The brand position

Wedding directories in Australia have followed the same playbook for 15 years: free for couples, lead-resale to venues, opaque sponsorship, fabricated "star ratings." VenueGuide.au is the inverse: free for couples, flat-fee venue listings (no lead resale), explicit sponsored labelling, no fabricated ratings.

See our public trust commitments for the structural details.

Founder bio

Tayne Rongo (Perth, WA) — Sole trader operating as SeaQae Group. Background: independent software work, AI engineering, and brand building. Built VenueGuide.au because the existing wedding directories felt extractive to both couples and the venues they were trying to find. Reachable via Mia at [email protected].
