Hitched In CO is a Colorado-based platform featuring wedding planning content, a vendor directory, events (including expos), and an online store for tickets and digital products.

5) Attendee Contact Information & Vendor Communications

We care about respectful communication. We use clear, granular consent to control sharing.

At registration, on the Site, via QR codes at booths, or via giveaways/surveys, we may collect your name, email, phone number, wedding details (date, venue region, budget bands), and preferences.

5.2 How we use

We use your information to:

• Deliver tickets and event updates (date/time/logistics, weather/parking changes).
• Send planning content, vendor suggestions, and promotions only if you opt in.
• Improve the event experience and the Site (analytics, service improvements).

5.3 Sharing with vendors

• Default: We share your email/phone by default with wedding expo vendors only.
• At-booth scans/QR: If you scan a vendor’s QR or sign a vendor’s list, you consent to share your info with that vendor only.
