Texas Weddings

What Texas Weddings does

Texas Weddings is a regional wedding planning marketplace operating in the San Antonio and Austin, Texas markets, connecting engaged couples with local wedding professionals through a two-sided platform. The company runs texasweddings.com, a city-specific website organized into 20-plus vendor categories including venues, photographers, caterers, DJs, florists, officiants, bridal boutiques, and wedding planners. The site is supported by a suite of free planning tools (Budget Calculator, Planning Checklists, Guest List tracker, Timetable) and rich content libraries such as an Inspiration Gallery containing thousands of curated images and a Real Weddings showcase with submissions dating back to 2016. The platform also operates a cross-platform mobile app distributed via Apple's App Store and Google Play, extending the user experience beyond the browser.

The technology stack is conventional web and mobile development rather than technically novel, with the proprietary ProScan QR code scanning feature on the mobile app serving as the key differentiated capability. ProScan allows couples to capture exhibitor contact information instantly during bridal shows and route it to a 'My Saves' dashboard within the app. Other notable proprietary features include the Vendor Manager (configurable vendor and event tracking) and the Budget Calculator, which uses real-time spend tracking with on/over-budget visual indicators. The company hosts two signature in-person events: Bridal Extravaganza, billed as Central Texas's largest bridal showcase at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, and We Do Weddings Expo, supported by Bridal Bucks and Cash for Contracts savings programs designed to drive event attendance and vendor conversion. Augmented planning resources include FYI Guides, a Venue Amenities comparison tool, and a Find My Venue interactive Google Maps locator.

The business model monetizes the vendor side of the marketplace rather than the consumer side. Engaged couples access the platform, planning tools, and content free of charge under a freemium registration model. Wedding vendors — primarily SMB operators such as venues, photographers, caterers, florists, DJs, and bridal retailers — pay for advertising placements, featured listings, Special Offers promotion, and booth space at expos, while the company also collects ticket revenue from bridal show attendance. Additional revenue accrues from lead generation referrals routed from inquiries, vendor contact forms, and event attendance to vendor profiles. The platform operates with a horizontal segmentation approach spanning the full wedding planning lifecycle, with primary customer segments being Engaged Couples (free users) and Wedding Vendors (paying SMB advertisers), supported by a secondary segment of Bridal Show Attendees. Texas Weddings is a private, USA-domiciled company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with sub-brands including Texas Wedding Guide (DBA), Bridal Extravaganza, and We Do Weddings Expo.
