FREE VENUE MATCHMAKING BY
Knowists — Our Wedding Experts
How does it work?
How’s your service different from regular online directories?
Good question! Unlike those typical directories that hide info behind paywalls or push sponsored spots to the top, we keep things simple and upfront. We want finding the perfect venue to be easy and honest.
Instead of just throwing a bunch of listings at you, we actually help match you with venues that fit what you’re looking for. We’ve researched over 15,000 venues and in most case, have direct contacts with their event coordinators—so we know exactly who to reach out to.
With a mix of smart tech and real people who know their stuff, we handpick the best options to save you tons of time and hassle. Easy peasy!
What is the process for finding a venue through your service? How does finding a venue with The Knowery actually work?
It’s simple and personalized:
Tell us what you need: Start by filling out our quick and easy online questionnaire with key event details.
We do the matchmaking: Our expert Venue Knowists use smart filters, proprietary tools, and real-world matchmaking experience to narrow down the best-fit venues from our extensive database.
We make the introduction: We contact your shortlist of venues on your behalf—and share your event requirements.
You hear directly from the venues: Venues with availability will reach out to you directly with quotes, proposals, or helpful recommendations to move your planning forward—using only the contact info you’ve approved (phone or email).
Our goal is to simplify the search, eliminate dead ends, and connect you with venues that truly fit your vision.
What types of venues does The Knowery work with?
If a venue offers wedding or event space, chances are it's already in our database. We work with a wide variety of venues—from hidden gems to iconic, high-profile locations, including banquet halls, unique social spaces, restaurants, and everything in between. Our mission is to create meaningful, personalized connections between clients and venues that match their unique needs, style, and vision.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We primarily serve venues across the United States, but we're actively expanding to include select destination venues as well. Stay tuned—exciting locations are on the horizon!
Is The Knowery's matchmaking process confidential?
Absolutely. We prioritize your privacy and confidentiality at every step. Your information is only shared with venues that match your search criteria and never with outside vendors or third parties without your consent.
Who uses The Knowery, and why do they use it?
The Knowery is perfect for busy brides, grooms, celebrants, and event pros who want an easy way to find great venue matches. Sure, they could search on their own—but honestly, the internet is all over the place. Info is scattered everywhere, and endless scrolling can get super exhausting.
That’s where we come in! Our matchmaking service helps cut through the clutter and gets you organized, so you can find the right venues faster and with way less stress.
Do event planners use The Knowery's service?
Absolutely! Lots of event planners love using us because we do things a bit differently. Whether you’re planning for yourself or helping a client, our personalized matchmaking saves you a ton of time and hassle.
Plus, we don’t play favorites with sponsored venues, so you get honest, unbiased recommendations. We work with almost every venue across the U.S., so you’ve got plenty of real options to pick from.
What’s in it for The Knowery if there are no paywalls? Sounds too good to be true!
When our vendors thrive, so does The Knowery.
We get it — it might sound a little unbelievable! The truth is, we really want to help brides, planners, and event pros find what they need. That’s why we built The Knowery in the first place.
At the same time, we need to keep the lights on. So, we make money by giving venues and wedding vendors the chance to get extra exposure by being featured in special parts of our site. These featured listings don’t just boost their visibility—they help brides discover amazing offers they might not have known existed.
But don’t worry—the core matchmaking service stays unbiased and honest, with no paywalls or hidden fees.
It’s a win for everyone: you get great venue matches without any hassle, and we keep doing what we love.
