As someone who has worked in the wedding industry with reputable planners, vendors and venues for over ten years, I am often surprised by how the outside world views us. I hear again and again from people who are unfamiliar with our industry that we quote different rates for weddings than we do for other events and even charge more for weddings.

When planning your wedding there are so many factors, details and decisions to make throughout the process. It's all too easy to become overwhelmed! One of the questions I almost always hear is how to choose the right wedding vendors.

Nowadays, it isn't enough to just see someone's work online. You have to really investigate and interview your vendors.

The bottom line is, there isn't an App for everything. Some things will always require human interaction to achieve the best results. One of those things is assembling a team of vendors for your wedding day, starting with your wedding planner.
