Two decades doing wedding florals at six hundred weddings, watching photographers, planners, caterers, and DJs do their jobs alongside me. The decisions that worked. The ones that did not. The questions to ask before you sign anything.
The questions that separate the photographer who delivers from the one who looks good on Instagram. Eight specific things to ask, what to listen for in the answer, and what is not on the list and why.
Read the guideThe order vendors should be booked in, and how far in advance. The order matters because each vendor's choices depend on the choices of the vendor that came before. Eleven categories with timing windows.

Twenty years of working alongside wedding photographers, planners, caterers, and venue coordinators at six hundred weddings. We tell you what we saw, including the parts vendors will not say themselves.
We earn commission on some links. The commission does not change which vendors we recommend, and we say so when a recommendation runs counter to what would pay us more.
