Wedding & Event Vendor Business Watch

Track the business side of US wedding and event vendors. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: listing fee, lead pricing, ranking, review and dispute rule changes at The Knot, Zola, WeddingWire, Thumbtack, Bark, GigSalad, The Bash, Peerspace, Yelp and Google Business Profile as applied to vendors; state contract, deposit, cancellation and force majeure rule changes and rulings; sales tax rule changes on photography, planning, rentals and catering by state; licensing and permit changes for caterers, bartenders, officiants, DJs and drone photographers; venue exclusivity and preferred vendor list practices with enforcement or lawsuits; published pricing and booking trend data from The Knot, Zola and The Wedding Report; deposit dispute and small claims rule changes; AI image and editing disclosure rules; and vendor insurance and certificate requirement changes. Prefer platform pages and vendor notices, state legislatures and revenue departments, licensing boards, court documents and established industry reporting; ignore coaching and lead-generation marketing. Put the platform, state or rule first in the title with the number and the effect on a vendor doing 30 events a year. Use high severity for a fee increase of 25 percent or more, a ranking change at a top platform, or a law taking effect within 90 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
