What's Included

A complete wedding sales operation

Weddings by WedStay is not a listing upgrade. It is your dedicated wedding sales and operations team, included with your partnership.

Every Lead, Worked to Close

From first inquiry to signed contract: fast responses, nurturing sequences, follow-ups, and phone closing by a team that books weddings every week.

Payment Collection & Timelines

We collect deposits and payments, manage the full payment schedule, and chase nothing past due so you never have an awkward money conversation.

Financing for Couples

Qualified couples can split their booking into payments through our financing partner, which closes weddings that a lump-sum quote would lose.

Special Event Insurance

Event insurance for US domestic destinations on every booking, administered by us, with claim filing handled if anything ever goes wrong.

Security Deposit Handling

We hold, reconcile, and return security deposits, and we manage any damage conversations directly with the couple.

Contracts & Back-of-House

Booking contracts, logistics coordination, and all the operational paperwork that comes with hosting a wedding weekend.

Suggested Vendor Lists

Couples get curated vendor recommendations from The WedStay Collective, including your preferred vendors when you share them with us.

Post-Booking Support

Every question between booking and wedding day comes to us first: guest counts, timelines, arrival details, and property rules.

Quarterly Strategy

Regular strategy sessions on pricing, positioning, and demand for your market, so your property earns what it should.

The Booking Experience

What happens to every lead

This is the exact journey each inquiry takes once it reaches WedStay. Your couples get a concierge-level experience, and you get complete confidence nothing slips through.

1

An inquiry arrives

From your WedStay listing, the calculator on your own website, or an email you forward to us. Every lead lands in the same managed pipeline and is logged the day it arrives.

2

We respond fast and qualify

Couples hear back quickly with accurate pricing and real answers. We qualify budget, dates, and guest count so your calendar only holds serious inquiries.

3

We nurture and close by phone

Follow-up sequences keep warm couples engaged, and our team closes on the phone. Financing is offered where it helps a couple say yes.

4

Contract, insurance, and deposit

We handle the booking contract, place special event insurance, and collect the deposit. You get a confirmed wedding on your calendar without touching paperwork.

5

Payments and coordination through the big day

We manage the payment schedule, answer every couple question, coordinate vendors and logistics, and handle security deposits and any claims afterward.

From a WedStay Partner
Handing our wedding inquiries to WedStay gave us our weekends back. We spend our time on the property and our guests, our brand stays exactly ours, and the bookings keep coming without us hiring anyone or learning new software.

What couples say about booking with us

This is the experience your leads receive the moment they reach WedStay.

We found our dream estate in Tuscany through WedStay and the entire experience was flawless. The team helped us coordinate everything from guest accommodations to recommending local vendors. The pricing transparency alone saved us months of back-and-forth.

We just booked our Tulum villa through WedStay and the process was so smooth. Transparent pricing, easy booking, and we found our photographer and caterer through their vendor collective.

I DMed WedStay on TikTok after seeing their reel and within 24 hours had a full list of properties in my budget. Insanely fast response. Even though we're still deciding, the experience has been top tier.

The Embeddable Calculator

Put your pricing calculator on your own site

The same calculator that powers your WedStay listing, embedded on your website. Couples who find you directly get instant pricing, and those inquiries route straight to our booking team.

1

Request your snippet

Ask your WedStay contact or email info@thewedstay.com. We generate a snippet unique to your property, in a light or dark theme to match your site, and can send it straight to your web person with install instructions.

2

Paste it on your weddings page

One copy-and-paste. Works on WordPress, Squarespace, Showit, Wix, and custom sites, and we provide a script-free version for builders that strip code. Most installs take about five minutes and need no developer.

3

We confirm it is live

Once installed, activity from your website appears in our analytics the same day. We verify the calculator renders correctly on your site and that inquiries are attributing to your domain.

What it does for you
  • Couples on YOUR website get an instant, accurate estimate for your property
  • Every inquiry flows directly to the WedStay booking team, priced and verified
  • You see nothing to manage: no forms to check, no inbox to monitor

Get a lead somewhere else? Forward it.

Any wedding inquiry that reaches you directly, whether by email, social media message, or a phone conversation, just forward it to us with your property name in the subject line. It is logged the same day and handled by the same team, on the same terms.

Your Website

Wedding landing page best practices

Your own website is often a couple's first impression. These six practices are what we see converting across the portfolio.

A dedicated /weddings page

Give weddings their own URL on your site instead of a paragraph on the homepage. It focuses your message and gives couples, and search engines, a clear destination.

Lead with the property set for a ceremony

Your hero photo should show the wedding, not the rental: the lawn with an arch, the terrace set for dinner. Couples need to picture their day in the first second.

Capacity and lodging above the fold

Guest capacity, bedrooms, and how many people can stay on site are the first questions every couple asks. Answer them before anyone scrolls.

Make the calculator your primary call to action

An instant estimate beats a contact form every time. Place the embedded calculator prominently and let it do the qualifying for you.

Show real weddings

Photos from actual events at your property, with a testimonial or two, outsell any stock gallery. Ask us for reviews couples have left about your property on WedStay.

Answer the practical questions

A short FAQ on noise rules, vendor access, parking, and rain plans saves email rounds and builds trust with planners.

Rather not build it yourself?
