“A stunning online presence is the difference between a quick inquiry and a fully-booked calendar. All the marketing that you’re spending time and money on (including Wedding Venue Map) drives potential clients to YOUR WEBSITE! What happens when they get there, don’t find the info they were looking for, and then leave? It’s like money walking right out your door. That’s why we’ve partnered with Celebrate Creative, the premier web development team for wedding venues!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Website Design & Development
What is included with my new website?

- A bespoke WordPress website with all of the necessary pages: Home, Services or Venue Information, Portfolio, About, Contact, Press, and Link in Bio.
- Up to 12 portfolio galleries, which can be individual events (example), galleries of images from ceremonies, receptions, cocktail hours, and features of your venue (example), or a combination of the above (example)!
- Blog/Journal home and blog post design, including vendor crediting.
- Optimized for search engines and data collection out of the box, including SEO setup and analytics connection.
- SPECIAL BONUS FOR WVM MEMBERS – A custom landing page for your directory listings (like The Knot, WeddingWire and WVM)
What makes your custom websites different from template-based designs?
Our custom websites are uniquely designed to reflect your distinct style and brand identity, ensuring a personalized online presence that stands out from generic, template-based designs.
Why Choose WordPress over ShowIt, Squarespace, or other platforms?
WordPress, and its new full site editing functionality, strikes the perfect balance between creative freedom and SEO performance.
- Total Design Freedom: With WordPress, there are no design or development limitations. Unlike Squarespace or ShowIt, where you’re locked into their functionality, WordPress allows for fully custom designs tailored to your brand. Our custom vendor crediting, portfolios, and more are only possible on WordPress.
- Scalability and Flexibility: WordPress is ideal for venues and vendors of any size. As your business grows, your website can evolve without platform constraints. You can add advanced features, booking systems, or directories with ease.
- Powerful SEO Capabilities: WordPress offers superior SEO tools and flexibility. With the right setup (we include RankMath SEO setup with all of our custom themes), you can optimize every detail, making it easier for couples to find you on search engines.
- Ownership and Control: With WordPress, you own your site and its content. You’re not locked into a proprietary platform, giving you full control over hosting, backups, and future updates.
- Endless Integrations: WordPress integrates with thousands of plugins, making it easy to add any functionality your heart desires — something that platforms like ShowIt and Squarespace can’t match.
- Content Management Made Easy: With WordPress’s visual editor, you can easily update text, images, and galleries yourself without needing technical skills.
- No Platform Lock-In: Unlike ShowIt or Squarespace, where you’re limited to their hosting, WordPress lets you choose the best hosting solution for speed, security, and support.
What features do you offer specifically for wedding venues and vendors?
We provide custom features tailored specifically for wedding vendors and venues including:
- Stunning Portfolio Galleries: Elegant displays to highlight your past events or property details.
- Built-in SEO: Optimization to enhance your online visibility and attract more clients.
- Vendor Crediting: Seamless integration to showcase collaborations with vendors. This can even be extended to create a preferred vendor list! See an example.
How long does the custom website process take?
The timeline varies based on project complexity, but we typically deliver a fully functional custom website within 6-8 weeks.
Can I update the website content myself after it’s built?
Absolutely! Our websites are built on WordPress, featuring an intuitive visual editor that allows you to easily update and manage your content without technical expertise.
Do you provide support after the website is launched?
Yes, we offer ongoing support and maintenance packages to keep your website updated, secure, and performing optimally.
Can you integrate with Dubsado, Honeybook, Flodesk, Rock Paper Coin, etc?
Yes! If you have a form you’d like to embed from either a CRM or email marketing provider, we can absolutely add that into your site. The only note we have is that sometimes these platforms don’t offer the ability to use custom fonts, and therefore, we may have to pick a font from their library that is as close as possible to the look and feel of your website.
What’s the payment schedule?
