What changed, and what comes next

VowLedger currently tracks 84 source-linked named-venue price records. This page records material changes so couples can see when the library, scanner and methodology move forward.

Latest data refresh

September 13, 2026 · 84 named-price records. Public price records retain a direct source link, pricing basis and individual check date. Local ranges without a direct venue source are labeled as modeled estimates.

September 13, 2026

Trust, scanner review and public-price refresh

  • Added a public contact route, response-time target, plain-English methodology and independence statement.
  • Expanded the named-price library with official 2026 public venue and ceremony pricing while preserving source, scope and check dates.
  • Added clearer document-reading confidence, scan feedback and operational event signals without collecting quote text or prices.

September 12, 2026

Quote comparison and hidden-fee audit

  • Expanded venue quote normalization, plus-plus estimates, payment-risk screening and hidden-fee questions.
  • Added required line-by-line review before venue rankings are shown.

September 11, 2026

City cost guides and source-linked explainers

  • Published city venue-cost pages and practical guides for service fees, minimums and blank-slate comparisons.

Public roadmap

  • Grow the source-linked named-price library with official venue pages and consented, anonymized quote observations.
  • Improve complex-table and low-quality image review while keeping on-device scanning the default.
  • Evaluate an optional consent-based assisted scan only after its privacy, retention and cost rules are documented.
  • Publish regular data-refresh notes and expand local coverage where enough trustworthy observations exist.

Priorities can change as couples report confusing results. Suggest a correction or report a problem.

Independence rule

Vendors cannot pay to change a benchmark, move above another venue or suppress a correction. If advertising or optional paid features are introduced later, the core planning tools and data-ranking rules stay separate from payment.
