Vendor standards

A curated frum directory, not an open listing board.

SimchaMap should only show vendors who are appropriate for frum families planning simchos. Visual categories require extra care before public listing.

Required

Frum community fit

Vendors must be comfortable serving frum families and respectful of Orthodox Jewish simcha expectations.

Strict review

Tznius & photos

Photographers, video, styling, beauty, clothing, and decor vendors cannot be listed if their public photos or promotional material are immodest.

Confirm details

Kashrus & event fit

Food and venue listings should clearly support kosher simchos. Families should still confirm hashgacha and venue rules before booking.

Rule of thumb

If it would make a frum family uncomfortable, do not list it.

When in doubt, keep the vendor in the review queue until someone checks the public website, portfolio, and social media.
