What we won't do — even when it's tempting.
VenueGuide.au exists to fix the parts of wedding-venue search that are broken. The fixes are deliberate, public, and structural. These are our trust commitments. They're also our differentiators.
No lead resale
Your enquiry goes straight to the venue. We never sell, share, or rent your contact details to third parties or competing venues.
Read the detail →No fake reviews or ratings
We don't publish fabricated star ratings, fake review counts, fake testimonials, or invented "trusted by" claims.
Read the detail →Sponsored, always labelled
Paid placements are clearly marked as "Sponsored". They affect visibility, never search relevance. No disguising paid as organic.
Read the detail →Marketing consent stays separate
Enquiry submission and marketing opt-in are independent choices. We never bundle them, never pre-tick the marketing box.
Read the detail →Data handling and retention
We retain only what we need. You can export or delete your data anytime. Australian-hosted Supabase. Encrypted at rest and in transit.
Read the detail →AI disclosure
We use AI to verify venue facts (capacities, hours, addresses) against the venue's own website. We never generate fake reviews with AI. We never publish AI-imagined photos as if they were the venue.
