So, How Do I Know If a Vendor is Reliable?
Before you book a vendor, make sure you do your research! Look at reviews on their website, socials, and Google pages. Ask people you know who are recently married about vendors they used and their experiences. Don’t hesitate to ask your other vendors for recommendations either, including us! We’d love to share with you some of our most trusted vendors who always knock it out of the park!
Something you can do on your own in the initial stages of vendor communication is have questions prepared to ask. You can get a good feel for a vendor by the way they answer your questions. For example, you’d feel more comfortable with a vendor who can answer all your questions or, if they don’t have an answer for you, follows up with you shortly after your conversation. On the other hand, you probably wouldn’t feel great booking a vendor who never answered your questions, took forever to get a response from, or constantly rescheduled your meetings.
After doing your research and booking your favorite vendors, you’ll be on your way to finding the perfect “I Do” crew for you!
