How is WPM different from other wedding directories?

I built WPM because I was frustrated with every other wedding directory I encountered in this market. What makes it different comes down to three things, and I will be blunt about why the existing options were not good enough.

First, nobody pays to be here. Vendors cannot edit their own listings on WPM, they cannot pay to appear and they cannot pay to move up. In most wedding directories, vendors pay for placement, so the planner who spends the most on advertising appears first, regardless of quality. On WPM, venues carry an editorial rating, and the planner directory is ordered by the upvotes shown on each profile. A vote can only be cast from a signed-in Google account, one vote per account per planner, and no payment or commercial relationship of any kind affects the order.

Second, planner profiles without scores. Each planner has a written profile built from public material: the weddings they show, the places they work, the way they describe their service. We do not score planners and we do not publish their fees. Fee models vary a lot in Marrakech, from flat fees to a percentage of the budget to commissions taken from vendors, so ask every planner you shortlist for a written breakdown before you sign anything.

Third, free tools built from public sources. The budget simulator and the season picker draw on publicly listed venue and vendor pricing, sample quotes shared by couples, and aggregated industry reports. The figures are estimates built from that data, not invoices we have audited.

Here is the important caveat. WPM is not a wedding planner. We do not plan weddings and we do not earn commissions from the planners or vendors we list. Our job is to give you what you need to choose well, and then you work directly with the people you choose.
