Thanks man! Any notes would be helpful. Like any startup, we're just trying to figure this out as we go. Agree, this is definitely not a homejoy type of business. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how you think we should take fees on both sides? Initially our thought was to model it like an Airbnb rental where as the couple are the guests, and the vendors are the hosts. Build in the proper technology to make the system work better and you can easily take a service fee, which we will take from the couple looking for services. Yea! We envision that the couple has a go to service to handle everything down to the last payment. We envision the bride/groom signing off at the end and paying all the vendors by pressing a button. Currently they literally write checks at the end of the event. Thanks for the help!

When you are doing a task - say find a florist - you can charge people on the exchange to advertise right there on a PPC model, you can charge for keeping your wedding private (£50 say?) and you can charge for extras like auto generating a website. I would add that it's quite an interesting problem in its self to decide what tasks are even in a wedding and what needs to be done. Maybe my idea is a little different in that it's focused around having control over all aspect of your wedding from the companies through to who will usher people into the church and what hymns will be sung... This then makes me start thinking are there differences in the planning of a gay wedding, a baptist wedding, and Indian wedding... Imagine if you could assign tasks and roles like groomsman/brides maid and you can agree to help out... There's millions of possibilities with it... Even things like seat planning. Could be a lifetime of work. Charging for the budgeting feature and allowing people who had already overspent by the most access to special offers by tradesman. You would have to be careful to filter out offers that were already being used!

  For sure! The monetization points are endless. There is an endless task list of things to do for a wedding. There are differences in every type of wedding, that allows for people to get really creative here. It's definitely a rabbit hole, with plenty to do! Thanks again, let's keep in touch.
