DO WE HAVE TO USE YOUR SUPPLIERS?
Good question! And an important one.
At The Stone Cellar, we believe your wedding should reflect you.
Some venues require couples to use in-house or preferred suppliers and even charge penalties for choosing otherwise. That’s not how we do things.
But what about catering? We’ve got you covered. While you’re welcome to bring in some elements (like dessert extras), our catering is exclusive to ensure the highest quality and seamless service.
We have a list of preferred suppliers, but it’s just that – preferred, not mandatory. These are professionals we’ve worked with before, who consistently deliver exceptional service, high-quality products, and a great attitude. They know our venue inside and out, making for a seamless experience.
Want to use them? Great!
Prefer to bring in your own team? Also great!
We want you to have complete freedom over your wedding choices, without any unexpected costs or restrictions.
PROS OF USING OUR PREFERRED SUPPLIERS
✅ They Know the Venue Inside & Out – No need for lengthy explanations or trial runs. They already understand our setup, logistics, and best practices.
✅ Proven Reliability & Quality – We’ve seen them in action! You won’t be gambling on service or professionalism.
✅ Seamless Coordination – Because they’ve worked here before, they already know how to collaborate with our team and other suppliers, reducing stress on the day.
✅ No Hidden Fees or Surprise Costs – Some venues charge extra for using outside suppliers – we don’t. But with our preferred vendors, you’ll also avoid unexpected service fees or last-minute price hikes.
✅ Time-Saving – Wedding planning is a lot. Choosing from our trusted network means less research, fewer unknowns, and more time to focus on the fun stuff.
CONS OF USING OUR PREFERRED SUPPLIERS
✅ Limited Options – If you have a very specific vision or a supplier in mind, our preferred list might not align exactly with what you’re looking for.
✅ May Not Fit Your Budget – While our suppliers offer excellent value, their pricing may not always match your specific budget requirements.
✅ Creative Style – Every vendor has their own signature style. If you’re after something very unique, you may prefer to bring in a supplier whose aesthetic matches yours 100%.
AT THE END OF THE DAY – IT’S YOUR CHOICE
There are zero penalties for bringing in your own suppliers. Whether you choose from our trusted list or go with your own dream team, we’re here to support your vision every step of the way.
