the venues will be shown to the couple in a random list.

Couples can choose to sort their view, and this will override our algorithm.

You have control over the listing; however, we have a simple submission process for updates to ensure that the listings remain consistent across the platform.

Your updates go through an editorial process to check spelling and grammar, including checking the images are professional and don't include cropping, watermarks, etc. We also format, resize, and check image quality for you. We finally add in the crediting for the photographers. We can advise on the best photos for hero images and snippets.

Basically, you have an in-house marketing team on hand.

If a couple uses our direct messaging system, you will receive a branded enquiry straight to your email with their contact information. The enquiry will include the couple’s names, key wedding details and any additional message they wish to include. You can hit reply to email the couple.

However, we also suggest using Google Analytics to track your website referrals from us. Over 80% of our couples will be coming directly to your website and enquiring with you via email, so please ask where they found you, although they will probably say Google!

The number of referrals you will receive depends on several factors.

First, of course, is the number of couples looking to get married in your area. Next is the effectiveness of your listing compared to other venues in your area. We will provide you with stats, so you know both, and we'll work with you to make your listing stand out and maximise its potential. We also give you the platform average, indicating how the market is currently performing.

Yes. In addition to having access to your impressions, engagement, and leads generated through our platform, we think it’s important to understand the broader market. We share monthly marketing tips on our Trend Report, tell you who your local competitors are, and give you access to key marketing tools.

We're a small and efficient team, so you will always know who to contact and how to contact us if you need assistance.

We have clear support hours and a route to contact us if anything is urgent.

We also have a Knowledge Base on the member’s portal to assist with quick search queries.

Our group discounts start at 10%, so please mention how many venues you are looking to market when enquiring with us.

Each venue within the group must meet our requirements.

If you’re new to the platform, we must receive a reconciled payment before publishing your venue. We offer payment options by card and BACS. Full payment terms are given in a Welcome Pack when you join.

Yes! We love discovering new venues.

We can create a basic listing if you’ve yet to launch. Still, we will need either professional imagery of the site, or architect renders and illustrations showing how the venue will look when completed.

Most couples are looking for a venue to marry and celebrate, but not all the venues we list have a marriage license. If that’s you, and your license is either pending or it’s not something you’re looking to have, we can still list your venue, but the leads generated may reflect demand.

You must adhere to all legal obligations and operational requirements as a wedding venue and ensure your continued compliance.

All contracts are between you and the couple.
