Event planning

I'm launching a marketplace for event vendors to list products/services for planners. Is there demand for this? What challenges are likely to occur?

It would be a platform where event vendors can list their products, rentals, and services, allowing event planners to easily find and purchase everything they need in one place. From your experience in the event planning industry, do you think there is a strong demand for this type of platform? What challenges or opportunities do you foresee for a marketplace that serves both vendors and event organizers?

The issues are:
1) you have to sign up thousands of suppliers to cover geographic issues
2) You need thousands of event planners to make the platform be of interest to suppliers
3) How will you monitize this (i.e. membership dues, commissin on each transaction)?
4) Tech stack needed is expensive
