Get ready for peak engagement season

Peak engagement season is approaching, bringing an influx of newly engaged couples who are starting their search for wedding vendors like you. In fact, couple sign-ups on The Knot and WeddingWire marketplaces are nearly 30% higher during peak engagement season than during the rest of the year. 

To help you get ready for engagement season, we’re introducing several updates designed to support every step of the lead-to-booking journey. In the app, you can request reviews for your Storefronts and use Draft Assistant, a new AI-powered tool that allows you to create personalized responses faster. Meanwhile, our Trust & Safety efforts protect your inbox from spam.

Together, these updates can help you build trust with prospective couples, spend more time on legitimate business opportunities and make the most of every incoming inquiry this engagement season. 

Build trust and visibility with in-app review requests

Wedding pros with reviews receive up to two times as many leads and Storefront visits as those without, and reviews can also contribute to greater visibility in search results. 

That’s why we’re making it easier to request reviews from past couples. You can now send review requests directly through the WeddingPro iOS app, so you gather feedback while managing your business on the go. By making review requests a regular part of your business practices, you can continue building a collection of authentic social proof to showcase to prospective couples.

There’s also an opportunity to put those reviews toward recognition. Reviews collected on The Knot and WeddingWire by December 31, 2026, can help qualify pros for The Knot Best of Weddings and the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards®.

What pros can do: Open the WeddingPro iOS app to start requesting reviews from past couples today! 

Protect your inbox with enhanced Trust and Safety efforts

Spam is an ongoing challenge across the tech industry, which is why we’re continuously investing in technology and resources to help protect our pros’ inboxes and keep your inbox focused on real opportunities. Some of our recent investments include:

• A dedicated Trust & Safety team: Our specialized operations team actively monitors the platform to spot, mitigate, and remove unwanted activity while enforcing strict community standards.
• Expanded Engineering: We’ve scaled up our engineering efforts to add new layers of protection to every inquiry, detecting and blocking suspicious activity before it reaches your inbox.
• Automated Detection Tools: New smart detection technology recognizes patterns spammers leave behind, stopping suspicious accounts faster across all your Storefronts.

These efforts help you save more time by focusing on legitimate inquiries and real business opportunities. Although spam can’t always be prevented entirely, WeddingPro is continuously developing new ways to strengthen inbox protection. 

What pros can do: Keep an eye on your WeddingPro Inbox for new inquiries, stay focused on connecting with real couples and report any messages you deem suspicious. 

Respond faster with the new Draft Assistant AI tool

When couples are actively searching for wedding vendors, timely communication can help you make a strong first impression. In fact, pros who respond within three hours of receiving a message from a couple are 1.7 times more likely to hear back. To help you respond faster, we’re introducing Draft Assistant, a new AI-powered tool available directly in the WeddingPro iOS app. 

Draft Assistant uses your actual business details to generate a tailored response draft in seconds, unlike generic AI tools. The result is a starting point for authentic, personalized replies that can help you save time while staying focused on running your business. 

You always have complete control to review, edit and personalize each response before deciding whether to send it. 

By helping you create personalized responses faster, Draft Assistant makes it easier to engage with couples while they’re actively considering which wedding vendors to choose.
