NACE provides caterers, event planners and event professionals with professional education, certification, and resources to help you grow and thrive.

Friendor is the network for wedding vendors. Photographers, DJs, planners, coordinators, florists, videographers, hair & makeup, caterers, officiants, photo booth pros — the people who actually work weddings. Not a booking site. Not a couples-facing marketplace. A colleague network. Friendor is invite-only. You join with a code from a vendor who's already on it, and every member gets a code to share from their profile. You already know your circle: the photographers you second-shoot with, the DJs who pass you a gig when they're already booked, the planners who have a preferred-vendor list. Friendor is where that circle lives online — a private feed where you post gigs, message peers directly, and back each other up. POST A GIG IN 30 SECONDS. • Role, date, location, pay, gear notes, photos. • Urgent tag when the wedding's this weekend. • Every colleague in your area sees it — no algorithm burying it. • Apply and Message buttons live inline on every feed card. No buried detail screens. BACKFILL EMERGENCIES WITHOUT THE GROUP-TEXT SCRAMBLE. • Second shooter cancelled the day before? Post it and every vendor on the feed can see it. • DJ family emergency Saturday morning? The photographer → DJ → planner chain has already seen it before you're done typing. • The feed is filtered by role and location, so you're not spamming florists with lead-photographer asks. DISCOVER OTHER VENDORS IN YOUR AREA. • Vendor directory filtered by role and location. • Square avatars, clean profiles, portfolio grids. • Message anyone directly — this is a peer network, not lead generation. SAVE, FILTER, SORT. • Heart-save gigs to come back to later. • Filter the feed by role. Sort by date. See who your crew is. • DMs are one-to-one, participant-verified, and yours to keep. COMMUNITY BY DESIGN. Friendor doesn't try to look like every other social app. The visual language is a retro desktop window — title bar, menu bar, beveled buttons. On purpose. This is a workspace for pros, not a scrolling loop optimized for engagement metrics. No lead capture, no vendor tiers pushed to your clients, no marketplace where couples browse you like a catalog. This is for vendors, between vendors. SAFE COMMUNITY. Every gig, profile, and DM has a Report action and a Block. Reports go into a moderation queue reviewed within 24 hours. Blocks take effect immediately and hide the blocked user's gigs, profile, and DMs from your view. WHO THIS IS FOR. Working wedding vendors. Photographers, videographers, DJs, planners, coordinators, florists, hair & makeup pros, caterers, officiants, photo booth operators, day-of coordinators. If you show up to weddings for a living, Friendor is for you. WHAT THIS ISN'T. • Not a couples-facing marketplace. Couples don't browse vendors here. • Not a booking platform. All money exchanges between vendors and their end clients happen outside Friendor. We don't take a cut of your wedding fees. • Not a directory search engines index to rank you. Your Friendor profile is for peers.
