Vendor Selection & Management
After developing the complete plan
for your wedding, we bring all of the elements together as we help
you finalize important wedding decisions for your vendors and venues while
managing the wedding process. It’s our job to facilitate timely
decision making and implementation, helping you to stay on track with every
detail.
It is
important to interview carefully and select the best vendors and venues for
your event based on your budget and priorities. We have worked with many of
the best vendors in the industry and use our resources and information to
help you find the best vendors at the best price.
We will
assist you by identifying, screening and recommending vendors for these
functions that match the vision you have created, set up interviews with
them, help you with the final decision and assist with negotiating the best
contract possible with them. In addition, we will review the contracts you
have with the venues and vendors you have already selected so that we can
manage them effectively.
During the
planning and process management phase we work with you and each vendor
selected to make final decisions on every outstanding wedding detail. This
includes but is not limited to:
Liaise between ceremony site and wedding family as needed; verify all site
limitations and requirements are met; communicate requirements to all
vendors involved; manage all site details.
