For wedding professionals
The Knot alternative for vendors: stop paying for leads.
Advertising subscriptions, lead fees, and rankings your competitors can outspend you on — that’s the model you know. Lazo flips it: your profile is free, your leads are verified couples with dates attached, and your ranking is earned.
The math vendors are tired of
On advertising-driven directories, you pay to be visible, then compete with everyone else who paid, for inquiries that too often never answer. Your renewal price rises with your market. And the review score you spent years earning sits on a profile you rent.
How Lazo works for vendors
Free, forever, actually. Claiming your profile, receiving inquiries, SMS lead alerts, messaging, and proposals are all free. Lazo never charges for leads and never sells ranking placement — to you or anyone competing with you.
Leads worth answering. Every inquiry comes from a verified couple with their wedding date and planning details attached. You get an SMS the moment it lands — because first reply usually wins.
Close inside the thread. Send a real proposal with a real price; the couple accepts in one tap and the booking is confirmed. No PDF attachments dying in email.

Being fair about it
The Knot has traffic — genuinely a lot of it — and for some vendors the ads pencil out. Lazo isn’t asking you to cancel anything today. It’s asking a smaller question: your profile here already exists, claiming it is free, and every booking it produces costs you nothing. What’s the case for leaving it unclaimed?

Questions vendors ask
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one on leads or rankings — those are free and unbuyable by design. Lazo plans optional paid services that never touch search order.
How do reviews work?
Only verified couples can review, and they prove the work happened first. You can respond to every review, free. No one — including you — can pay to hide one.
