How the vendor marketplace works

The Sparrow marketplace is where couples discover and book vendors. Understanding how it works helps you get found.

How couples find vendors

Couples search by vendor category (e.g., Photography), location, and availability. Your profile appears in results when it matches their search criteria.

What affects your visibility

• •Profile completeness — complete profiles rank higher
• •Availability — profiles with up-to-date availability appear for relevant dates
• •Booking history — vendors with confirmed bookings gain credibility over time
• •Portfolio quality — more images and media improve engagement

Getting your first booking

For new vendors, focus on completing your profile and uploading strong portfolio images. Couples are more likely to reach out to vendors who look established, even if you're new to the platform.
