How to Evaluate Rosi's Suggestions

Rosi surfaces 3-5 candidates per category — enough to compare, not so many that you're drowning in options. Here's what to actually look at:

  • Capacity fit. A caterer who specializes in 200-person weddings may not want to do your 35-person reunion. Filter for vendors comfortable with your size.
  • Reviews summary. Rosi shows aggregated review themes — "great food, slow setup" vs "flawless and on time." Read the actual reviews on Google/Yelp before booking.
  • What's included. Caterer prices can mean wildly different things (food only vs food + service + cleanup). Reunly flags this when it matters.
  • Deposit terms. Most venues and caterers want 25-50% upfront. Build that into your deposit plan.
  • Cancellation policy. Reunions sometimes shift dates. Vendors with flexible cancellation save you stress.

How It Connects to Your Budget

This is where Reunly beats a Google search: when you mark a vendor as "booked," the cost flows directly into your budget tracker. Estimated vs actual updates automatically. Per-person cost recalculates. If you go over budget on the venue, Reunly flags it so you can adjust elsewhere.

This loop matters because vendor decisions cascade. The caterer at $28/person feels different from $18/person when you multiply by 80 guests. Reunly shows you that delta before you book, not after.

Vendor Discovery Questions Answered

Can Reunly help me find caterers, photographers, and venues?

Yes. Reunly's AI assistant Rosi suggests vendors across 8 categories — catering, venue, photography, music, rentals, tents, transport, and florals — based on your group size, location, and budget. You can shortlist favorites, contact vendors, and mark them as 'booked' to auto-add the cost to your budget.

How does Reunly find vendors?

Rosi uses your reunion details — location, group size, vibe, and budget — to search local vendors and surface 3-5 strong matches per category. Each suggestion comes with price range estimates, reviews summary, website, contact info, and what's typically included.

What vendor categories does Reunly cover?

Catering, venue rental, photography, music/DJ, rentals (tables, chairs, linens), tents and shade, transportation (shuttles, group rides), and florals. These are the 8 categories that cover 95% of what family reunion organizers actually book.

Are the pricing estimates accurate?

Rosi gives realistic price ranges based on your region and group size — for example, '$18-$28/person for buffet catering in the Atlanta metro for 75 people.' Final pricing always comes from the vendor's quote, but the estimate is close enough for budget planning.

Does Reunly take a commission from vendors?

No. Reunly does not take a commission, finder's fee, or kickback from any vendor we suggest. We don't have a paid placement model. Suggestions are based on what fits your event, not what pays us.

Vendor research is the worst part. Reunly does it for you.