As projects are usually completed within 2 months, we ask for a 50% deposit, and the remainder is due when your website is ready to go live. For more complex projects (for example: if you have multiple venues needing websites, are a franchise, or have other fun development needs outside the norm), the project may go longer and therefore we would work with you to create a custom payment schedule.
How much does it cost?
Our custom websites begin at $6,000, encompassing design, development, and support. This does not include logo creation. We can either utilize your existing branding, or if you would like sparkly new branding to go along with your sparkling new website, we offer this service as well. Pricing varies based upon your design needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Website Support & Hosting
What happens after I purchase WordPress website maintenance services?
We will send you an email to gather all the required login information to migrate your site. Once we have that information, we’ll schedule your site to migrate to our host based on your timeline. During the migration, your site will remain up and visible by customers, but you won’t be able to add any new content. Migrations are free and are typically completed in under an hour.
Can you host my ShowIt/SquareSpace/Wix/Other site?
Unfortunately, non-WordPress platforms don’t offer this flexibility. However, we can easily migrate you from ShowIt, SquareSpace, Wix, or your current website provider to WordPress, which powers over 850 million websites (that’s almost half of the entire internet!) and offers unparalleled technical and SEO flexibility. Contact us to get started with your new WordPress website!
What about my email?
We highly recommend utilizing the excellent Google Workspace solutions for your email and would be happy to set this up with you! Our hosting services do include monitored SMTP email delivery from your website. Should you have the need to host email with your domain, we have this ability, but it’s a small extra monthly fee.
How do I access my site?
Your WordPress login will remain the same. You’ll have full access to maintain your site, including the ability to download any files you need. You’re never “stuck” with us. We’ve seen “black box” hosts before and we know the panic that sets in when you can’t access your data. We will provide WordPress administration, sFTP, Cloudflare, and database access to you or your team. If you want to move off our platform or need to access your website, rest assured that you’ll have the tools you need, anytime.
Are migrations really free?
Yes! If you’re moving an existing WordPress site and a host where you have access to your hosting and domain logins, migrations are completely free!
How long does it take to move my site?
We can typically begin the move within hours of receiving the onboarding information. We will connect with you to schedule the move. The length of time for the actual migration is usually 1-2 hours, but can be as much as overnight. We will communicate with you the whole time!
I’d love a new website while we’re at it!
Absolutely! We’d love to work with you! Let’s schedule for a no-strings-attached intro meeting to chat further!

Kristin Byers, Kristin Ashley Events
“Working with Ami and Jason on a full website redesign for my wedding planning business, Kristin Ashley Events, was an amazing experience. They took the time to go through hundreds of photos, carefully selecting only those that truly represented my brand and resonated with my ideal clients. The entire process was seamless, prompt, and guided with thoughtful insights. Ami’s sharp eye for visuals and editorial detail meant that I had very few edits, and Jason’s expertise in layout, SEO, and backend development gave me complete confidence in the technical aspects of my site. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome or the service from Celebrate Creative — I highly recommend them!”
Shafonne Myers, Aisle Society
“What can I say about working with Celebrate Creative!! THEY ARE AMAZING! I’ve worked with Ami and Jason to build nine websites for my media and publishing company. Ami’s expertise in the wedding industry is invaluable – her genius mind helped me to revolutionize Aisle Society, and we have worked hand in hand to create multiple publications giving our clients more exposure and visibility. I couldn’t have created anything I have without them. Thanks a million times over!”
Annabel Beeforth, Love My Dress
“Working with Celebrate Creative has been, without question, the absolute best decision I’ve ever made for my business. From the moment we began working together, they completely changed my outlook on website development and the potential for my platform. The entire process has been nothing short of life-changing thanks to their tireless work, strategic vision, and deep care for my brand. Ami and Jason are a dream team: their communication is seamless, their dedication unwavering, and their productivity is insane. Every step of the way, they have made me feel understood and supported, with a focused and refined approach that leaves no detail overlooked. I would recommend them in an instant.”
