We've got the answers for your questions
A Verified Local Charlottesville Vendor™ is a CWS member that has undergone human verification to confirm they are a local Charlottesville business vendor. To qualify, businesses must have a local address within a 50-mile radius of Charlottesville City Center.
Yes, any business is invited to join CWS and may select from any of the membership levels. If you don't qualify to become a Verified Local Charlottesville Vendor™ your profile will not be allowed to list this distinction and you will not be permitted to use the official Verified Local Charlottesville Vendor™ badge.
Achieving verification not only distinguishes your business from competitors but also supports the strength and integrity of Charlottesville's wedding industry by helping couples identify the local businesses that are the backbone of this vibrant community.
CWS provides a platform for all wedding professionals to learn, connect, and thrive; however, our mission extends to elevating our local business members to a notable level of distinction that differentiates your services.
As a Verified Local Charlottesville Vendor™, you will gain enhanced visibility with a special designation on your directory profiles, and you will receive an official badge to leverage in your marketing and branding materials—further solidifying your esteemed position within the market.
CWS offers a variety of in-person networking opportunities throughout the year. From casual coffee meetups to grand holiday parties, we host a range of events to encourage networking among our community members. Whether you prefer intimate gatherings, educational workshops, or large social events, we have something for everyone.
