How to search for vendors
You can browse the whole directory or narrow it down to exactly the kind of vendor you need. No account is required to search.
Filter by category
Start with a category — DJs, photographers, venues, entertainers, face painters, photo booths, and more. Choosing a broad category shows every vendor within it, including its subcategories.
Filter by location
Use the location filter to browse by state or region. Two extra toggles help when distance matters:
- Nationwide shows vendors who serve clients anywhere in the country.
- Virtual shows vendors who work online, wherever you are.
Browsing by state or region takes you to a location landing page — a good way to see everyone who serves your area at a glance.
Search by keyword
The keyword box searches vendor descriptions and their family-friendly answers, so you can look for something specific — a theme, a language, a specialty — and find vendors who mention it in their own words.
Vendors who'll chat first
Tick "Offers a consultation or discovery session" to show only vendors happy to have a short, no-obligation call or meeting before you book. Not sure what that means? See What's a consultation or discovery session?.
Compare your options
With a free account, save vendors you like with the heart button, then open Compare to see your shortlist side by side — categories, pricing, service area, and more in a single view.
A tip
If you are flexible on location, turn on the service-area filter to include vendors who travel to your area or work virtually. It often surfaces great options you'd otherwise miss.
Looking for events rather than vendors? Families can also browse a calendar of upcoming family-friendly events — see Finding family events.
