For celebrants
Your busiest hour is the one you can't answer your phone in
You're mid-ceremony. Someone just found your site and wants a quote for a date six months out. By the time you check your phone, they've already messaged two other celebrants.
The blackout window is the ceremony itself
For a celebrant, the blackout window isn't a whole day the way it might be for a photographer. It's the ceremony itself, plus the hour either side of it spent with the couple and their families. That's a short window, but it's also the exact moment a new enquiry is most likely to arrive: word-of-mouth referrals and social discovery spike around real weddings, and real weddings are precisely when you're unreachable. A missed enquiry in that window isn't a delayed reply, by the time you're free, the couple has usually already heard back from someone else.
No 12-month lock-in, no pay-to-rank
You don't get locked into a yearly contract to have someone answer enquiries while you're working, and you don't pay more to show up higher than another celebrant. That's the model some directories already ask you to accept, it isn't ours.
Quote and deposit follow-up, not just the first reply
A first reply is only the start. Vereli follows up on outstanding quotes and deposit requests too: the admin that eats into the hours you're not officiating, without you having to remember to chase it yourself.
If Saturday doesn't have an inbox, this is what one looks like.
