WedCanada Hotel Partnerships
Position Your Hotel Where Canadian Couples Are Planning Their Weddings
WedCanada is a Canadian wedding marketplace and planning ecosystem designed to connect engaged couples with the businesses and experiences that help bring their weddings together.
We are selecting a limited number of Founding Hotel Partners across Canada.
Each participating city can have one exclusive Hotel Collection position.
Your hotel can become the designated exclusive hotel for your city within the WedCanada wedding marketplace and planning ecosystem.

Why hotels belong inside the WedCanada ecosystem
A traditional hotel advertisement puts your property in front of an audience and hopes the right person clicks.
WedCanada takes a different approach.
Your hotel is positioned inside a wedding marketplace where couples are actively discovering vendors, organizing their wedding, communicating with businesses and making decisions about the services, venues and accommodations they need.
The opportunity is not simply to advertise your hotel. It is to position your hotel inside the wedding journey itself.
Your Hotel Is Not Just a Listing.
It Becomes Part of the Wedding Planning Environment.
The exclusive hotel position
WedCanada is intentionally creating a curated Hotel Collection rather than filling each city with an endless list of competing hotels.
We are offering one exclusive hotel position per city for our designated Hotel Collection. This creates a clear, premium position for the hotel selected to represent that market.
Exclusive City Position
Hotel Collection
Premium Marketplace Visibility
Once a city has its exclusive hotel partner, another hotel will not be offered that same exclusive Hotel Collection position during the partnership year.
Your Hotel Does Not Have to Compete for the Same Exclusive Hotel Position With Another Hotel in Your City.
What your hotel receives
Exclusive hotel representation for your city on WedCanada.
Exclusive hotel position within the Hotel Collection for your city, both on the WedCanada homepage and on the Hotel Collection page.
#1 Diamond positioning in the Hotel category in the directory.
Featured and highlighted hotel listing in the directory.
Your hotel has access to the Room Blocks functionality within the Vendor Studio.
Inclusion in the WedCanada Hotel banner advertisement appearing throughout the website, rotating with other hotels in other cities.
Ability to also participate in the Venue category, with the exact Diamond position to be determined based on the venues listed for your city.
Ability to participate in additional relevant categories where appropriate.
The homepage advantage
The WedCanada homepage is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate within the ecosystem.
Your exclusive hotel position for your city appears in both places: on the WedCanada homepage and on the Hotel Collection page, introducing your property to couples and leading them directly into the Hotel Collection.
The purpose is not simply visibility. It is to create a clear path from discovery to the Hotel Collection to your property.
DiscoveryHotel CollectionYour Property
The Hotel Collection
The Hotel Collection gives couples a dedicated place to explore accommodation options as part of their wedding planning journey.
For your city, your hotel becomes the designated exclusive hotel position within that collection. This creates a much more focused experience than placing your property inside a long list of competing hotels.
Less Noise.
More Positioning.
A Clearer Path to Your Hotel.
Room blocks
Room blocks are an important part of the wedding accommodation experience.
WedCanada includes Room Blocks within the Vendor Studio, giving hotels a dedicated feature designed around this part of the wedding journey.
A dedicated hotel feature within the WedCanada environment designed to support wedding accommodation needs.
The bigger WedCanada ecosystem
The real value of the hotel partnership extends beyond the Hotel Collection.
WedCanada gives couples an environment where they can plan and organize their wedding while discovering the businesses that will help bring it together.
Couples can use WedCanada to discover businesses, save favourites, communicate with vendors and manage their wedding planning.
The couple experience
Couples have their own WedCanada environment designed to help them manage the many moving parts of their wedding.
The couple experience
This matters because couples are not visiting WedCanada for one isolated transaction.
They are using an environment designed around the broader wedding journey. Your hotel is positioned within that environment.
Vendor discovery
WedCanada connects couples with wedding professionals across a broad range of categories, including:
And more. Your hotel is positioned within the same ecosystem where couples are discovering the professionals who will help create their wedding.
Vendor Matchmaker
WedCanada includes a Vendor Matchmaker designed to help couples discover relevant wedding professionals based on their planning needs.
Couples can provide information such as:
The system can then provide vendor matches based on those criteria.
The Couple's Planning Journey Becomes the Path to Discovery.
Communication and business tools
WedCanada is not only a consumer-facing marketplace.
The platform also includes tools designed to support the business relationship between vendors and couples.
These tools allow businesses within the WedCanada ecosystem to manage relationships and activity as couples move from discovery toward booking and beyond.
Client experience
The WedCanada Client Portal includes:
WedCanada is designed to support the relationship beyond the initial discovery moment.
The marketplace model
WedCanada is intentionally designed around curated marketplace positioning rather than unlimited listings.
For standard vendor categories, the marketplace structure is 5 Diamond, 5 Gold and 10 Silver: maximum 20 vendors per category, per city.
For hotels, the model becomes even more exclusive. The Hotel Collection is built around one designated exclusive hotel position per city.

National opportunity
WedCanada is being built as a national Canadian wedding marketplace, with city and province-based discovery.
The destination and hotel ecosystem is designed to support markets across Canada, including:
Additional Cities Available
WedCanada is expanding its Hotel Collection across Canada, with additional city positions available as the national marketplace grows.
The opportunity is designed to grow with the Canadian wedding market and create meaningful relationships between couples, hotels, accommodations, venues and wedding professionals.
The WedCanada couple journey
DiscoverSaveMatchMessagePlanRequestBookReview
WedCanada is designed to keep the couple connected to the marketplace throughout their planning journey.
The hotel partnership places your property inside that journey at a point where accommodation and wedding-related travel decisions matter.
Why the exclusivity matters
In a traditional directory, multiple hotels can compete for attention on the same page.
WedCanada's Hotel Collection is designed differently.
One hotel receives the exclusive hotel position for a city.
That creates:
We Are Not Trying to Put Every Hotel in the Marketplace.
We Are Creating a Curated Hotel Collection.
The founding hotel opportunity
WedCanada is currently selecting our first Founding Hotel Partners across Canada.
Founding Hotel Partners have the opportunity to secure an exclusive city position while we continue building the national hotel and wedding ecosystem.
Limited Founding Hotel Positions
The number of exclusive hotel positions is intentionally limited because the value of the partnership is tied to exclusivity.

The big picture
WedCanada is building a Canadian wedding marketplace and planning ecosystem where couples, wedding professionals, hotels, venues and other wedding-related businesses can connect within the same environment.
Your hotel is not simply receiving a listing.
You are receiving a strategic position within a wedding ecosystem.
