Tips for Choosing the Best Wedding/Event Vendors
Planning an event can be stressful especially when you think of all the vendors that are involved. It is important to think of your event in its entirety and that includes your vendors. Vendors are the individual puzzle pieces and the event is the completed puzzle.
With that in mind, here are our tips for choosing the right team:
Give yourself time: The good vendors book up fast so you want to give yourself plenty of time to research the perfect vendor, but move quickly. You don’t miss out on choosing the perfect one because they are already booked.
Know your numbers: Make sure that you have a general idea of how big or small your party is. Not all vendors can accommodate large parties.
The circle: Do you research, many vendors work together on numerous events and get along very well. It will be to your benefit to pick a group of vendors that have worked together in the past. It will create a magical synergy for your event.
Ask for referrals and look at reviews: Before you book any vendor for your party make sure you check with people who have used them before. The internet is a huge resource for you and it should be used. Websites like Yelp, WeddingWire, The knot and Google Plus are all great ways to find out how your vendors rank with past clients. Also, feel free to ask the vendor you are considering for a few past clients that they know will be willing to vouch for their creative genius and reliability.
Go with your gut: If you get a funny feeling when you meet with a potential vendor and something just seems off, listen to your gut! Also, don’t ignore the little things. If a vendor has a messy and disorganized at their office, chances are they will be the same at your event. You gut and your eyes should be trusted, don’t second guess them.
Cheers, and happy planning.
