CHOOSING WEDDING VENDORS: TIPS AND ETIQUETTE TO FINDING YOUR EXPERTS

Tips and Etiquette in Finding Your Wedding Experts


Well, just who wouldn't love a wedding that is perfect with every last detail. It is such a memorable day and it is great to be able to reflect back upon your wedding day and just smile. Sometimes it is just that one detail that generates a special emotion that jogs the bond that brought you and the groom together. But! we all know that having your desired details and a day that runs with perfection means delegating the experts to your wedding day. Experts aren't the aunts, uncles, family friends or the bridal party to tend to these details. The word expert is referring to industry professionals with a focus and experience in event planning, day of wedding coordination, photography, videography, floral design, catering, and entertainment.



The realization that finding the right vendor can be time consuming, daunting, tricky and even frustrating; but once they are in place it minimizes the stress of planning. Here are a few tips and etiquette caveats that you should try out.




What Are You Dreaming Up?
Make a clear list of what you expect from your vendors. For example, write of list of 10 photo ops you must have in you collage of wedding pictures from your photography. Chances are they already know, though.


Compare and Contrast.
It may be worthy to note, that your should research no more than three - four vendors in each expertise and decide on one. Interviewing more than four vendors can get a bit confusing and you may confuse the difference in what each offers.


Make Your Calls.

So you've surfed the web and spent most of your time looking at packages online at the click of your mouse and found a few professionals that have peaked your interest. It is time to pick up the phone and call. This is where you trim your long list. Turn that list of four into a st of three, choose one and have your back up just in case your date is not available.



Grab a Latte.
Okay, so your felt good about things after your time on the phone; now it's time to sit down with them and go over some details for your day. Get to know your professional over a coffee or tea. This will give you an opportunity to share your clear vision of what you want for your wedding day. An expert in this industry has a great balance of knowing what to do and how to be flexible. They may not be able to give you a 'yes' for all the items on your checklist, but as a professional they may be able to work within your budget or offer alternatives that could be just a satisfying. And last but not least...


Do Not Leave Anyone Hanging!



By this time you should have a good grasp as to who you are going to hire for your wedding day. With or without, a deposit - you have probably selected the professionals that are going to take the load off your shoulders, grasped your vision and shares your passion. 

This is important! 
During your research you talked to other vendors and centered their time around you and your day. If you have decided not to hire them for whatever reason: Now! ..is a good time to let them know: "Thank You, but..". Follow up on these inquiries, these industry professional devoted time to answering your questions. Send a quick email, text or pick up the phone and provide an update in that you have selected a competitor. Consider the time they invested in your inquiry. The duration of their time may have been more than the time it will take you in letting them know they will not be hired the job. They will appreciate that you did!
