  • Content may change without notice

We do not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses (although we take reasonable steps to operate responsibly).

6) Directory listings and scheme information (important)

6.1 What accreditation and CWP mean

MarryMark is an independent accreditation and education body for the wedding industry. Our assessments are based on information supplied by the business or individual at the time of application and renewal, including documentation, audits, and training participation (where applicable).

Accreditation indicates that a business or CWP holder has met MarryMark’s standards at the time of assessment and (where relevant) has remained subject to good-standing requirements. It is not a guarantee of future performance, business viability, financial stability, or service outcomes.

6.2 Couples and consumers must conduct their own checks

Couples and consumers should conduct their own checks, make independent enquiries, and enter into contracts directly with the vendor.

MarryMark is not a party to any agreement between couples/consumers and vendors and does not determine contractual liability.

6.3 Listings are not real-time guarantees

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in Listings and verification tools, we cannot guarantee completeness or real-time accuracy of information and accept no liability for errors, omissions, or changes made by businesses after accreditation.

6.4 Accredited businesses remain responsible

Accredited Businesses remain solely responsible for their ongoing compliance with legal, regulatory, insurance, and professional obligations. MarryMark reserves the right to amend, suspend, downgrade, revoke, or decline renewal of accreditation/credentials in accordance with the relevant Scheme Documents.

7) Third-party websites, links and services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms (including accredited business websites, social pages, booking tools, or payment/learning platforms). These are provided for convenience only.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, or the services they provide. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8) Submissions through the Website

If you submit information through the Website (including enquiries, applications, documents, evidence, complaints, or feedback), you agree that:

  • the information you provide is accurate and not misleading
  • you have authority to provide it (including where it contains personal information of others or client materials)
  • you will not submit unlawful, defamatory, or privacy-breaching content.

We may use submissions for scheme administration purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Scheme Documents.

You may view and print Content for personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit any Content without our written permission, except where allowed by law.

Badge use is strictly controlled: even if a badge appears on the Website, it may only be used by the accredited party under the Badge & Claims Usage Rules.

10) Disclaimer (general information)
