Frequently asked questions
How do you choose your wedding vendors?
Ask for at least 3 quotes per category, check portfolios and recent reviews, meet vendors in person, ask for references from previous couples and read contracts carefully before signing. Booking early (12-18 months ahead) gives you the best options.
Which vendors are essential for a wedding?
The essential vendors are: a venue for the ceremony and reception, catering, a photographer/videographer, flowers and decorations, the dress and styling, and music for the ceremony and reception. Optional but recommended: a wedding planner, hair and makeup, a wedding cake designer.
When should you book your wedding vendors?
Book the photographer and venue 12-18 months ahead for the most popular dates (in Europe, May to October). Catering, flowers and music 9-12 months ahead. A wedding planner ideally as soon as you set the date. The wedding dress 9-12 months ahead to allow for production time.
