How Provow works
- Post what you need. Share your event details, location, and the services you're looking for.
- Get matched by location. Discover local wedding and event pros through the map and receive proposals from the right fit.
- Manage everything in one place. Keep replies, proposals, and AI Concierge support organized inside Provow.
What we refuse
- We don't sell leads.
- We don't rank by who pays.
- We don't take a commission.
- We don't hide people from each other.
The two moments we built Provow around
- The Pro — "It's a Pro." The moment a post receives its first proposal. Someone real, nearby, raised their hand for your event.
- The Vow — "It's a Vow." The moment a host marks a professional as booked. Plans became a commitment.
Bookings on Provow are reported by hosts themselves — we're not part of the contract or the payment, and we don't verify or endorse any professional. The celebration is ours; the diligence and the decision are always yours.

Frequently asked questions
What is Provow?
Provow is a free, map-based reverse marketplace for the U.S. wedding and event industry. Instead of searching vendor directories and reaching out one by one, you post your event as a pin on the map, and local professionals come to you with proposals. AI Concierge can organize outreach to relevant local pros on your behalf. No commissions, no middleman — you compare and choose.
Is Provow only for weddings?
No. Provow is best known for weddings and parties, and it works just as well for fundraisers, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other celebrations — and for business events such as conferences, expos, trade shows, and retreats. You post the event, and the right vendors send proposals.
What types of professionals can I find on Provow?
Provow covers venues, planners, photographers, videographers, photo booths, DJs, live music, emcees, makeup artists, hair stylists, caterers, bartenders, bakers, florists, decorators, balloon artists, lighting designers, officiants, rentals, audio/visual providers, transportation, and specialty services. You choose which services you need when you create your post, and professionals in those categories see your request. If you need several services, one post covers all of them — there's no need to create a separate post per vendor type.
Is it free to post an event on Provow?
Yes — posting an event on Provow is free for hosts, and it stays free. There's no posting fee, no subscription, and no charge to receive proposals, message professionals, or compare them side by side. You only ever pay the professionals you choose to hire, on the terms you agree with them directly — Provow doesn't take a commission or a cut of your bookings. Creating a post takes about two minutes: your event type, date, location, and the services you're looking for.
How do proposals work?
After your event is posted, local professionals who match your requested services can respond with proposals. Each proposal includes the professional's business name, a personal message, and their pricing — shown as a flat rate, a range, or a starting-at price — so you can compare offers side by side in one place. Reviewing a proposal doesn't commit you to anything. When one looks promising, reply in the in-platform inbox to ask questions or discuss details.
How does posting an event work?
Hosts share event details — date, location, guest count, and the services they need — on the map. Local professionals in range see the request and send proposals with pricing and availability.
How do I choose a professional on Provow?
Hosts compare proposals side by side, view professional profiles, message directly, and choose the professional that best fits their needs and budget. Booking and payment are arranged directly between you and the professional.
Is it free to join Provow as a professional?
Yes — during our launch phase, Provow is free for professionals: creating a profile, browsing requests, and sending proposals all cost nothing. There are no per-lead invoices and no commission — if a host books you, you keep 100% of what you charge, and payment happens directly between you and the host on whatever terms you agree.
How do I find event requests near me?
Every event request on Provow is pinned to a live map by its location, so you can see what's happening in your service area at a glance — no account needed just to browse. Open the map or list view and filter by service category, city, and event type to narrow it to requests that fit what you do. Each pin shows the event type, date, guest count, and the services the host needs, with the host's exact address kept private until you're in contact. When a request is worth pursuing, create a free profile and send a proposal directly to the host.
What does Provow AI Concierge do?
Provow AI Concierge is an optional assistant that helps hosts take the first step of vendor outreach after posting an event. Once your event is live, it looks for relevant local professionals based on the services you requested and your event's location, organizes them for you to review, and can draft a personalized message to each. Nothing is sent automatically — you review every suggested professional and approve or edit every draft before any message goes out. It's there to save you the cold-start work of finding people and writing that first note; you stay in control of who you actually contact.
Does AI Concierge send emails automatically?
No. Every outreach draft is shown to you first, and nothing is sent until you explicitly approve it. You can edit the wording, change the tone, skip a suggested professional entirely, or stop at any point — the concierge never acts on your behalf without your approval.
How does Provow protect private addresses?
If your event is at a private address, Provow never displays it — your event appears on the map as a city and an approximate nearby area, not an exact pin, so professionals can tell whether you're in their service area without knowing where you live. If you've booked a public venue, you can show the venue name so professionals know exactly where they'd be working. Either way, your personal contact details stay private, and you decide what to share and when, in direct messages with professionals you choose.
How much does it cost to use Provow?
Provow is free for hosts — posting your event, receiving proposals, comparing them, and messaging professionals all cost nothing. For professionals, creating a profile, browsing event posts, and sending proposals are also free during the launch phase. Provow charges no commissions and takes no cut of what you and a professional agree to; booking and payment are arranged directly between you. As the platform grows, paid options for professionals are planned — hosts will stay free.
How is Provow different from The Knot or WeddingWire?
They work in opposite directions. On a directory, professionals maintain listings and couples browse and reach out to them one by one. Provow reverses it: you post your event once — date, location, budget, what you need — and it appears as a pin on the map, where local professionals find you and send proposals directly. Instead of contacting vendors and waiting to hear back, you compare the proposals that come to you. Provow charges no commissions, communication stays on the platform, and Provow does not endorse, guarantee, or verify any professional — you review each proposal and decide who fits. Many people use directories and Provow together; they answer different questions.
