FAQ
Are UK and international mixed?
No. UK is the default shortlist. International destinations stay in a separate strip.
Can I appear on more than one Ideal Family site?
Yes. You join Ideal Wedding Day by default from this site; if you suit other brands too, add those packages from The Ideal Venue owner hub. Cross-site listing is optional, not automatic.
Who approves listings?
The Ideal Venue team remains the control plane for approval, billing and the master venue record.
Why don’t you show per-person prices?
Most wedding venues charge a hire fee (plus optional catering packages). Per-person guide prices belong to stag/hen activities — not wedding venue hire. Ask each venue for their package.
What are wedding boards?
Shortlists you compile while browsing — save venues, add notes, and plan with a free couple login.
