So just what is Elegala.com anyway?

I've received quite a few inquiries recently from brides and vendors who want to know more about Elegala.com, its mission, and its place in the world of wedding planning. So here you go!

Elegala.com offers similar wedding planning tools and advice to biggies like The Knot and Wedding Channel, although on a smaller scale (I like to call it a "boutique" wedding website). What sets it apart, however, is the uncluttered design, lack of banner ads and pop ups, straightforward step-by-step planning approach, and focus on the reception site as the key element in the planning process.

To my knowledge, Elegala.com is the only resource to offer venue-specific planning tools such as vendor lists, catering menus, wedding packages, and ballroom floor plans to help brides plan events at their reception site. (you can browse the directory of wedding venues and services here.

Brides can rest assured the venues on Elegala.com have been chosen through a rigorous selection process - involving much more than simply forking over money to be listed on the site. Each vendor is then hand-selected by one of these premier venues. This referral-only process connects brides to only their area's best venues and vendors, saving them the headache of sifting through an oversaturated directory of hundreds of vendors of unknown quality found on other wedding websites.

So there you have it - feel free to contact me with any additional questions about Elegala.com.
