How to Enquire with Wedding Vendors from The Beginning So You Don’t Get Ghosted.
Jan 09, 2024 Season 1 Episode 15
Melanie James & Tania Hall

We know a lot of couples get engaged over the Xmas and New Year holidays and with that, comes the start of planning your wedding. When you start planning your wedding, you’ll start getting in contact with vendors. 

And here’s the truth bomb. Ghosting is not just prevalent in the dating world, it’s also very common in the wedding industry. We're talking about couples ghosting vendors. And even vendors ghosting couples. We see both sides of this and why this happens. Sometimes it’s because of simple laziness. But most times it’s because couples are not contacting vendors the correct way, and when they do, they’re not providing vendors what they need to quote accurately.

In this episode of Cut The Cake we talk through how to proactively engage with your vendors from the beginning, so there’s no ghosting and you, the couple, essentially get an accurate quote. And us, the vendors, are essentially not wasting time with lots of back and forth with potential clients. So with all of that said, we have broken it down into 4 steps for couples on what you need to be telling your vendors from the get go, and how to communicate with them so everyone is happy.
