Overview
Packages are the foundation of your presence on the Wedy marketplace. Each package represents a service offering — complete with a cover photo, pricing, service details, and customizations — that prospective clients browse when they discover your profile on Wedy App. Whether you are a photographer offering an elopement package, a planner listing day-of coordination, or a DJ advertising a premium reception set, creating a polished package is how you turn marketplace visibility into real bookings.
Creating your first package is one of the key steps on your Getting Started Checklist. Once your profile is complete and your payment account is connected, adding at least one package is the next milestone before you can apply for Vendor Collective verification and go live on the marketplace.
Before you begin
Before you can create a package, make sure you have completed these prerequisites:
Completed your vendor profile. Your business name, category, location, portfolio, and FAQs must be filled in. If you have not done this yet, start with the Complete Your Vendor Profile guide.
Connected your payment account. Clients pay through your packages, so your payment account must be set up first. Follow the Set Up Payments guide to get connected.
How to navigate to Packages
To create a package in Wedy Pro, navigate to Packages in the sidebar under the Marketplace section. This opens the Packages page where you can view, manage, and create all of your service offerings.
From here, click Create Package to begin building your first offering.
How to create a package on Wedy Pro
The package creation flow in Wedy Pro is a guided multi-step process. You will start by choosing a package type, then fill in the details across three steps before publishing. Here is exactly how to build your first package from start to finish.
Choose your package type
When you click Create Package, you will first see the Choose Type screen. Here you have two options:
New Package — Create a brand-new package from scratch. Choose this if you are building a service offering for the first time.
Select Existing — Start from an existing service you have already created. This is useful if you want to create a variation of a package you have already built — for example, a premium version of an existing photography package.
Select your option and proceed to the first step.
Step 1 — Cover photo, title, and pricing
Upload a Cover Photo. This is the first image clients see when browsing your packages on the marketplace — choose a high-quality photo that represents the service. Think of it as the hero image for this offering.
Enter a Title. Use a clear, descriptive name that tells clients exactly what they are getting. For example: "Full Day Wedding Photography," "Day-Of Coordination," or "Premium DJ & Lighting Package."
Set your Base Cost. This is the starting price for the package — the core cost before any add-ons or extras. You can always adjust this later.
Set the Duration. Specify how long the service lasts — for example, 8 hours of photography coverage or a 4-hour DJ set.
Set the Additional Cost. If there are optional costs beyond the base — such as travel fees, overtime rates, or premium add-ons — enter them here. This gives clients transparency on what the total investment may look like.
Once you have filled in these fields, click to proceed to the next step.
Step 2 — Service details and customizations
Add Service Details. This is where you list everything included in the package. Break your offering into clear line items — for example, a photography package might include: "8 hours of coverage," "second shooter," "online gallery," and "engagement session."
Add Customizations. These are optional extras or variations that clients can select — such as "album design," "extra hour of coverage," or "drone footage." Customizations let clients tailor the package to their specific event needs.
Take your time with this step. The more specific you are about what is included, the more confident prospective clients will feel when submitting a booking request.
Step 3 — Review and publish
Review all the details you have entered — cover photo, title, base cost, additional cost, duration, service details, and customizations.
Make any final edits before going live.
Click Publish to make your package live on the marketplace.
Once published, your package immediately becomes part of your vendor profile on Wedy App, visible to clients browsing vendors in your category.
How packages appear on the Wedy marketplace
Once published, your package becomes part of your vendor profile on Wedy App — the client-facing marketplace where couples and event hosts browse and book vendors. Here is how the connection works:
Marketplace listing: Your published packages appear on your public profile alongside your portfolio, FAQs, and reviews. Clients can browse your packages, compare pricing, and submit a booking request directly.
Booking flow: When a client selects one of your packages and submits a booking request, it appears in your Bookings page in Wedy Pro (under the Marketplace section of the sidebar). You will see the inquiry details, client information, and the package they selected.
Transparent pricing: Clients see the base cost and any additional costs or customizations upfront — giving them a professional, transparent booking experience that builds trust from the first interaction.
Using packages in invoices and proposals
Packages are not just for the marketplace — they also streamline your client workflow inside Wedy Pro. When you create an invoice or proposal for a client, you can pull in your saved packages directly rather than building line items from scratch every time.
In invoices: When creating an invoice within a project, you can add a package as a line item. The base cost, additional cost, and service details carry over automatically, saving you time and ensuring consistency across every client engagement.
In proposals: Packages can be embedded in proposals so clients see exactly what they are getting — services, pricing, and customizations — all within a beautifully branded document they can review, sign, and pay in one step.
This means every package you build serves double duty: it attracts new clients through the marketplace and accelerates your workflow when managing booked clients through the CRM. For more on creating documents, see the Send Your First Document guide.
Tips for creating packages that convert
Lead with your best photo. The cover photo is the first thing clients see. Use a professional image from a real event — not a stock photo. Natural light, authentic moments, and polished compositions make the strongest impression.
Be specific with service details. Vague descriptions like "basic package" do not inspire confidence. List exactly what is included — hours of coverage, deliverables, timelines — so clients can make informed decisions.
Price with intention. Your base cost sets the anchor. Use customizations and additional cost strategically to offer flexibility without undervaluing your core service. Many successful vendors start with a mid-range base cost and offer premium customizations.
Create multiple packages for different needs. Consider offering packages at different price points or for different event types — an intimate elopement package, a full wedding day package, and a premium all-inclusive package. This gives clients options and shows the range of your expertise.
Write a compelling title. "Gold Package" tells clients nothing. "Full Day Wedding Photography with Second Shooter" tells them everything. Use your title to communicate the value of what you offer at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a package after publishing it?
Yes. Navigate to Packages in the sidebar, select the package you want to update, and make your changes. Updates go live immediately.
Do I need to complete my profile before creating a package?
Yes. Your vendor profile must be complete before you can create packages. If you have not finished your profile yet, start with the Complete Your Vendor Profile guide.
What is the difference between Base Cost and Additional Cost?
The Base Cost is the starting price for the package — what the client pays for the core service. The Additional Cost covers extras beyond the base, such as travel fees, overtime, or premium add-ons. Together, they give clients a clear picture of the total investment.
Will my package be visible on the marketplace right away?
Your packages appear on your Wedy App profile, but your profile must be approved through the Vendor Collective verification process before it is publicly visible to clients on the marketplace. Create your packages first, then apply for verification.
Can I use my packages in invoices and proposals?
Yes. When creating an invoice or proposal within a project, you can add your saved packages directly as line items. This keeps your pricing consistent and saves time on every new client engagement.
