Don’t just blast off emails to every wedding vendor you see and like or you will be extremely overwhelmed. Be selective! Here are some tips on how to find the best wedding pros for your wedding day.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Planning your big day can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but following these helpful tips will make the process smoother:
Use Your Resources: When searching for wedding vendors, don't solely rely on Google. Talk to friends who recently got married, consult with your venue or any vendors you've already booked, as they might have great recommendations. Reviews from other couples can also provide valuable insights into a vendor's reliability and service quality.
Check Their Work: Before reaching out to any vendors, thoroughly review their work by visiting their websites, blogs, and social media pages (like Facebook or Instagram). Pay attention to their activity and the type of weddings they have worked on in the past to see if their style aligns with your vision.
Narrow Down Your Choices: With so many options available, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Limit your inquiries to your top two or three vendors from your search to ensure you have enough time to communicate effectively with each one.
Craft Thoughtful Emails: When reaching out to vendors, try to personalize your initial email. Introduce yourself, explain why you're interested in their services, provide details like your wedding date, venue/location, and the specific services you're interested in. If someone recommended them, mention that too.
Respond to Vendors Promptly: If a vendor reaches out to you after your initial inquiry, it's essential to respond, even if you've already booked someone else or changed your mind. Polite communication is essential to avoid unnecessary follow-up emails.
Honesty is Key: Be honest with your vendors about your preferences and needs. They'll likely start with emails but may request a phone call or in-person meeting to better understand your vision for the wedding day and how they can best assist you.
