💍 Wedding Venue & Vendor Email Extractor — Eventective

Type a city, pick a category (wedding venues, caterers, DJs, planners, …), and get back one lead row per business with an EMAIL-first contact card: emails[] crawled from the vendor's own website, email_type, MX email_verified, best_contact, plus the public phone, website, and socials from the Eventective profile. Enrichment is always on — that's the product.

GDPR filter	✅ genericInboxOnly — drop personal-name emails, keep info@/events@	❌

New-listing monitor	✅ diff per city+category, Slack/email/webhook alerts, new-lot-detected pricing	❌
Failure handling	retries with fresh proxy session per attempt; vendor-site failures are soft misses (never crash the run); per-site crawl deadline	—
Anti-bot risk	none — Eventective is server-rendered, no login, no challenges	Google Maps scraping arms race

A generic Maps + email scraper is the proven pattern — but it makes you scrape and enrich a pile of unrelated businesses to find the venues and vendors. This one is the same always-on-enrichment play purpose-built for the wedding & events niche: the directory is pre-filtered to venues and event vendors, so every lead you pay to enrich is one you'd actually sell to — no nail salons in your wedding-venue list.

What does the Wedding Venue & Vendor Email Extractor do?

1. Scrapes Eventective listings for your city + categories (~30-60 businesses per listing page) — name, public phone, website, socials, description.
2. Crawls every business's own website (homepage, /contact, /about, …) for emails — including Cloudflare-obfuscated and (at)/(dot)-written ones — plus extra phones and socials the profile didn't list.
3. Grades each email: role vs personal (email_type), domain accepts mail (email_verified, MX via DNS-over-HTTPS), and how likely it belongs to that business (email_confidence high/medium/low + reason).
4. Outputs one flat lead row per business — paste into your CRM, Clay, Instantly, Smartlead, n8n, or Make.
5. Optional monitor mode: run on a schedule and get ONLY newly listed venues/vendors — already email-enriched — with Slack/email/webhook alerts.

What data do you get per lead?

• 📛 name · category · description · profile_url · eventective_id
• 📧 email (best pick) · emails[] (all found) · email_type (role/personal/other) · email_verified (MX) · email_confidence + reason
• ☎️ phone (Eventective public phone, else first phone found on the website) · phones_web[]
• 🌐 website · socials (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest)
• 🎯 best_contact — the single best way to reach them (email → phone → website → social)
• 📍 city · state · pages_crawled · record_id · is_new (monitor mode) · scraped_at

• 🤝 Vendors prospecting partners — DJs who want every new venue, florists who want every planner

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	What it covers	Price
lot-scraped	each venue/vendor lead returned	$0.004
lot-detail-enriched	each vendor website crawled for contacts	$0.003
monitor-run-completed	each scheduled watch run	$0.05
new-lot-detected	each newly listed venue/vendor	$0.02
alert-delivered	each Slack/email/webhook alert	$0.005

≈ $7 per 1,000 fully emailed leads ($0.004 + $0.003 each) — and you only pay the enrichment fee for businesses that actually have a website to crawl.

Legal & GDPR

• Public business-directory data. Names, phones, websites, and socials are published openly on Eventective; emails are taken from each business's own public website.
• Personal data: some vendor sites publish personal-name emails (jane@…). Turn on genericInboxOnly to drop those and keep only generic role inboxes (info@, events@, sales@) — the GDPR-cautious default for EU outreach.
• You are responsible for compliant outreach — CAN-SPAM (US), GDPR/PECR (EU/UK), CASL (Canada): lawful basis, identification, opt-out.
• Scraping publicly accessible pages is generally lawful, but directory terms of use are a gray area — review your own risk tolerance and local rules before commercial use.

FAQ

1. How is this different from a Google Maps email extractor? Same enrichment idea, but the source is pre-filtered to the wedding/event industry. On Google Maps you pay to scrape and enrich every "venue-ish" business and then clean the list; here every row is already a venue, caterer, DJ, planner, etc.

2. What's the email hit rate? Roughly 50-70% of businesses with a website in live testing. Misses are mostly big-chain sites (Hilton, corporate club groups) that render their pages in JavaScript and publish no email in the HTML. Phone + website come back for nearly all leads, so every row is still actionable — best_contact always gives you something.

3. Does it verify the emails? It MX-verifies the primary email's domain via DNS-over-HTTPS (email_verified: true = the domain accepts mail). That catches dead domains and typos; it is not a full SMTP mailbox check.

4. What does email_confidence mean? high = email on the business's own domain AND MX-verified. medium = own/related-brand domain but unconfirmed MX, or a brand mailbox on Gmail. low = off-domain, eyeball before outreach. none = no email found.

5. Can I get only generic inboxes (no personal data)? Yes — set genericInboxOnly: true. Personal-name emails are dropped before output; only role inboxes like info@, events@, bookings@ are kept.

6. How do I get more emails per lead? Raise maxPagesPerSite to 5-6. The crawler visits the homepage plus contact/about/weddings pages and follows contact-ish links; more pages = a higher hit rate, slower runs.

7. Does monitor mode re-charge me for old leads? No. Monitor mode remembers what it has seen (per city+category, in a persistent named store) and outputs/charges only new listings — each one already email-enriched.

8. Which cities and categories work? Any city Eventective covers (US + Canada, thousands of metros) — pass "Dallas, TX" or the slug dallas-tx. Categories: any of the 15 friendly names above or a raw Eventective slug.

9. Do I need proxies, an account, or an API key? No login, no API key. Eventective is server-rendered with no anti-bot; default Apify datacenter proxy is plenty.

10. Can it feed Clay / Instantly / Smartlead / n8n / Make? Yes — pull the dataset via the Apify API or integrations. Each row is flat (email, phone, website at top level) so it maps straight into enrichment/sequencer columns.

11. What happens when a vendor's website is down? A failed or slow site is a soft miss: the lead still comes out with phone/website/socials, email_confidence: "none". Per-site crawl deadlines mean one dead host never stalls the run.

12. How fast is it? Listings and profiles are sub-second; the website crawl adds ~1-4s per business, run 8 at a time. ~100 fully enriched leads typically complete in a few minutes.
