Choosing your wedding vendors can be an overwhelming task.  If you have hired a reputable wedding planner, you can breathe a little easier, because they've already done the legwork for you, know the behind-the-scenes industry details and can make recommendations based on your specific needs and personality.

That said, reality dictates that not everyone is in a position to hire a full-service wedding planner.  While wedding planning is my full time job and it pays my bills, I am not going to sit here and tell you to go into debt to hire a consultant.

The best way to spend your budget, no matter if it is $60 for a courthouse wedding or six-figures for a lavish affair, is to hire professionals who will do a quality job and deliver the services and products promised.

With that in mind, I've put together a Wedding Vendor Hiring Guide, which I'll be sharing with you as a blog series over the coming days.  I'll give you questions to ask vendors to help determine if they are right for you, and some tips and advice on decoding some of the wedding jargon you'll run into during your engagement. 

Why am I doing this? Because you deserve a great wedding, regardless of your budget and regardless of whether or not you hire my company to help you in your planning process.  Also, and any wedding professional can attest to this, some of the "1087 Intrusive Questions You MUST Ask Your Vendors" lists floating around on wedding sites and in bridal magazines are just downright ridiculous.  I want to give you some insight into what professional wedding planners ask when they interview vendors for their clients so that you and your fiance can make an educated decision when it comes to who you hire for your wedding day.

The Wedding Vendor Hiring Guide debuts tomorrow so be sure you're subscribed to get our blog updates in a reader or via email so that you don't miss a thing!
