Choosing your wedding vendors
Selecting your wedding vendors is one of the most important aspects of planning your wedding! You have no time to waste so being organized is the key! Here are some tips that you should consider:
- Research and set a budget to get a clearer picture in advance. Hire the best vendor in each category in the price point you can afford.
- Take every element into consideration and remember the 4P’s: passion, product, personality and price!
- Explore multiple options and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to tap into the wealth of wedding knowledge of your wedding vendors.
- Make sure you’re able to connect and feel comfortable with your photographer. It’s not just about likes on social media, it’s about reliving the moments for the years to come. Talk to your photographer about timing and locations so you can get the best shots. Try not to overcomplicate the day and no matter what happens, have fun!
- Pick someone who grasps your vision, and who shares your passion for the event.
