How United Vows keeps things safe
Trust at United Vows
Weddings involve large deposits, long planning windows, and dozens of people you have never met. United Vows is built around four trust mechanisms that work together so couples and vendors can transact with confidence.
United Vows Booking Protection
Every deposit paid through United Vows is held in escrow and only released as the vendor delivers. If they cancel or fail to deliver, you have a clear claim path.
Learn howVerified Reviews
Reviews on United Vows can only earn the Verified badge after a real wedding booked on the platform completes successfully. Unverified reviews appear separately and do not move the vendor's rating.
Learn howVendor Verification
Every vendor on United Vows is identified, with public business listings, response-time tracking, and a tier system tied to actual completed bookings through the platform.
Learn howPrivacy + your data
You own your data. We honor GDPR, CCPA, and GPC signals. Your wedding plans are private to you and the people you invite. We do not sell your contact details.
Learn howWhy these four pieces reinforce each other
Each mechanism on its own is useful. Together they create a system that is hard to game and easy to trust.
- Booking Protection only triggers when the booking happens through United Vows, so vendors who close offline forfeit access to the trust signals their peers earn.
- Verified Reviews are only earned by completing a protected booking, which means the rating system reflects real, money-exchanged outcomes, not anonymous opinions.
- Vendor Verification + Booking Protection together mean couples never wire a deposit to an unknown party. The vendor is real, identified, and accountable.
- Privacy + Data underpins all of the above. We protect the booking data because the booking data is the load-bearing record for every other promise we make.
