WeddingDir - Directory & Listing WordPress Theme for Vendor / Supplier 1.1.8

WeddingDir is a specialized, feature-rich directory and marketplace WordPress theme designed for the wedding industry. Created by wp-organic, it serves as an end-to-end solution for building a platform where couples can find, compare, and book wedding vendors such as venues, photographers, and florists.

As of late 2025, it is highly regarded for its dual-dashboard system, allowing both couples and suppliers to manage their interactions natively.

## Core Directory & Marketplace Features

Dual Dashboard System:

Vendor Dashboard: Suppliers can manage their business listings, view analytics, respond to reviews, and manage inquiries.

Couple Dashboard: Brides and grooms get a suite of planning tools, including a Guest List Manager, Budget Calculator, To-Do Checklist, and a Wishlist for favorite vendors.

Elementor Powered: Built entirely with the Elementor page builder, giving you drag-and-drop control over every layout without needing to touch code.

Advanced Search & Filters: A robust search engine allows couples to filter vendors by category, location, and price range, making it a direct competitor to sites like The Knot or WeddingWire.

Real Wedding Submissions: A dedicated feature that allows couples to share their wedding stories and photos, which helps boost the site's SEO and authenticity.

Invoicing & Payments: Supports professional invoicing and multiple payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay) for vendor membership plans or lead-generation fees.
