Sources, methods and useful work.

AI assistance and responsibility

We use AI tools for research, drafting, editing, coding and creating original graphics. All Wedding is responsible for the material it publishes. We do not claim that AI-assisted articles were written from scratch by a human or reviewed by independent human experts when that did not happen.

The research-library launch uses separate source, editorial and publishing checks. These are stages of the workflow, not a claim of two independent human reviewers. Research bylines identify the All Wedding research function, rather than inventing an expert's personal credentials.

Primary sources and accurate populations

Government registrations, Census estimates, platform-member surveys and our own listing dataset answer different questions. A statistic keeps its original publisher, observation year, unit and population. We do not multiply a platform survey percentage by all registered marriages to invent a national booking count.

Where available, a resource shows the study sample and limitations. A report's overall sample size does not automatically apply to every category question or supplemental survey. If a subgroup size is undisclosed, we say so.

Source disagreements remain visible. For example, a live spending explainer can differ from a report PDF. We attribute each figure and do not invent a reason for a discrepancy.

Two review stages before publication

1. Evidence review: check numeric claims, original passages, dates, units, denominators and calculations. Reject unsupported market-size estimates, rankings and invented quotes.
2. Editorial and publishing review: check that the resource answers its own task, explains its limits, links to relevant resources and providers, and renders with working downloads, accessible controls and matching metadata.

A review date records when the resource was checked. It does not turn an older observation into current-year data, confirm current vendor availability or establish that every price is a recent local quote.

Original graphics and planning tools

Our research graphics are original redraws with a visible source and scope. The resource offers SVG and PNG downloads and an attribution-preserving embed. Our original graphics may be reused under CC BY 4.0; this permission does not cover a third party's complete report.

Calculators identify their formulas and illustrative inputs. Worksheets and inquiry templates are original planning materials. They organize your questions and supplier answers; they do not retrieve current quotes or prove that a supplier has agreed to a task.

Directory data and commercial features

Our coverage benchmark counts a dated imported listing-record cohort. It is not a national census, price index, live inventory total or deduplicated count of companies. Its downloads contain aggregate counts and methods.

Enhanced profile features and featured labels are separate from the research facts. We do not present a commercial label as an editorial endorsement or as evidence that a supplier's service is better. See how the directory works and provider information.

A paid or affiliate editorial link must disclose the relationship and use the appropriate sponsored link attribute. Ordinary citations to primary research are linked as sources.

Corrections and versioning

Send a correction with the URL, passage, supporting source and proposed change. We assess the evidence and show material corrections or scope changes in the affected resource. We do not promise a response deadline we cannot support.

The October 2026 research launch replaced unsupported claims in our main wedding-statistics page, directory benchmark and venue-tour guide. Older guides are not automatically certified by that launch's review date. Check the source and method attached to the particular claim you use.
