While planning my own wedding this year, I ended up going deep on venue pricing research and it kind of snowballed into a bigger database once friends and family started sharing their info too.

The database covers about 400 venues, mostly in the ny/nyc area (where I live), with pricing info ranging from around 2025 to 2027. If anyone's interested in the link, just comment or shoot me a DM and I'll share it with you (unsure if I can share it in the post).

My only ask: if its helpful to you, please add your own venue pricing to the database - it'll help someone else!

While planning my own wedding this year, I ended up going deep on venue pricing research and it kind of snowballed into a bigger database once friends and family started sharing their info too.

The database covers about 400 venues, mostly on the east coast (where I live), with pricing info ranging from around 2025 to 2027. If anyone's interested in the link, just comment or shoot me a DM and I'll share it with you (unsure if I can share it in the post).

Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but I’ve been putting together a running database of NJ (and other states) wedding venues over the past year or so and turned it into a simple website.

It started as something I was using for myself/friends who were planning weddings and going down the same rabbit holes I was. It’s very much a side project - just venues I came across on Reddit, tiktok, etc. and whatever info I could find along the way all in one place.

If anyone has feedback, corrections, or venues I missed, I’d genuinely love to hear it, and hope it helps! I'll put the link in comments.

Hey everyone - over the past two years, you all have been super generous about sharing your venue quotes here, and I figured that info shouldn't just get buried in old threads. So I pulled it all together and built a searchable database out of it.

It's all crowd sourced from this community, so a huge thank you to everyone who's shared their quotes over the years. Hopefully this makes the research process a little easier for couples just starting out.

Link to the database is in the comments!

And if you've recently gotten a quote and want to pay it forward, feel free to add it - but no pressure! Hope this is helpful.

Mods hope this is allowed - I recently got married and still traumatized by venue shopping - I see there is a still a real need for venue pricing transparency. I got to tinkering and built thefirstlook.us - it's a free, crowd sourced database of real venue quotes so you can see actual pricing before committing to a tour. If I had access to them, I uploaded recent PDF quotes straight from the venue.

NYC listings are still thin since it's new, so if you have a venue quote sitting in your inbox, submitting takes 2 minutes and helps the next couple out.

Would love to know what you think/any tweaks you'd suggest.
