Vera, your Verdeaux concierge, walks you through every decision — the vendors to shortlist, the contracts to read carefully, the budget that holds it all together. The research runs in the background; the decisions stay yours. That's wedding decision support.
17 categories × 4–6 hrs average research time = 68–102 hrs across a full engagement
"I had toured three venues before I realised I didn't actually know what questions I was supposed to be asking."
what I hear from couples constantly"I sent my first vendor inquiry and immediately felt out of my depth. I didn't know what I was asking for or what I should expect back."
the moment I built this to prevent"Every category felt like starting from scratch. Venues, photographers, florists — they all have completely different things to know and I had no organized way to approach any of them."
why preparation changes everything"I had tabs open from six different photographers with no way to actually compare them. I didn't even know what I was comparing."
the scatter is realFour hours of browser tabs on photographers and you're more confused than when you started. No apples-to-apples comparison. No way to tell what's actually different.
You're handed a 9-page venue contract and expected to know which clauses are standard, which are negotiable, and which are genuinely dangerous. Neither of you is a lawyer.
Vendor meetings feel like job interviews where you didn't read the posting. You leave unsure what you missed — and you stayed quiet about the thing that mattered because you didn't want to look like you didn't know what you were doing.
You said yes to each other. Then every evening became a research session. Every weekend a decision. The year before your wedding shouldn't evaporate into logistics.
Vera proposes a budget number, a vendor shortlist, a contract flag — and waits. You see an Apply card. You decide. Nothing lands in your plan until you click. Every confirmed decision logs with the reasoning behind it, so months from now you can see exactly what you chose and why. Verdeaux works the way a planner does: research, recommendations, and the final call stays yours.
Verdeaux's budget is a living system, not a spreadsheet that goes stale the moment you sign a contract. Lock your venue once you have a confirmed price and the system reallocates pressure across the other categories — quietly nudging the gaps closed. The slider at the bottom is for reflection, not for driving. You decide; the math keeps up.
When Verdeaux runs a vendor search on your behalf, a banner explains the parameters: "Top 5 venues ranked by Google rating × review count, within 25 miles, in your $$$ band, scaled for 130 guests, semi-formal aesthetic." If something looks off — wrong radius, wrong band — you refine the search. Your own pick appears in column one of the comparison, so you're comparing your candidate against the field, not five strangers.
A 25% escalation clause matters because of your $8,500 rental. A two-hour vendor setup window matters because you have 130 guests, a florist, a caterer, and a DJ. Verdeaux reads contracts against the wedding you're actually planning — and every flag comes with the exact language to use when you push back. You make the call. We make sure you see what's there.
That's the real trade — it's the weekend afternoons that disappear into browser tabs when you're supposed to be enjoying your engagement.
Solid — just on weekends back. Vendor savings come on top of that.
I’ve been my daughter’s sounding board for a long time — especially after her mom passed away. Wedding planning wasn’t exactly my area of expertise, but when she got engaged, I saw firsthand how overwhelming the process could become.
Every evening disappeared into research: photographers one night, venues the next, contracts after that. Each vendor meeting felt like starting from scratch, and no platform really helped couples organize information, compare options intelligently, or feel prepared before important conversations.
So we built Verdeaux together.
We learned from wedding professionals, studied the planning process deeply, and created the tools we wished we’d had ourselves — tools designed to reduce stress, organize decisions, and help couples walk into every meeting informed and confident.
Verdeaux exists because planning a wedding should feel exciting, not exhausting.
In memory of her mom, we also intend to donate 10% of company profits to cancer research.
