𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝑼𝒑! 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒓...💍✨
One of my clients recently got scammed by a vendor who took their money, lied and ghosted. It’s heartbreaking—and honestly, it’s not their fault. Most vendors are amazing, but unfortunately, bad business *does* exist. 😔 Here are some tips to help protect you and make the planning process smoother:
𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌:
Yes, it’s totally okay to be a little nosy! Check out their social media, dive into reviews, and don’t be afraid to ask for a portfolio or referrals. If something feels off or there’s a lack of real feedback, trust your gut. A strong online presence and client reviews can give you peace of mind. But don’t stop there—schedule an in-person or Zoom meeting to really get a feel for your vendor. Trust is key, and sometimes you just need a face-to-face (or screen-to-screen!) conversation to know if they’re the right fit.
𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈:
Contracts can be full of legal talk, but they’re SO important. Make sure you’re clear on what’s included, what’s not, and what happens if things change. Cancellation policies and refundable deposits? Pay close attention to those, too. It’s all about protecting your investment!
𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔:
Your vendor team only wants the best for you. We work with vendors we trust, know well, and have experience with. So if we recommend someone, it’s because we’ve seen them deliver time and time again. You can trust that they’ll bring their A-game for your big day!
At the end of the day, it’s your first time (and hopefully only time!) planning a wedding—so don’t feel bad if you don’t know all the ins and outs. That’s why we’re here to help! Most businesses are incredible, but always do your research and make sure you’re working with the best.😊
Have any tips for picking great vendors?
