It goes without saying that planning your wedding can become one of the most stressful times in your life. You want everything to be exactly as you imagined, but you also want to be sure your guests enjoy themselves. Try trusting some people to help you with confident decision making.

Preferred Vendor List

When you receive vendor recommendations from a trusted source, take note. Sure, you can research on your own. But with each review that you read online, do you actually know the source of that review? Most likely not. However, when it comes to your venue, you are trusting them to handle all of you and your guests requests so why wouldn’t you trust their opinion on various wedding vendors.

Venues will regularly update their Preferred Vendor List with the best vendors they have worked with at the venue. They have seen more Entertainers, Photographers, and Videographers than any one member of your family or friends. With this list, your venue is putting their reputation on the line, so they will not be recommending a mediocre vendor. Sometimes getting the review from an actual wedding professional can give added insight on the vendor. Venues can be more honest about their experiences with a vendor since they work closely during events.

Make Planning Easier

Listen to the professionals who have personally seen specific service vendors in action. Venues offer a list of Preferred Vendors, for a reason. They want your event to be a success!

Your venue knows what works and what does not work for their site, and so do their preferred vendors. They also know what vendors will be able to execute their industry service skillfully and professionally at your venue. Preferred vendors have completed events at that venue quite a few times and are most aware of the setup needed and how to successfully get your guests to have a great time.

Once you receive your Vendor List, still do your research, but keep in mind that recommendations do not come to those who don’t put in the work to receive such a compliment. You’ve done the work in selecting the venue, now it is time to take the vendor recommendations to help with further planning!
