3 Tips on Choosing the Best Vendors for Your Wedding
Now you have decided to tie the knot; you are super excited as the bride to be. However, you must not forget about planning and organizing everything just because of the excitement. Choosing the best vendors is one of the biggest challenges a bride might face when planning her wedding. With that said, hopefully this article will help you set some guidelines about how to choose the best vendors for your big day.
In general, you will have to depend on the services provided by several vendors to make your big day a memorable and perfect one without any unpleasant surprises. For instance, you will have to rely on a professional photographer, catering service, florists, hairdressers, a makeup artist, wedding car service and more. A single mistake in choosing one of those services can add a big frustration to your event. So, consider the following aspects thoroughly before choosing any of those.
1. Ask around
One of the best ways to end up with a good service provider is to ask around. You can ask from your relatives, friends, coworkers, etc. about excellent vendors they have experience with. In fact, asking around is a very effective method in choosing a vendor because you are using real-life experiences to differentiate them from the rest.
2. Visit their website/social media profile
Every modern-day business has gone online and wedding service providers are also interested in maintaining a strong online presence. If a certain service provider doesn’t have a website or a social media profile, that must be a red flag. A good service provider is always willing to show off their capabilities instead of hiding them. So, visit the websites or social media profiles of the potential vendors and get an idea about their standard. When it comes to a service provider like a photographer, their portfolio must be visible to you as a witness to their previous work. In addition to that, you must read the feedback left by the previous clients about their services. A professional service provider will always maintain a testimonials page on which the actual clients have left their feedback. Also, the comments left on their social media pages provide a strong insight into their overall standard.
3. Be perfectly clear about what they charge
Make sure to get quotes in written format after presenting your exact requirement. Also, ensure that that you discuss everything and have absolutely no doubt about it. The prices should not have any hidden fees. If you have more than one candidate to select as your service provider, don’t choose a certain vendor just because they offer the cheapest price. Instead, determine the feedback left, references and their online appearance.
In addition to that, you must schedule two meetings with each vendor before the wedding. In each of these meetings, you must discuss all the doubts in mind and ensure that they get your requirements precisely. Share the contact details and the names of the contact person with a friend or a relative in case any confusion were to arise and you needed some help in communicating with your chosen vendors.
Good luck!
