2018-05-10

Planning the perfect wedding is by no means an easy task. From the venue to the menu, one will require substantial assistance from various wedding vendors. In making your dream a reality, listed below are five tips to consider when searching for ideal wedding vendors.

Do your research

As tedious as it may sound, it is important to know the services that the particular wedding vendor provides. Not only will you be able to shortlist the vendors, their portfolios will give you an inkling of what to expect (for both their service and the budget range). Researching on the vendors will also allow you to better discuss the details of wedding planning.

Narrow down your options

Once you have done your research, narrow your options down to the top three or five vendors that you would like to work with for each service. Target each email specifically to each vendor for effectiveness. This way, the vendor will know that you’re genuinely interested in their services which might encourage a faster response.

Include the details

To facilitate a quicker process and to encourage an informative reply, include as much details about your wedding as you possibly can. Some important and necessary details to include are the date and time of the ceremony/banquet, budget, theme if any and if relevant to the vendor, the number of guests and venue.

These details help the vendor have a better idea on what you’re looking for and be better able to cater to your needs.

Plan your time

It’s important to know how long in advance you need to reach out to your desired vendor. While two years may be a little too early to bring your wedding to the vendors’ attention, you may wish to start reaching out to them a year in advance.

Be patient

Especially so during the wedding season, do expect to give the wedding vendors more than just a day or two to get back to your enquiry. It is recommended to give the vendors at least a week before following up on your request.

With effective communication and understanding, most wedding vendors will be more than glad to help realise the wedding of your dreams. Do therefore try to establish a friendly relationship from the get-go, to ensure a smoother wedding planning journey.
