Why is my wedding business website not getting enquiries?
Usually because couples can’t see a rough price or check your availability for their date, so they move on to a supplier who shows both. Add a price guide, an enquiry form that asks for the date and venue, and a quick, clear reply to every enquiry.

Why it happens to wedding businesses.
- Couples contact several suppliers
- They send the same enquiry to a handful of photographers, venues or florists and often book whoever replies first with a clear answer.
- No price means no enquiry
- Couples work to a budget. If there’s no price guide, many assume you’re out of range and don’t ask.
- Dates drive everything
- Weddings are booked a long way ahead, often a year or more. The first question is “are you available on our date?”, and the site rarely answers it.
- They find you elsewhere first
- Instagram, wedding directories and venue supplier lists send couples to your site. It needs to take them straight to your work, prices and enquiry form.
What to do, in order.
Publish a price guide
Packages or “from” prices, and what’s included. It can be a page, or a guide you send straight after an enquiry.
Ask for the date first
Date, venue and guest numbers at the top of your form, so you can reply about availability straight away.
Reply fast, and clearly
Have a reply ready with your availability, price guide and next step, and send it the same day.
Show full weddings
Real weddings from start to finish, with the venue named, rather than a mixed gallery.

Something else? Ask Sammy on WhatsApp.
Should wedding suppliers show prices on their website?
A “from” price or a price guide helps couples know whether to get in touch. You can still tailor quotes after the first conversation.
How quickly should I reply to wedding enquiries?
The same day if you can. Couples often send several enquiries at once, and a clear, early reply with availability and prices gives them what they need to decide.
