Send an inquiry
An inquiry is the first message you send to a vendor. It includes your event date, a guest count, and a short note. The vendor uses it to write you a real quote.

Common questions
Can I send the same inquiry to several vendors at once?
Yes. From your saved list, select up to five vendors and press Send inquiries. Each thread is private - vendors can't see who else you've contacted.
Do I have to pay anything to send an inquiry?
No. Inquiries are free. You only pay when you accept a quote and put down the deposit.
