Should you test your wedding vendors before the big day — or trust the portfolio and move forward?

In this episode, we kick off a structured debate on whether couples should try out photographers, videographers, hair, and makeup artists ahead of time.

We each present our opening statements and core arguments, breaking down:

• Experience vs. aesthetic

• Energy and personality compatibility

• Protecting your investment

• Confidence on camera

• Whether trials are essential… or unnecessary

This is Part 1 — where we lay the groundwork.
In Part 2, we challenge each other’s arguments and deliver our closing statements.

If you’re planning a wedding (or work in the industry), this conversation might shift how you think about booking your team.
