Affiliate Disclosure

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase or booking through them. These links look and function like regular links — the only difference is that they contain a tracking code that identifies WeddingVenue.blog as the referral source.

When you click an affiliate link on our Site and complete a qualifying action (such as booking a hotel room or purchasing a product), the merchant pays us a small referral fee. This fee comes from the merchant's marketing budget — you never pay more by using our affiliate links.

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently participate in the following affiliate programs:

• Stay22: We embed hotel and accommodation search widgets powered by Stay22. When you book a hotel through these widgets, we may earn a commission.
• Booking.com Affiliate Program: Some hotel and accommodation links direct to Booking.com. We may earn a commission on completed bookings.
• Amazon Associates: We may link to wedding-related products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
• Other Travel and Wedding Partners: We may participate in additional affiliate programs with travel, hospitality, and wedding service providers. All such relationships will be disclosed.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is completely independent of our affiliate relationships. We want to be transparent about this:

• We never accept payment from venues or businesses in exchange for positive reviews or coverage
• Affiliate commissions do not influence which venues we feature, our ratings, or our editorial recommendations
• We recommend venues and services based solely on their quality, value, and relevance to our readers
• We will always disclose when content contains affiliate links
• We include venues and services in our guides regardless of whether they offer an affiliate program

How We Identify Affiliate Links

We identify affiliate content in the following ways:

• An affiliate disclosure notice appears at the top of every article that contains affiliate links
• A site-wide affiliate disclosure is displayed in the footer of every page
• Hotel and accommodation widgets (powered by Stay22) are clearly labeled
• This dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page provides comprehensive details about our affiliate relationships

Why We Use Affiliate Links
