What's new

Every wedding business can now create and publish a listing on Your Wedding Atlas for free.

The new Free plan gives vendors a straightforward way to build their presence, show couples what they offer, and receive inquiries. Vendors who want greater visibility in relevant discovery experiences can choose Pro.

What’s new

• Free listings for every vendor

  • Create a listing at no cost.
  • Add photos, services, packages, location details, and contact information.
  • Appear in relevant vendor search, map, location, and category discovery experiences.
  • Receive and manage couple inquiries from your inbox.

• A simpler choice between Free and Pro

  • Free is for vendors who want to establish their listing and be discoverable on Your Wedding Atlas.
  • Pro includes everything in Free, with stronger visibility in relevant map, location, and category discovery experiences.
  • Pro is available monthly or yearly, with prices shown in supported local currencies.

• A smoother path to publishing

  • Vendor onboarding makes it easier to choose a category, add where you work, describe your services, upload photos, and select a plan before publishing.
  • Once your listing is live, you can return to the Listing Editor to keep your details up to date.

Why we made this change

We want it to be easier for great wedding businesses to join Your Wedding Atlas early, build a complete profile, and become discoverable as more couples plan on the platform.

Free gives every vendor a place to start. Pro is there for vendors who want to invest in additional visibility as they grow.

Planning with a vendor should not mean piecing together messages, agreements, payment details, and important dates across different places. This update brings more of that journey together in Your Wedding Atlas, from the first inquiry through to a confirmed booking.

Couples can now contact vendors directly through the app and keep the conversation, booking details, optional agreement, and payment progress together in one place. Vendors can review each request, respond to availability, and manage the next steps without moving the conversation elsewhere.

What’s new

• Message a vendor directly

  • Couples can start an inquiry from a vendor’s listing and share the details that matter, such as their wedding date, guest count, and what they are looking for.
  • The inquiry opens a private conversation between the couple and vendor, giving both sides one place to ask questions and discuss the celebration.
  • Vendors can review the request and confirm whether they are available before a booking moves forward.

• A more useful inbox

  • Conversations are easier to review, with unread filtering and message search.
  • Search can find a word or phrase from a past message and show the relevant part of that conversation.
  • Booking updates now appear alongside the conversation they relate to, so important next steps are easier to spot.

• A clearer booking journey

  • After a vendor confirms availability, the inquiry can move into a booking.
  • Both sides can follow the booking progress from the same conversation, rather than relying on a separate chain of emails.
  • The conversation makes it clear whether the booking is waiting for an agreement, a payment, or is confirmed.
  • Couples can return to the conversation whenever they need to review the vendor, date, booking status, or next step.

• Optional agreements for vendors and couples

  • Vendors can send a PDF agreement from the booking conversation when they need one.
  • The vendor reviews the document, enters their legal name, and agrees to use an electronic signature before sending it.
  • Couples can open the agreement, read it in a separate tab, and sign by entering their legal name and agreeing to use an electronic signature.
  • Once both sides have signed, the document stays attached to the booking as the signed version. If changes are needed before signing, the vendor can withdraw it and send a new agreement.
  • Agreements are optional. A vendor can still manage a booking without sending one.

• Payments and booking confirmation in the same flow

  • Once a vendor is ready to proceed, the couple can pay through the booking conversation to confirm the booking.
  • A booking can include an initial payment and a remaining balance, with each amount and due date shown clearly.
  • Payment requests, completed payments, and upcoming balances stay connected to the booking instead of getting lost in messages.
  • Couples receive reminders when a payment needs attention, and both sides can see when the booking is confirmed, cancelled, or needs action.
  • If a required payment is not completed by its deadline, the booking may be cancelled so availability is not held indefinitely.

How it works

1. A couple finds a vendor and sends an inquiry. They can introduce themselves and share their wedding details directly from the vendor’s listing.
2. The vendor reviews availability. The vendor can accept the inquiry and continue planning, or decline if they are unavailable.
3. The conversation becomes the shared booking space. Both sides can continue messaging while they work through the details.
4. The vendor can send an agreement if one is needed. Both parties review and sign the same document before it becomes the signed version for that booking.
5. The couple completes the required payment. Payment progress and any remaining balance stay visible in the booking.
6. The booking is confirmed. Both the couple and vendor can return to the conversation to see the confirmed status and their shared booking details.

A better experience for both sides

For couples, the goal is a simpler way to keep track of what is happening with a vendor. For vendors, it is a more organized way to move from an inquiry to a confirmed booking without losing the conversation along the way.

We will keep refining the booking experience as more vendors and couples use it.

Your Wedding Atlas is now internationalized across our supported English-speaking markets. This update makes the app more useful for couples and vendors planning weddings across different countries, with market-specific browsing, currencies, and checkout behavior now working together.

The first supported country routes are /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz, covering Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. These market routes are now part of the core app structure instead of being treated as simple redirects.

Features & Improvements

• English-region market support is now live

  • Your Wedding Atlas now supports dedicated English market experiences for Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Core pages now use market-aware routes such as /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz so visitors can browse from the country experience that best matches them.
  • Shared pages like vendor discovery, vendor profiles, releases, blog posts, search, and vendor onboarding now work inside the localized market structure.
  • Country-specific browsing is now more consistent across the app, making it easier to explore vendors and planning tools from the right regional experience.

