Ask for Hidden Costs

After you’ve discussed the price the vendor will charge you, ask them specifically if there are any hidden costs. These can sometimes be added to the bill in the form of “charges” or “fees” you weren’t originally informed of. Have your vendor put the price in writing so they can be held to their end of the bargain.

Ask for Referrals

Before choosing just any wedding vendor, ask friends and family for referrals. When individuals have had a great experience with a vendor, they’re usually glad to recommend them. This allows you to get some inside information on the vendor as well as giving you confidence that you’ll be a happy customer.

Book in Advance

Perhaps one of the most important tips, it’s essential that you book the vendor well in advance. This gives them time to prepare for your wedding and ensures that they have a spot available at the right time. If you wait too long, you could end up missing the chance to get the vendor that you really want.
