WedStay in ChatGPT

Connect WedStay's MCP server in ChatGPT and ChatGPT can show wedding venues listed on WedStay as cards, compare them side by side, estimate the cost of a wedding stay, and send a booking request or a tour request from a form in the chat. No WedStay account or API key is needed.

Connect WedStay

In ChatGPT developer mode, or in any MCP client, use this address:

https://mcp.wedstay.com/api/ai/mcp

Then ask about wedding venues in any chat. See MCP Server for the tools and the protocol details.

What you can ask

Booking requests

The form asks for check-in and check-out dates, event guests, overnight guests (optional), name, email, phone (optional) and a message (optional), and asks "OK if WedStay texts you about this request?". Sending a request authorizes no charge. A WedStay concierge replies within 24 hours.

Tour requests

The form has a Book and Tour switch at the top. In Tour mode the couple picks In person ("Walk the property") or Live video ("The host shows you around on a live video call"), and gives estimated dates and guests, name, email, phone (required for tours), an optional message and the texting answer, then selects Request tour.

Tours start with a short call with the WedStay team, so the request is saved first and the form shows "Almost done: book your call" with a Book your call button. The button opens WedStay's call page with the couple's name and email already filled in; for a new request the same link is also emailed to them. Once the call is booked, the tour request is sent within about 10 minutes; if it cannot be sent automatically, the WedStay team sends it by hand. The fully refundable tour deposit ($1,000 in person, $250 live video) is arranged on the call. Nothing is charged in ChatGPT.

What it does not do

• It shows only venues listed on WedStay.
• It cannot check whether a date is available.
• It takes no payments, including the tour deposit.
• Vendor search answers in text, without cards.

Privacy

What WedStay receives from ChatGPT, and how long it is kept, is in the "AI Assistant Access" section of the privacy policy.

Custom GPT Action (REST API)

If you are building your own GPT, you can still add WedStay as an action that calls the REST API.

Step 1: Open ChatGPT Actions

1. Go to ChatGPT
2. Click your name in the sidebar, then My GPTs
3. Create a new GPT or edit an existing one
4. Go to the Configure tab
5. Scroll down to Actions and click Create new action

Step 2: Import the OpenAPI spec

In the action editor, click Import from URL and enter:

https://www.thewedstay.com/api/v1/openapi.json

ChatGPT will automatically discover all available endpoints.

Step 3: Configure authentication

1. Click Authentication
2. Select API Key
3. Set Auth Type to Bearer
4. Enter your WedStay API key: ws_live_...

Step 4: Test

Click Test next to any endpoint to verify it works. Try searching venues:

GET /api/v1/venues?state=california

Step 5: Save and use

Save your GPT. You can now ask it questions like:

• "Search for wedding venues in Texas that sleep 20+ people"
• "What would a weekend wedding in California cost for 60 guests?"
• "Find me a DJ in the Los Angeles area"

Privacy policy

When setting up the action, use this privacy policy URL:
