Showcase event spaces and vendors
Build a directory of wedding venues, conference centers, party spaces, and event vendors. Help planners find the perfect location.
What is an event venues directory?
An event venues directory is a website that lists wedding venues, conference centers, party spaces and event vendors, with each one's location, capacity and contact details, so planners can compare their options in one place.
How do I start an event venues directory?
Choose what it will cover (a niche, a place or both), collect a first set of venues and vendors, and publish them on a site where people can search and compare them. On DirectoryDuck you sign up free, add venues and vendors from a CSV file or let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to approve, and publish them at directoryduck.com/your-name.
What does it cost to start an event venues directory?
You can start for $0: the Free plan includes one directory at directoryduck.com/your-name, 100 listings and 100 starter credits for AI discovery. Featured listings and your own domain start on Starter at $39/mo; Growth is $99/mo (5 directories) and Pro $249/mo (unlimited directories and listings). Paid plans are available now, billed monthly or yearly.
The challenges you face
Venue discovery is hard
Event planners spend hours researching and contacting venues.
Incomplete information
Venue websites often lack capacity, pricing, and availability details.
No comparison tools
Hard to compare multiple venues side-by-side.
Scattered vendor info
Finding caterers, photographers, and DJs requires separate searches.

- Can I put an event venues directory on a website I already have?
- Yes. One script tag puts the whole directory on your site, with search, category filters, listing pages and an inquiry form, on every plan today. Widgets show listings, reviews, a star rating, a verified badge, a review form or an inquiry form on any page, and the public REST API returns your listings and reviews as JSON. On Starter and up the hosted page can also run on your own domain.
- How do reviews work in an event venues directory?
- Visitors leave a star rating and a written review with the review form widget or the API. Each review waits until you approve it, you can post a public response, and approved reviews show on the listing's page.
- Can I mark venues and vendors as verified?
- Yes. Verify a listing with a code sent to its email address, a meta tag on its website or a DNS TXT record, or approve it by hand. Verified listings show a Verified badge in your directory and in the badge widget. A business can also claim its listing: it confirms its email address, and you approve the claim.
