Here's why you'll want to use our RSVP Portal.

This system is the only RSVP tool built specifically for Stone House of St. Charles - not for advertisers, not for corporate profit, but for you.

Corporate wedding platforms use “free wedding websites” as a traffic‑capture trap. Once couples and guests land there:

• The platform monetizes them through ads, affiliate links, and vendor placements.

• Couples are pushed toward corporate‑approved vendors, not Stone House of St. Charles vetted list.

• We lose the ability to educate, guide, and protect you as a couple.

• Guests never visit our website—meaning they never see our rules, policies, or updates.

• Some couples report that big platforms change or manipulate information on their wedding website pages to benefit advertisers.

Couples on TikTok and Instagram have repeatedly warned that these “free” tools come with hidden costs—data harvesting, vendor manipulation, and misleading recommendations.
