Your wedding day is going to be one of the best days of your life! But it can also be the most stressful! (If you let it.) Once you’ve got your venue locked down and an official wedding date, now it’s time to tackle wedding vendors!

You’ve got your main players in the wedding vendor game, which include: your wedding planners, photographers, music and entertainment people (ahem - wedding DJ’s ;), catering, and bar service. And in this episode, we are covering all the need-to-know things for each of these vendors.

We talk about: 

• Need to have vendors vs nice to have vendors (Spoiler alert! There is no need to have but there is a difference in the experience)  
• The difference between a wedding planner, a wedding coordinator, and a DIY wedding
• The most important thing to think about when choosing a wedding photographer
• The difference between having a live band, a DJ, and an MC
• Some unique things about catering and bar services that you may have never thought of
• What percentages of your wedding budget should go towards which vendors
• All the questions you should ask each one of your vendors before you commit!
• And how to get creative with your vendor selection

This episode is jam-packed with all our best tips when it comes to choosing your wedding vendors! But don’t sleep on Episode 003 which is part 2 of the wedding vendor conversation where we are going to talk about officiates, videographers, florists, bakers, and some other unique vendor options.
