Most wedding directories reward whoever pays the most or whoever has been listed the longest. That leaves a talented new business stuck at the bottom of a list it cannot climb. Invyt's vendor directory works the other way round. Your place comes from two things a host actually cares about: whether we have verified that your business is real, and whether real hosts and couples are planning their events with you right now.

The Short Answer
Joining is free. List your business, show where you work and the kinds of events you work, and link to your own website, Instagram and video.
You rise by doing real work. Verified businesses are shown first. Within that, vendors rise with every host who trusts them and every couple who chooses them, and among equals the newest listing comes first, so a new business is seen from day one.
Your tools come with it. A Verified badge and certificate, your own Invyt link for your clients, and a workspace for quotes and payments with terms written for your trade.
Why Invyt Is a Different Kind of Directory
Invyt is where hosts make their invitations, collect RSVPs and build their wedding websites. The people browsing our directory are not idly scrolling. They have a date, a venue and a guest list taking shape, and they are deciding who to trust with the day.
It also means we can see something most directories cannot: which vendors real hosts are actually planning with. That is what decides who comes first. There are no ads in the directory and no star ratings that anyone can type in. Every figure on a listing stands for a real event.
It respects the people at the event too. Guests never see vendor ads, and a host's guest list and RSVP details are never shared with vendors.
How New Wedding Vendors Rise on Invyt
A business that joined last month can stand beside one that has been around for years. Here is how.
1. Get Verified
Our team checks that your business is real and that the people managing your listing run it. Verified vendors are shown first: in the directory, on its city and category pages, and, as vendor suggestions reach each city, in the local vendors we suggest to hosts. It needs no history, only a real business. Managing your listing from an email address at your website's domain is the quickest way through.
Verified businesses receive a Verified badge for their website and a verification certificate made for Instagram, so the clients you already have can see it too.
2. Give your clients your Invyt link
Every live listing comes with its own Invyt link. Share it with the couples and hosts you already work with so they can create their invitation, collect RSVPs or build their wedding website in minutes. It is a thoughtful extra for your clients, and it shows you look after them beyond the brief.
When a client creates their event through your link and goes ahead with it, they join the Trusted by figure on your listing. Each host counts once, however many events they make, and your own events never count.
3. Be chosen by couples
When a couple adds you to their Invyt wedding website, your listing shows Chosen by and carries the Endorsed mark. It is public proof that real couples picked you for their day, written by them, not by you.
4. Rise with every real client
Among vendors of the same standing, the ones more hosts trust come first, then the ones more couples chose. Your place moves only when real clients plan real events with you, which is exactly what a host wants to know before they enquire. When two vendors stand level, the newer listing comes first, so a business that has just joined is not buried under names that have done no more than it has.
Why Only Events That Go Ahead Count
A host counts toward your Trusted by figure once they take a paid Invyt feature for that event, such as unlocking more RSVPs. Your link remembers a client for 30 days after they open it, so they do not have to create their event straight away.
Counting only events that go ahead is deliberate. A free test event costs nothing to create, so counting free events would let anyone pad their number in an afternoon. Because every host on the figure has committed to a real event, the figure means something, for the hosts reading it and for you.
What You Get From Day One
A listing that speaks for your business
Your listing carries your description, your category, where you are based, the other places you serve or whether you work remotely, and the kinds of events you work, from weddings to birthdays, dinners and work events. Add your website, your Instagram and a featured video, and hosts can reach you directly by phone, email or your website. Invyt takes no commission on the work you win.
A real link back to your website
Once you manage your listing, it is a public page search engines can index, and the link to your website on it is a normal followed link. No directory can promise a search ranking, but this is a genuine link from a real page about your business. You can link back the other way too: download your listing badge for your website, and your Invyt account tells you once we find the link there.
A workspace built for your trade
Being found is only the start. Once your listing is live, My Vendor Workspace opens VytDeal, the quoting workspace that comes with your listing, already signed in from your Invyt account. Send quotes with terms written for your trade, from photographers and celebrants to caterers and venues, and keep track of what each client has paid. It is free to start, with a set number of deals included.
Shown to hosts planning near you
We are bringing vendor suggestions to the host dashboard city by city, starting with weddings in Australia. Once your city has enough vendors, a host who creates an event there is shown local vendors who work that kind of event, Verified first, then by the hosts who trust them. Your base location decides which city you appear in, so keep it accurate.
Who Should Join Invyt
The directory is built for the twelve trades that make an event: photographers, videographers, wedding planners, celebrants, venues, caterers, cakes and desserts, florists, hair and makeup artists, DJs and musicians, hire and styling, and stationery designers. Many of these businesses also work birthdays, parties, dinners and corporate events, and your listing can show every kind of event you work.
For a new business, Invyt is a fair start: Verified puts you at the top from the day it is granted, and every real client moves you up from there. For an established business, it is a public record of the hosts who trust you, and a workspace for the quotes and payments that follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it free to list my wedding business on Invyt?
Yes. Listing your business is free, with no listing fee and no commission on the work you win.
How does Invyt decide the order of vendors?
By default, Verified businesses come first, then businesses that manage their own listing, then listings built from public details. Within each group, vendors trusted by more hosts come first, then those chosen by more couples, then the newest. Hosts can also sort by Most trusted, Most chosen or Newest.
Why has my Trusted by number not moved after a client used my link?
A host counts once their event goes ahead on Invyt with a paid feature, and your link remembers them for 30 days. A free test event costs nothing to make, so counting those would let anyone inflate their number. Counting only events that go ahead keeps the figure honest for every vendor, including you.
Is the Invyt link a referral scheme?
No. There are no commissions and nothing to sell. The link is a way to give your clients a beautiful invitation and to show, on your listing, that real hosts trust you with their events.
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. Invyt does not sell places in the directory. Your place comes from being Verified and from the real hosts and couples who plan with you.
Does Invyt verify every vendor?
Every business that lists itself confirms its email and is reviewed before going live. Listings our team built from public details say so until the business claims them. The Verified badge goes further: our team has checked that the business is real and that the people managing the listing run it. It is a check of the business, not a guarantee of its work, so hosts should still look at portfolios, contracts and availability before booking.
Will I see a host's guest list or contact details?
No. You see the totals on your listing and the hosts who contact you directly. A host's guest list and RSVP details are never shared with vendors.
Does my listing link back to my website?
Yes. Once you manage your listing, it is a public page search engines can index, and its link to your website is a normal followed link. Invyt cannot promise a search ranking, but the link is real.
Built for the Businesses That Make the Day
Every wedding is made by the people behind it: the photographer, the celebrant, the caterer, the florist who understood the brief. Invyt is built so the businesses doing that work are the ones hosts see first. List your business, get Verified, look after your clients, and let your listing show it.
