The Las Vegas Vendor Marketplace · By Invitation Only
A new marketplace built by an event vendor, for event vendors. Be part of the founding group that shapes it from day one.
A note from Barbara Anih-Buford, Las Vegas event vendor and photo booth business owner:
I've been paying for leads on Bark, Thumbtack, GigSalad, and The Knot for years. I know exactly what it feels like to spend money chasing clients who never respond. So I stopped complaining about the problem and decided to build the solution — a platform where clients come to us, post their real event needs, and we respond with our actual quotes. No mystery credits. No cold leads. And never again paying to answer a lead that was blasted to five vendors at once — here, clients post their event and choose who they want to hear from. Just real business.
Founding Member Availability
Founding member spots are limited — no more than 5 per vendor category. When a category fills, it closes.
Why Join Now
Simple monthly plans ($25 / $50 / $75) with unlimited lead responses — no per-reply credits, ever. Your founding rate is locked in permanently, no matter how big we grow.
Founding members appear at the top of their category in search results at launch.
A verified badge on your profile that signals trust and authority to every client who views you.
Direct input on features, categories, and platform decisions before we go live to the public.
The Platform
A client posts their event — date, type, location, and what they need.
Vendors in the matching category see the job and submit a formal quote with pricing.
The client reviews quotes and connects directly with the vendor they want to book.
Real clients. Real events. Real revenue — not credit-based guesswork.
The Road Ahead
We would rather do one city properly than five badly. Las Vegas is home — it is where I have worked events since 2019, and it is where VendlyPros opens. Where we go after that is not my decision. It is yours.
Every category filled, real vendor density, and a marketplace that works the day it opens — before we look anywhere else.
Vendors outside Las Vegas join the Expansion Wish List. It costs nothing, it holds your place, and it logs your city.
When one metro gathers enough vendors on the wish list, that is the signal. We open it next — and you were there first.
Our first request from outside Nevada came from North Carolina, days after the doors opened. The map is already bigger than the plan.
Straight Answers
No. Not for a job, not for a quote, and not when a client contacts you. One flat monthly rate, unlimited responses in your categories. That single fact is the reason this platform exists.
It closes. It leaves your feed, quoting is switched off at the server, and every vendor who quoted is told. You will never again send a quote into a job that was booked last week. No other platform does this, and it is the first thing I asked my developer to build.
$25, $50 or $75 a month, depending on how many categories and service areas you cover. Founding members lock their rate for life — it never rises for you, whatever launch pricing turns out to be.
Founding spots are capped at five per category, so your category never floods with founders — and every founder sits above every vendor who joins later. Honestly, being the only DJ on a marketplace would be worth less to you, not more: clients come here to compare, and a category with one vendor looks broken.
The developer is chosen and the build runs as a seven-month process, delivered in two-week stages so there is working software to look at throughout. Founding members hear from me monthly with real progress — the wins and the bumps. I will not promise you a date I cannot hold.
You are not paying for the platform. You are locking a lifetime rate and a founding seat, and having a real say in what gets built. The fifty founders are how this gets built by vendors instead of investors.
Your founding fee is refunded in full. The money sits in a dedicated development fund that is not touched for anything except building VendlyPros. That is what makes the promise real — and it protects me as much as it protects you.
Not yet — and I would rather tell you that plainly than take your money. Add your city to the Expansion Wish List in the form below. It is free, it holds your founding place, and it is how we decide where to open next.
Barbara Anih-Buford. I have run Elite Motions Foto Booths in Las Vegas since 2019 — most people around here know me as the photo booth lady with the six-foot mirror. I built VendlyPros because I spent five years paying five lead platforms and finally sat down and did the math.
