SECRET #3
IT TAKES RESEARCH TO GET
THE BEST VENDORS FOR
YOUR WEDDING
This is probably the most difficult area
for most brides because it involves a lot of time and energy. The very best
avenues of finding the best vendors for your wedding can be divided into two
categories – 1) thru Bridal shows and 2)
thru word of mouth – recommendations from family and friends, as well as
vendors you have selected.
Let’s look at Bridal Shows. These events
can be large or small. There are benefits for both. But the fact is, you will
find some of the finest vendors at these shows because they have
demonstrated their eagerness to be at
your wedding, plus they have cleared many of the requirements to qualify to be
in the show. They have invested their marketing dollars to be there. They have
a vested interest in making sure you are happy.
Word of mouth is strong, too, but you are
still going to have to decide if they meet your expectations. And, you will
still need to interview them before booking them. You want to make sure your
personalities are a good match. Your best word of mouth referrals will come
from the vendors you have already booked. In most cases, they have seen these
vendors work on several occasions before.
While the internet and websites are
available for you to use in your planning, be very, very careful to not take
too much credence in what you see. Anyone or any business can create a pretty
website with all types of fancy flash and dash. Reviews seen on various
websites can be a good gauge of how each vendor performs. It is still important
for you to meet with the individuals you find on the internet.
