A whole team. Or one missing piece.

Already have your venue? Only need music? Request the services that are still open. One event post can bring several needs together.

Your event. In a few useful details.

A date, a place and the services still on your list give professionals a clear starting point. Add the atmosphere, traditions or must-haves that make the event yours.

One rented table. Or a whole celebration.

Good questions. A choice that feels right.

Compare the responses to your event. Look beyond the headline price, then use your Inbox to discuss the details.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to post an event on Provow?

Posting, receiving proposals and messaging are free for Hosts. Provow does not charge a booking commission. Contracts, payments and any provider charges are agreed directly with the professionals you choose. Start with your event details and the services you still need; you can draft as a guest and create an account before publishing.

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.

What should I include in my event post?

The essentials are your event type, date, location, expected guest count, and the services you're looking for. From there, a sentence or two of detail goes a long way: the style or feel you're going for, anything you've already booked, and any must-haves all help professionals send proposals that actually fit your event. You don't need a budget figure to post, though sharing a range can lead to more realistic pricing from the start.

How quickly will I hear from professionals?

It varies — there's no set timeline and no guaranteed response. What matters most is your location, the services you need, and how far out your event is. Provow serves the United States today, and how many professionals are already active differs by area. The optional AI Concierge can prepare a first round for your review and approval after you post.

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.

Can I communicate with professionals inside Provow?

Yes — conversations happen in Provow's built-in inbox, so questions, details, and proposals stay in one organized place instead of scattered across email threads and DMs. You can message professionals directly from their proposals and keep separate conversations going with several pros while you compare. Because messaging stays on the platform, you don't have to share your personal phone number or email while you're still deciding.

How do I choose between proposals?

Compare the basics side by side first: pricing, what's included, and how specifically each professional responded to your event. Then go deeper on the ones that stand out — ask questions in the inbox, look at their profile and portfolio, and do the same diligence you'd do for any business you hire, since Provow doesn't endorse or verify professionals. There's no penalty for asking several pros the same question. The right fit is usually whoever combines fair pricing with answers that show they understood your event.

Do I need to decide right away?

You are not required to accept a proposal. Take time to compare the responses and ask questions. Professionals may have their own availability, quote-validity and booking deadlines, so confirm those directly. Your post closes after its event date, or earlier if you close it.

Does Provow charge anything when I book a professional?

Provow does not add a booking fee or take a commission. Agree the scope, total charges, contract and payment terms directly with the professional you choose. Ask what is included and what may cost extra. You can continue using your Provow Inbox to discuss the details.

What if I've already booked some of my vendors?

That's common — just post for the services you still need. If your venue is booked, you can mark that on your post and display the venue name, which helps the remaining professionals understand the setting they'd be working in. One post covers everything that's left, whether that's one service or five.

Can I post more than one event?

Yes — each event gets its own post and its own pin on the map, with its own services, proposals, and conversations. If you're planning several celebrations — say, an engagement party and the wedding itself — keeping them as separate posts keeps the proposals organized. There's no fee for additional posts.

What happens to my post after the event date?

Posts close automatically once your event date has passed, so you won't keep receiving proposals for an event that's already happened. You can also close a post manually at any time from your dashboard — for example, once you've booked your team. Closed posts come off the public map and list, but you keep access to your post and its conversations from your account.

What if my post gets no proposals in the first week?

Replies depend on the event, location and professionals available. The Concierge Promise describes outreach support for eligible posts; it commits to action, not a guaranteed reply or booking. Check its current coverage and terms. Optional AI Concierge is a separate feature: where available, you review and approve the outreach drafts you choose to send.

Is Provow available in my city?

Provow currently serves the United States, so if your city is in the US, yes. Professional activity varies by location. Optional AI outreach is subject to availability and eligibility, and AI drafts require your review and approval. Posting is free, so it costs nothing to put your event on the map.

How does AI Concierge help Hosts?

AI Concierge is an optional assistant that can take the first step of outreach off your plate. After you post, it looks for relevant local professionals based on your requested services and event location, organizes them for you to review, and prepares a draft message to each one you select. Nothing is ever sent automatically — you approve or edit every draft before it goes out, and you can ignore the concierge entirely and simply wait for proposals instead.

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. Currently free for professionals: creating a profile, browsing event posts, and sending proposals cost nothing. Provow charges no commissions and takes no cut of what you and a professional agree to; booking and payment are arranged directly between you.

Who is Provow best for?

Provow works best if you're early enough that you're still deciding, and you'd rather compare a few real answers than send the same message twelve times. Post your event once — date, city, guest count, what you still need — and professionals who serve your area send you proposals. You read them, ask questions, and choose. It works for weddings and for everything else people plan: birthdays, corporate events, quinceañeras, showers, memorials, fundraisers. It's less useful if you already know exactly who you want. If you've got their number and you're ready to book, contact them directly — that's faster than posting. Provow is for the part before that, when you don't yet know who's out there or who's free on your date.

What happens if no vendor responds to my post?

Review whether your post clearly describes the date, location and services you need. You can also browse the directory or check whether the Concierge Promise offers outreach support for your post. Replies, availability and bookings are not guaranteed. Optional AI outreach, where available, uses drafts you review and approve. It's less useful if your date is a week away. Vendors book out months ahead, and no amount of outreach conjures someone who's already working that Saturday. If you're that close, calling directly will beat posting.

How do I compare wedding vendor proposals?

Compare the scope, price and availability, then ask what the quote includes and what could cost extra. Review the professional’s work and discuss arrangements if plans change. Use your Inbox to clarify the details. A proposal does not reserve the date or book the professional; agree the contract and payment directly before treating the service as confirmed. It's less useful if you only have one. Two is where comparison starts — if you've got a single proposal you like, you're not comparing, you're deciding, and that's a different question.

How is Provow different from searching Google or The Knot?

On Provow, you publish one event brief with the date, location and services you need. Professionals can respond with proposals, and you can compare the replies and continue the conversation in your Inbox. You can also browse the directory yourself. Posting is free for Hosts, and Provow does not charge a booking commission. It's less useful if you already know exactly who you want. If you've got their number, call them — that's faster than posting.

My venue gave me a preferred vendor list. Should I use it?

It can be a useful starting point. Ask how the venue selects the businesses, whether you must use the list, and whether outside-provider fees or commercial arrangements apply. Review each professional’s work, availability and terms. You can also post on Provow to hear from other professionals and compare your options. It's less useful if your venue's list is short, earned, and you like what you see. A list that exists because the venue trusts those people is worth using.
