The 95/5 Economic Model: Disrupting Wedding Marketplace Fees
Why wedding pros should keep more of what they earn.

Big platforms take 20–30%. Weddings.io operates on a 95/5 performance model so wedding pros keep more and reinvest in craft.
Most marketplaces tax the vendor at the exact moment a booking becomes valuable. That model punishes the businesses doing the work and rewards platforms for sitting between buyer and seller.
Weddings.io is built around a vendor-first model. The goal is to help professionals keep more of the booking value while still giving couples verified discovery and better tools.
A healthier vendor economy produces better events. When professionals keep more margin, they can invest in equipment, staff, insurance, training, and client experience.
