WORKING WITH VENDORS

Who And What To Tip

From photographers to caterers, DJs to florists, a successful wedding hinges greatly on the vendors you choose and the relationship you cultivate with those professionals. Here are some ways to ensure a vendor experience that keeps all parties happy and expectations fulfilled.

Appreciate The Pros

For starters, appreciate and treat each vendor like a professional. Established vendors come with years of experience in their industry, plus the proven results that made you seek out their services in the first place. Respect their expertise and skill. Listen to them and trust that a good vendor will always have your best interest at heart.

Act Like A Pro

Remember that you get what you give, so it always pays to act like a professional yourself. At your initial meeting with a vendor, be on time and make a good first impression. Once hired, make payments in a timely manner. Stay on top of communication, but be reasonable with your expectations in how that vendor communicates back. They may have dozens of events to tackle before your big day, so understand that you can’t be the center of their universe.

Help Them Help You

Before your initial meeting with a vendor, thoroughly read through their website, view their portfolio, and check out any testimonials so you have a full understanding of their offerings up front. Come to that meeting with ideas and a vision, or at least be prepared to explain what you don’t want. Even the best vendors aren’t mind readers, so help them help you.
