No calls, no haggling, no deposit until you have a quote in writing. Here is the whole flow, start to finish.
Step 1: Find your pro
Search by profession, place and budget. Every profile is ID-checked, with real reviews, clear rates and recent work.
- Filter by category, city or price
- Compare rates side by side
- No account needed to browse
Step 2: Send a request
Share your date, venue and budget. It costs nothing to ask, and most pros reply within a couple of hours.
- Free to send, no card required
- The pro sees your full brief
- Ask as many pros as you like
Step 3: Lock it with a deposit
Accept the quote and pay only the deposit. It holds the date in the pro’s calendar and nothing else is due until the day.
- Deposit set by the pro, shown up front
- Paid by GCash, Maya or card
- Balance paid in person, on the day
Step 4: You’re booked
The date is confirmed, reminders are on, and the chat thread stays open until the job is done.
- Calendar invite and reminders
- Message the pro any time
- Free cancel up to 14 days before
What your deposit actually does.
It holds your date
Once the deposit clears, the slot is blocked out in the pro’s calendar and cannot be double-booked through Vuker.
It comes off the total
The deposit is part of the agreed price, never on top of it. Whatever is left is the balance you pay on the day.
It comes back if you cancel early
Cancel more than 14 days before the date and the deposit is refunded in full, through the same method you paid with.

Before you book.
Does it cost anything to send a request?
No. Sending a request is free and you can send as many as you like. Money only enters the picture when you accept a quote and choose to pay the deposit.
How much is the deposit?
It is set by the professional, not by Vuker, and it is shown in full before you pay anything. Typical bookings on the platform sit around a quarter of the agreed price, with larger commitments — a full wedding day, say — sometimes set higher.
When do I pay the rest?
On the day, directly to the pro. Vuker handles the deposit so the date is protected; the balance is settled in person once the work happens.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel more than 14 days before the date and your deposit is refunded in full. Inside 14 days the pro has usually turned other work away, so the deposit is theirs to keep — their cancellation terms are shown on the profile before you book.
What does “verified” actually mean?
Before a profile can accept a single booking, we check a government ID against the person behind the account, and any credentials the trade requires. Profiles that fail the check never appear in search.
Can I message the pro before booking?
Yes. Every request opens a thread, so you can settle the details, ask for extra photos of past work, or adjust the package before anyone commits.
