There are so many key things to successfully planning a wedding, but one of the most important details is choosing the right wedding vendors. Finding wedding vendors can be overwhelming – so we’ve come up with a few tips to help you put your best foot forward to find the perfect wedding vendors for you!
TIP 1 – Ask Around!
Whether you have a ton of friends who’ve recently tied the knot, or you’re members of wedding groups on Facebook, this is the best way to start finding vendors. Recommendations from couples who’ve worked with these vendors in the past are arguably the most trusted source of information you can find. Ask about the experience your friends had working with specific wedding vendors and ask for recommendations of who they’ve loved. You’re in no way obligated to book the same wedding vendors that your friends or family did, but this is a fantastic place to start. Pro tip – if you’ve already booked your venue, they may have preferred vendors or recommendations for you to work with, too. Ask about this!
TIP 2 – Spend Some Time Online!
In the age of social media, most vendors are now showcasing their best work on platforms like Instagram, and this will give you the best idea of what they’re capable of. So check their online presence, including their social media, their websites, and even their google reviews. You’ll be able to tell pretty quickly whether you’re liking their style. So do your research! You don’t want to be surprised (unless it’s in a good way!)
TIP 3 – Reach Out!
Once you’ve asked around and checked for yourself, it’s time to reach out to your potential wedding vendors. It’s important to come prepared to any meetings you’re setting up so that neither of you are wasting each other’s time. And don’t forget to ask all your questions! You’ll need to know pricing, availability, package information, and any extra details that will make working with this wedding vendor as smooth as possible.
