Weddings for Real had the opportunity to interview engaged couples at The Merrimon-Wynne House in Raleigh NC Bridal Showcase, so that vendors could have a better understanding of what couples are looking for.

We asked couples:

What's the first place you looked to find your wedding vendors?

Where do you get wedding inspiration?

What's your splurge for the wedding? And what do you not care so much about?

Do you need to see pricing on a vendor's website before contacting them?

What's surprised you the most about wedding planning?

Are you hiring a wedding planner?

Are you hiring a videographer?

Such insightful responses, and we would love for you to share your thoughts in our Weddings for Real Facebook Group!

Special thanks (and congratulations!) to all of the people interviewed:

Natasha and Ryan

Courtney

Megan

Kylie and Kevin

Elizabeth

Robert and Erin

Tricity

Katie and Paxton

Madison and Nate
