How to start a website for an event planning or wedding business

Couples and companies book planners whose work they can see. Here is how to showcase your events and collect enquiries on your own domain.

IDX·November 4, 2026·1 min read

Event and wedding planners sell an experience that has not happened yet, so proof matters: real events, real photos and real reviews.

What to include

  • Portfolio of events by type: weddings, corporate events, conferences, private parties.
  • Services and packages, from full planning to day-of coordination.
  • Venues and partners you work with.
  • Enquiry form asking for date, guest count, type and budget range.
  • Testimonials and video highlights.

Step 1: domain

A memorable brand domain for invitations, social media and printed material. Register it at IDX.

Step 2: hosting for galleries

Event portfolios are image- and video-heavy. IDX web hosting gives you space and speed; embed videos from a streaming platform rather than hosting large files yourself.

Step 3: email for clients and vendors

Proposals and vendor coordination from your domain with business email; team plans include mailing lists for your crew.

Step 4: build

A visual theme, fast galleries, and a clear call to action on every page: check your date, request a proposal, or message on WhatsApp.

Step 5: keep it seasonal

Add new events after each season and highlight upcoming wedding or corporate seasons with offers.
