Your wedding day has most likely been something you’ve dreamt about for years. You want it to be absolutely perfect, don’t you? A large portion of making your dream wedding day vision come to life is having a trusty team of vendors you can rely on. However, for most brides, that can seem easier said than done. With so many wedding vendors in the Wilmington, NC, and greater Eastern Carolina area to choose from, it can be stressful to decide which vendor is perfect for you. 

Here at Brittanie Raquel Events, we have been in the wedding and event planning industry for over ten years. Having worked with countless vendors over the years, we’ve gone through the legwork for you to determine what makes the best vendor team. Planning your wedding should be a beautiful process, not one that you dread. We’ve put our wedding and event planning expertise together to give you tips on how to pick the right vendor team for your wedding.

Tip #1 on How to Pick the Right Vendor Team for Your Wedding: Trust Your Vendors

The best thing you can do is to trust your wedding planners recommendations. We’ve been through this process and have experienced all ends of the spectrum. By having a wedding planner, we are here to help guide you and create your wedding vision. Trust the relationship you’ve built with your wedding planner and their recommendations on finding the right vendor team. We would never recommend a vendor team that we haven’t worked with. All of the vendors we partner with have a high standard of quality service that they provide to their clientele, and we have built a strong relationship together.

Tip #2 on How to Pick the Right Vendor Team for Your Wedding: Choose Professional Vendors 

A lot of the brides and couples we work with as Wilmington, NC wedding planners, have suggestions of family members or friends to use as a vendor. It is always great to have these connections and insights into the industry. However, tread lightly mixing business with pleasure here. If you are using a friend as one of your vendors, make sure that they truly are attending as a guest and not a vendor on your wedding day. You don’t want to put your guests in an awkward situation on the day they are to be celebrating and supporting your next venture. Friends and family that become vendors on your wedding day can create an interesting dynamic for both you and them.

Tip #3 on How to Pick the Right Vendor Team for Your Wedding: Read Reviews and what past couples say about their experience.

Reviews and testimonials are so important when it comes to picking the right vendor team for your wedding. Other couple’s words and experiences with a vendor are powerful. Always trust the reviews that you read on their website, socials, and online. If you want to take this step even further, you can get in contact with couples who have worked with those vendors to get their first-hand experience. Trust the people who have gone through the wedding planning process working with those vendors. 

Picking the right vendor team for your wedding is a big decision that you should take with much consideration. With the right vendor team, you’ll be stress-free on your wedding day and have the wedding vision of your dreams. Happy wedding planning!
