Here's our checklist to use as a guide when considering vendors as your plan your wedding!
Planner:
Let your wedding planner help with all the details for the day. This will relieve your stress as the planner can be the main contact between the other vendors. We highly suggest hiring a planner as they also help you with the scheduling process and ensure that everything is on time during the ceremony and reception.

Officiant:
They will make your marriage official and guide you through the ceremony with the perfect vows. You can make your ceremony even more unique with custom written vows or a tying of the knot, jumping the broom, or candle lighting custom.

Florist:
The florist works with your color scheme and puts together your bouquet, along with the bridal party flowers. Most times, they will also design the table decor and altar arrangement.

Photographer:
A MUST HAVE to capture every moment of your perfect day with still shots, posed and candid photos, so you can look back and relive every second. The photographer will also create a timeline for the flow of the photos, especially if you are wanting a reveal, grand reception entrance or exit.

Videographer:
The videographer carefully creates a film of your day with music, voiceover, or vow recordings. Don't overlook booking one as this may be the last time you have a recording of your friends and family together in one place!

Caterer:
Enjoying amazing food at your wedding is necessary, and your caterer will coordinate with you or the planner to make a menu that works for your reception. They may also be able to serve the food rather than the guests make their own plate.
