How this directory works — for guests of honor and venue owners alike
Is this a booking site? Do you charge fees?
No and no. We're a directory. You find a space, see its real constraints up front, and contact the venue directly by phone or email. No booking fees, no commission, no markup — the venue's price is your price.
Are the prices accurate?
Every price is labeled. Published by venue means the venue publishes or confirmed that rate. Range reported means the venue told us a typical range. Ask venue means exactly that. If a venue doesn't reconfirm within about 90 days, we remove the price rather than let it mislead you. Final prices always come from the venue.
Where do listings come from?
A venue's own public website or a direct submission from the owner. Each listing stores its source and a last-confirmed date, which you can see on the listing page. We never scrape review platforms or copy their photos and reviews. Listings marked "Sample" are demonstration placeholders, not real venues.
What does "Featured" mean?
A venue paid for placement at the top of relevant results. It's always labeled, and it never changes the facts on the listing — a featured venue's policies are checked the same way as everyone else's.
How does the shortlist work? Do you track me?
The ♥ button saves a space to a list stored only in your own browser (localStorage). There's no account, we can't see your list, and clearing your browser data clears it. Nothing about your browsing is tracked or sold.
A detail on a listing is wrong. What do I do?
Use the correction form — it takes two minutes and helps everyone after you. Corrections are free and prioritized, whether they come from the venue or a visitor.
I own a venue. What does a listing cost?
Standard listings are free, forever, including corrections. Optional paid extras exist (featured placement, profile setup help) and are described honestly on the owners page — none of them are required to be listed or to look good in search results.
Do you list public venues like rec centers?
We link to the official rental pages for city and county facilities on the Public Venues page — they're often the best value in the region. Because agencies manage their own availability and rules, we point you to the official source rather than maintain copies that could go stale.
What areas do you cover?
Philadelphia and adjacent counties, Camden/Gloucester/Burlington counties in South Jersey, and Baltimore City and County. We'd rather cover this region well than four states badly. Growing thoughtfully.
