One of the biggest questions vendors ask when joining DayOf is: “How does pricing actually work? How do you get paid?”
Because if you’ve been in the wedding industry for any amount of time, you’re used to something very different:
- Hourly pricing
- Custom quotes
- Endless back-and-forth just to land on a number
DayOf removes that friction completely.
Start With Your All-Day Price
On DayOf, vendors don’t price by the hour. You set a single all-day price—a clear, upfront rate that reflects what it actually takes to book and serve a wedding. This isn’t about undercutting your pricing. It’s about simplifying it.
Couples don’t have to:
- Ask for a quote
- Wait for a response
- Wonder what the final number will be
They see one price. And they can book.
Where the 5% Comes In
DayOf takes a 5% percentage per booking. But here’s the key difference: It’s already built into the price couples see.
That means:
- You set your pricing intentionally from the start
- There are no surprise deductions later
- Couples are not hit with additional platform fees at checkout
Everything is transparent—for both sides.
Why We Built Pricing This Way
Most platforms charge vendors before they ever get booked:
- Monthly subscriptions
- Lead fees
- Paying just to be listed
Whether it works or not.
DayOf doesn’t operate like that. Instead, we’ve aligned our model with actual results: We only make money when you do.
What This Means for Vendors
1. You Stay in Control of Your Pricing
You decide your all-day rate based on your experience, market, and service level. The 5% isn’t a surprise—it’s something you account for upfront.
2. No Guessing Your ROI
You’re not spending hundreds each month hoping it turns into bookings. Your cost is directly tied to real revenue.
3. Better-Fit Clients
Because couples see:
- Your real availability
- Your full price
They’re not just inquiring—they’re ready to book.
What This Means for Couples
Wedding planning is already expensive and time-consuming.
Couples are used to:
- Waiting days for quotes
- Getting different pricing from every vendor
- Trying to compare apples to oranges
With DayOf:
- Pricing is clear
- Availability is real
- Booking is instant
And that simplicity leads to faster decisions.
A More Efficient Way to Book Weddings
Across the industry, vendors are charging anywhere from hundreds to thousands depending on their service and market, with day-of coordination alone often ranging from around $1,200 to $2,500+ depending on experience and location. But regardless of price point, one thing stays the same: The booking process is often more complicated than it needs to be.
DayOf fixes that.
The Bottom Line
DayOf pricing is built on three simple principles:
1. One clear, all-day price
2. 5% per booking (already included)
3. No upfront costs
No subscriptions, no lead fees, and no hidden charges.
Why It Works
Because it aligns everyone:
- Couples get clarity and speed
- Vendors get real bookings
- The platform only succeeds when both do
You’re not paying to be seen. You’re getting paid to do the work. Start here: Become a vendor.
