With more than 123,000 weddings held in Australia each year and several wedding vendors to choose from, it’s easy to see why planning a wedding can be hard work.

The sheer amount of researching, calling, and haggling is enough to stress out even the toughest brides and grooms. But there is actually an alternative way to cut the pressures of wedding planning in half.

On a recent Weddings, Parties, Celebrations show on 2GB, radio presenters Kate White and Kayley Harris chatted with ServiceSeeking.com.au CEO Jeremy Levitt about the benefits of using the website when preparing for your wedding.

ServiceSeeking.com.au serves as a one-stop shop for brides and grooms who are looking to find wedding vendors in a fast and convenient way. It’s a huge step up from the old-fashioned way of finding businesses because you don’t have to ring up dozens of vendors just to get an appointment. Jeremy says that, “With one click of the mouse, you can pretty much get absolutely every service that you need. And it all comes to you.”

All you have to do is fill out a form with the details of your wedding and let the celebrants, photographers, or florists contact you. The best thing is that only those who are interested in your job and available on your day contact you, and they even send you a price.

Jeremy also addresses the hosts’ qualms about hiring someone online without meeting them in person by comparing ServiceSeeking.com.au to a dating site.

“In much the same way that if you found a date online, you don’t get married before going out for a drink or going out to dinner; it’s exactly the same thing. So the businesses will contact you and then you arrange a face-to-face meeting.”

It’s also interesting to note that it’s rarely the cheapest or most expensive quote that wins. Customers look at other aspects like the number of reviews and the business’s portfolio when comparing quotes.

The show also featured Panache Bridal Shoes, a shop that specialises in designing and producing beautiful shoes for the bride and her entourage, and Airstream Adventures, a company that provides luxury ‘glamping’ services using top-of-the-line Airstream caravans.