• Multi-currency vendor payments

  • Vendor listing subscriptions can now be paid in supported regional currencies.
  • Supported checkout currencies now include CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, and NZD.
  • Vendor pricing pages and checkout flows now display the right currency based on the selected market, the user’s currency preference, or existing billing activity.
  • For example, a vendor joining from /ca can see and pay in CAD, while a vendor joining from /uk can see and pay in GBP.
  • If a user explicitly changes their currency preference, pricing can reflect that preference where the selected currency is supported.

• Improved billing consistency

  • Vendor onboarding and sales-link checkout now use the same pricing catalog.
  • Vendor checkout now resolves pricing through the same product pricing system whether a vendor starts from the public join page or a private invitation link.
  • If an account already has Stripe billing activity in one currency, future subscriptions for that account stay in that billing currency.
  • Checkout summaries, promo codes, taxes, recurring totals, and final payment amounts are now more consistent across standard onboarding and sales-link flows.

• Language and currency preferences

  • The language and currency switcher has been expanded into a combined interface.
  • Users can choose a supported market language and currency more clearly from the app menu and footer.
  • Currency preferences now flow into pricing and checkout surfaces where supported.
  • The app now has a cleaner foundation for future localized language expansion beyond English.

Notes

• This release focuses on English-language market support rather than full translation into non-English languages.
• The active English market routes are /ca, /us, /uk, /ie, /au, and /nz.
• The active app subscription checkout currencies are CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, and NZD.
• More localized content, regional vendor discovery improvements, and future language expansion will build on this internationalization foundation.
• Vendor package currencies are separate from app subscription billing, so vendors can still present their own package pricing in the currencies that fit their business.

What’s coming next

• Future translation work will build on this foundation, with potential localized language experiences such as fr-CA, lv-LV, it-IT, and other country-language combinations.
• Upcoming localization work will focus on translated content, regional vendor discovery, and better planning experiences for couples and vendors outside the initial English market rollout.

This release turns shared wedding workspaces into the main planning foundation and brings the Guest List tool into a usable public state. Users can now work from an owned workspace, collaborate across shared workspaces, and manage guest list data inside the correct workspace context. 🎉

This update focuses on two things: a new, human‑friendly sitemap to help you discover pages across the site, and a smoother mobile map experience that feels more like a modern marketplace.

If browsing has ever felt a little cramped or unclear on mobile, this should feel noticeably better.

Features & Improvements

• New human‑readable sitemap

  • Added a new /explore page that works like a “site map for humans.”
  • It pulls together locations, categories, vendors, help articles, blog posts, and releases in one place.
  • There’s now a simple “Sitemap” link in the footer so it’s easy to find.

• Mobile map browsing feels more natural

  • The list now opens in a half‑map / half‑list view by default, so you can see both at once.
  • You can drag the list down to a peek state when you want the map to take over.
  • A “Show map” button appears once the list covers the map, so getting back to the map is always one tap away.

• Better spacing around pins and labels

  • The map now leaves breathing room at the top and bottom so pins don’t hide under the header or list.
  • This makes the map easier to scan and reduces the feeling of “clipping” while you explore.

Bug fixes

• Fixed cases where the mobile map loading pill wasn’t visible.
• Smoothed out spacing near the bottom of the map on mobile so the map footer doesn’t feel cramped.

This update focuses on two things: a more reliable, “app-like” experience across the site, and a refreshed map experience that makes exploring areas feel clearer and more natural. If the site has ever felt a bit jumpy, inconsistent, or slower than you expected, this release should feel noticeably better.

Here's what we have so far, but there's more to come.

Features & Improvements

• New spatial map look and feel

  • The map now uses a cleaner, calmer style so locations are easier to read at a glance.
  • Roads and land/water areas have better contrast, so the map feels less noisy while you browse.
  • Important places stand out more clearly, without the map competing with the listings.

• More stable browsing (less “jumpiness”)

  • Search results and vendor grids now load in a way that feels steadier and more predictable.
  • Fewer layout shifts while listings appear, so the page does not move around as you scroll.
  • Vendor images and cards feel more consistent as content loads.

• Smoother exploration

  • Browsing around and changing areas feels more fluid and less disruptive.
  • Map-based exploration feels closer to a modern marketplace experience, where the map supports discovery instead of distracting from it.

• Clearer expectations for what is coming next

  • We also published a Tools roadmap so you can see what planning tools are on the way.
  • Guest List (with RSVP tracking) is the first full tool in progress and will unlock other tools that build on it.

Bug fixes

• Fixed cases where the map could show an unexpected default style instead of the intended design.
• Fixed cases where map updates could feel inconsistent while exploring different areas.
• Fixed small UI issues that could cause content to shift or flicker during load.

We kicked off the year with a stability-focused release that makes browsing feel smoother and more predictable — especially across search, results grids, and the map. This work also sets up the next wave of more visible updates coming soon ✨

Improvements

• A faster, smoother “app feel” across core browsing flows.
• Less page “jumping” as results load, so scrolling stays steady.
• Vendor grids and media load more consistently with fewer visual shifts.
• A refreshed map style that better matches the marketplace UI and feels calmer to browse.
• More reliable location browsing:
  • Location search respects hierarchy more consistently.
  • Map reactions (like how the view updates) behave more predictably.
• More consistent search bar and navbar behavior while scrolling.

Bug fixes

• Fixed edge cases that could cause map visuals to fall back or feel inconsistent.
• Fixed layout and spacing issues that could trigger noticeable content shifting during load.
• Fixed small search UI state issues that could make browsing feel out of sync.
