Ask the Planner: Finding Your Vendor A-Team

09.19.13

Q: As my full-service planner, how do you go about determining which vendors you will recommend I meet with? Do you get kickbacks from the vendors you recommend?

A: Our certified wedding planners have been doing this a long time. We are very involved in the DFW wedding industry and spend a great deal of time networking and getting to know the best vendors. We keep a database of vendors with lots of notes on our experience with them and each professional’s style, pricing/payment structure and personality, as well as details on their staffing, equipment and substitution policies. After talking with you about your wedding day vision and your budget, we start getting a sense of which vendors might be the best fit for you.

Networking with wedding vendors at various industry events

We do not take kickbacks from vendors. Ever. We believe this is an unscrupulous practice and strongly recommend you stay away from any vendors that participate in this business model. Our recommendations stand on our research of and experience with the vendors. We want you to contract with the trustworthy vendors that best suit your vision because in all honesty, it will make our job as planner/manager/director (etc!) easier if we have the right team in place for your event!

If you are interested in having our fun and creative wedding planners help you find the perfect vendors for your wedding day, contact us today for an initial consultation!
