If you are a supplier I suggest staying far away. I signed a 12 month subscription to have a automatic debit order come off and cancled it 2 months before my 12 months s up to ensure there s no automatic resubscribing me and they just continue. They dont answere s, dont reply to s and just continue debt orders so there is no y in stopping them from deducting money from you.
Super helpful directory with top-quality vendors! The platform is visually appealing and filled with real weddings, ideas, and contacts. It became my go-to during the planning process. So worth it!
This wedding directory made planning so much easier! We discovered amazing vendors we wouldn't have found otherwise. Professional, inspiring, and beautifully curated — an essential tool for any bride-to-be.
A fantastic resource for finding trusted wedding vendors! The listings are detailed, easy to navigate, and incredibly helpful when planning our big day. Highly recommend it to all engaged couples!
From venues to florists, everything we needed s just a click away. The directory saved us time and stress. Definitely one of the best wedding planning tools out there!
Loved using this platform! It’s well-organised and full of inspiration. Found our photographer and décor team here, and they were amazing. A must-have guide for any wedding journey!
As a wedding vendor you nt to be aligned with some of the best platforms out there, not only for brand visibility but also for new bookings and growing your own business.
Pink Book Weddings provides us with exactly what we need.
They bring us new couples, assist us with growing our business, and allow us to submit awesome content to assist with SEO.
The profile layout looks AMAZING, and I just love how our feature looks.
They are professional, put their vendors first, and are definitely a great platform for any couple who is newly engaged.
Thank you, PinkBook for being so awesome and helping us and the couples out there.
Be very careful with suppliers listed in Pinkbook. Pinkbook gives a lot of credibility to suppliers without vetting them properly. And they take no responsibility for recklessly promoting fraudulent suppliers. We hired a photographer promoted and awarded by them. We paid R30 000 and we do not have one wedding pic from our big day. Absolutely heartbreaking!
We hired seated queen florals for our wedding flowers and they definitely delivered with out centre pieces and main table looking stunning. Professional service and were there for us throughout the who process making the big day a huge success. We will definitely be using them for every event. Thanks again for the amazing work
I may be the slightest bit bias because I won an amazing competition that Pink Book ran but besides that! Pink Book is informative, giving out amazing tips, tricks and information on everything wedding related in South Africa. A South African brides dream! They also make so many brides dreams come true with their competitions in collaboration with photographers, wedding retailers, djs, venues, Caterers, and more!
Highly recommend following and supporting whether you're getting married or are married already.
