Planning a wedding involves choosing a team of vendors who understand your vision and will make your big day as seamless and beautiful as possible. While online reviews and social media can give a general idea of a vendor’s work, one of the best ways to find high-quality vendors is through recommendations from other vendors. Vendors often recommend those they’ve worked well with, creating a team that understands each other’s style and rhythm. Start with a key vendor (like your planner or photographer) and ask for suggestions. Their network can lead you to reliable, compatible professionals who’ll make your day seamless and cohesive. Just be sure to meet with each vendor personally to ensure they’re the right fit for you!
