Kelsey and Grace break down everything you need to know about the vendor booking process, from establishing your budget to selecting the perfect team for your wedding day.

• Setting your budget and finalizing your guest list before booking any vendors
• Priority checklist for booking: venue first, followed by catering, photography, videography, planner, DJ, florals, and attire
• Secondary priority vendors: beauty services, cake, stationery, transportation, and officiant
• Create a comprehensive spreadsheet to track vendor details, payment schedules, and contract terms
• Read contracts thoroughly, paying attention to cancellation policies, change limitations, and rescheduling fees
• Interview your vendors and ensure your personalities click before booking
• Consider trending additions like live painters, mobile charcuterie carts, or late-night food stations if budget allows
• Get a videographer - it's worth the investment for capturing your special day
• Ask for referrals and thoroughly research reviews when selecting vendors
