Dear wedding planners and event pros — I know you. You’re the calm in the chaos. The keeper of timelines. And, the one who is making sure the couple’s grandmother has her favorite tea and that the groom’s bowtie is straight before he walks down the aisle. You’re so client-focused that you’ve probably skipped a few meals yourself on wedding days (don’t make me call you out on those uncrustables stashed in your apron).
Your Vendor Team is Counting on You
While you’re making magic for your couple and their guests, there’s another group of people counting on you too, and that’s your vendor team. The vendor team may include:
- The photographers
- The videographers
- The DJ and/or the band
- The production team
They’re your partners, your collaborators, and your lifeline on wedding days. And, believe it or not, they cannot run on fumes. They also cannot eat when they are supposed to be working.
Serve the Vendors When the Couple is Served
When you work with the caterer to serve vendors as the couple is served (and, not after the entire guest list is served), you’re setting everyone up for success.
