The real cost of every venue, on one page.
A venue's price is never one number. It's the rental fee, the ceremony fee, the food-and-beverage minimum for your date, a service charge that isn't a gratuity, the rentals they don't include, and the curfew that ends your night early. We collect it all and put every venue side by side — so the comparison is real.
Casa Verde — proposal
Received · reading“Thank you for thinking of Casa Verde. The estate rents for $12,000 on September Saturdays, with open catering and no food-and-beverage minimum. A 20% service charge applies to staffing and bar service, and amplified music plays until 10 pm outdoors…”

| Venue rental | $12,000 |

Venue search shouldn’t require fifty PDFs and a forensic accounting degree.
Prices are hidden on purpose.
Most venues won't publish pricing. You fill out a form, wait days for a reply, and often tour before you learn the real number.
No two proposals match.
One venue quotes the rental only. Another buries a 22% service charge. A third has a food-and-beverage minimum that changes with your date. Comparing them honestly is a spreadsheet project nobody warned you about.
The follow-up is a part-time job.
Slow replies, missing details, and a growing inbox you're reconciling by hand at midnight — while the good dates disappear.
The old way
Twelve inquiry forms. Three-day waits. Phone tag. A folder of PDFs that refuse to line up.

Awaiting your approvalAvailability & pricing — September 2027 wedding, 120 guests
Avery & Sam · via Artyplanner → The Meridian, Events
Hello Meridian events team,
My partner and I are planning our wedding for roughly 120 guests, and the Meridian’s garden terrace caught our attention — it’s exactly the setting we’ve been picturing.
A few details about us:
- Dates: Saturday, September 12 or 19, 2027 — flexible on a Friday for the right space
- Guests: about 120, ceremony and reception on-site
- Evening: dinner and dancing, wrapping around 11 pm
Could you share:
- Availability for those dates
- Current pricing and the food-and-beverage minimum for each date
- The service charge percentage, and what it covers
- What’s included — tables, chairs, linens, parking
Thank you so much — we’d love to come see the terrace in person.

Every message renders exactly as the venue will read it — and waits for you.
Artyplanner is the planner — software built for exactly this work. It researches, drafts, follows up, and compares. Our team reviews the high-stakes moments, and nothing reaches a venue without your approval.
What “the full picture” looks like.

Your comparison is built from real proposals.
Your planner works for you. You stay in control.
Every recommendation shows its reasoning and sources.
Every outbound message is drafted for your review. Nothing sends without your approval.
No booking, signature, or payment ever happens without your explicit say-so.
Venues cannot pay to be recommended. Ever.
Contract help is decision support — plain-language summaries and the questions to ask — not legal advice.
Full-service planners in major markets often start around $5,000. Free planning sites organize your checklist — and sell your inquiry to vendors. We’re building the middle that’s been missing: a service that does the venue work with you, and answers only to you.
Founding couples help set the price. The application asks what this would be worth to you, and early members receive founding terms.
Questions, answered plainly.
Is this an AI product?
Yes — Artyplanner is an AI planner. The software researches venues, drafts messages, follows up, and turns messy proposals into clean comparisons. Our team reviews high-stakes moments like contract questions, and you approve anything before it reaches a venue. You'll always know what was done and why.
Do venues pay you to be recommended?
No. Recommendations are never sponsored, and venues can't buy a place on your shortlist.
What does it cost?
The consultation is free. Founding couples receive founding terms — and pricing is something we walk through together in that conversation, not a rate card you have to decode.
I've already started my search. Is it too late?
No — we meet you wherever you are, whether that's “no idea” or “eleven PDFs deep.”
Do you cover my city?
The venue catalog is national. Hands-on support rolls out city by city, guided by where consultations are requested.
How fast will you reach out?
Within a day or two of your request — strongest-demand cities first.
Help shape the wedding planner you wish existed.
Tell us about your wedding in under a minute, and we’ll reach out to schedule a short consultation — where you are, what you need, and founding terms if we’re the right fit.
