Jessica and three vendor partners in hard hats, looking over a blueprint together

For vendors and partners

Let's build something together

We're always looking to grow our Southwest Florida network — photographers, florists, DJs, caterers, venues, officiants, and other professionals who share our standards for craft, communication, and care.

How we choose

We only recommend vendors we would use ourselves

This will not be a directory of everyone who pays a referral fee — we don't take any. We accept partners one at a time, after a conversation and a look at your work, and we don't recommend anyone we haven't done that with. The list is short right now because we started in 2026.

What partnering looks like

Six things we commit to

We don't charge fees or take kickbacks. Some of these work today; some start when there are enough partners to make them real. Each one below says which.

A place in the client portal

When you're accepted, we add you to the client portal as a recommended vendor in your category, with your full info, portfolio, and direct contact. Clients see you there when they're choosing.

A listing when the directory opens

We'll publish a preferred-vendors page once there are enough accepted partners to make it worth publishing. You get a dedicated profile on it. It does not exist yet.

Cross-tags on work we do together

Any event we work together, we post and tag you. This starts with the first event — we have no back catalogue to tag you into.

Styled shoots, once there's a roster

We intend to run styled shoots and share the results across partner channels. First one is not scheduled. We'll tell you when it is rather than implying it's already a rhythm.

Direct planner-to-vendor contact

You talk to us through the portal, not through the client. This one works today — it's how we already run the events we're booking.

First call in your category

Once you're a partner, when a client needs your category you're who we call first. If your date is booked we move on — no pressure, no penalty.

How partnership works

Four steps, no contracts up front

Nothing is permanent until we've worked an event together.

1. Apply

Tell us who you are and what you do.

2. Coffee chat

A real conversation, not an interview.

3. Trial project

We work one event together before anything is permanent.

4. Network add

You go into the portal and the directory.

Where the network stands

Being built right now

We launched in 2026 and we're not going to publish a preferred-vendor list before it's real. Applications are open; the directory appears when there is something honest to put in it.
