Planning a wedding is not easy. There are a number of decisions to make, to-dos to check off, and people to speak with. Given the amount of detail and organizing required, you must be very intentional about what you do and who you choose to work with. One mishap could throw a wrench into the wedding planning process, which is why it’s crucial to have good people on your side. Unfortunately, though, one of the hardest things to juggle when wedding planning is finding and working with the right vendors. 

Why Is It Important?

If you’re planning a wedding, chances are you will be working with more than one vendor. For instance, one vendor may be doing your flowers, another your dress, still another for your cake, and the list goes on and on depending on what you’re looking for. However, one thing that many brides and grooms forget about is that most vendors do not communicate directly with each other. As a result, you end up being the hub that tries to organize all the issues and explain the plans to several people, which can be a bit of a challenge! 

How To Pick The Right Vendors

When choosing vendors, the most important step you can take is carefully interviewing the vendors you are considering. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your friends and family members to learn about their experience working with different DJs, videographers, venues, and more. The individuals closest to you are much more likely to tell you the good and the bad about their process, which will help you make an informed decision. 

In addition, remember that you are not just looking for a professional with strong skills in their specialty area. That’s just one piece of the puzzle. You also want to ensure that any vendor you are considering is extremely responsive to your questions and concerns. Therefore, be sure to ask about their typical response time. 

Another question to ask a prospective vendor is how well they work with other vendors. When it comes to planning a wedding, you can’t afford to have people working in silos. Communication is essential for transforming your wedding dreams into reality. Your vendors will need to collaborate with one another and trust each other’s expertise in order to pull it all together.
