How this ranking works
Every venue is scored by the same fixed 100-point formula over public data from Google, The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, and Instagram. The formula is identical in every city.
The math is deterministic: no editor picks winners and no AI invents scores. AI is used only to classify businesses and summarize reviews, and every summary is verified against the source reviews before it is published.
204 of the 234 businesses we analyzed did not make the list: service providers, misclassified businesses, and lower scorers.
