Wedding Planning Decisions, This vs That with Kelly McWilliams

Wedding Decision: Venue Preferred Vendor List vs Finding Your Own

Kelly A McWilliams Season 3 Episode 4

I would LOVE a text from you!

When you got engaged one of the 1st things you did was start looking for a venue.  Chances Your venue also gave you a list of vendors they love or VENDORS LIMITED TO THOSE WHO ARE PAYING THEM.  But, don't tell anyone I told you that.  Just kidding, we encourage you to ask your venue how they vet their lists, most are transparent about it.
Anyway, just as you found your venue on your own, you can also find your vendors and creative partners on your own via online research, recommendations from friends and referrals from vendors you have booked.  There can be risk in this and there can also be reward and that is exactly why Jordan and I covered this hot and spicy topic of wedding planning.
