Confirming Details With Your Wedding Vendors

It may seem as though your wedding planning efforts have consumed your waking hours for months and it’s probably true. As the final weeks before your wedding day approach, now is the time to hold pre-event meetings with your suppliers and venues. It is what our professional planners do and you should as well.

A pre-event meeting is something that all reputable suppliers do throughout the industry as a matter of course. Schedule meetings with every one of your suppliers. In person is best, if all are in the same local area.

The purpose of these meetings is to make sure that there are no surprises. Review your plans with florists, caterers, photographers, musicians etc. Confirm details. Take your planner or point person or personal attendant or whomever else you’ve enlisted for help with you. Make sure everyone hears the same information.

It is recommended that you hold the meetings two to four weeks prior to your wedding.
Remember that you are the client, and it is YOUR wedding day. You’ve been working on this for some time and it needs to be delivered in the way you planned. It is your vision for your wedding and you have hired these vendors to make that vision a reality. The pre- event meetings will serve as a double check that everything has been done and nothing has been overlooked. Ask any questions you may have. Leave none unasked. These meetings insure that planning and preparation come together to make your wedding day go smoothly and as planned.
