City names and geographic coordinates come from the GeoNames geographic database, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

Metropolitan-area reference names come from the Census Bureau’s July 2023 metropolitan-area delineations.

How we adapted the data

We selected and combined city records, standardized common city spellings, and used geographic distance to suggest a nearby major city for existing listings. The source data was downloaded on September 29, 2026.

A nearby-city suggestion does not confirm a vendor’s travel coverage or availability. Vendors can update their selection, and event planners should confirm service at their venue directly with the vendor.
