Create Your Dream Team
Creating Your Dream Wedding Team ✨
When it comes to planning your wedding, one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) steps is building your dream team of suppliers. After all, these are the people who will bring your vision to life and support you on one of the most important days of your life. With countless options out there, it’s completely normal to feel unsure about where to start. Do you really need both a videographer and a photographer? Should you book a DJ, a live band, or maybe both? How many hours should you lock your suppliers in for?
These are questions I hear all the time in consultations, and this is exactly why I guide my couples through a step-by-step process. Together, we break down every one of the 40+ supplier roles and decide whether it’s a need, a want, or a nice-to-have. This not only saves stress and second-guessing but ensures every decision made supports your wedding vision.
Why the Right Suppliers Matter
The key to a seamless and unforgettable wedding isn’t just choosing the most well-known vendors, but selecting the ones who align with you. It’s about creating a team that understands your style, connects with your personality, and complements the energy of your celebration.
Some of the most important relationships you’ll have on the day are with your celebrant, photographer, and videographer. These suppliers will spend hours with you in deeply personal moments—so it’s essential that you click. Feeling comfortable and at ease with them makes for authentic photos, natural video footage, and a ceremony that feels heartfelt and true to you.
And while budget is always part of the decision-making process, it’s important to remember that the cheapest option isn’t always the best fit. Sometimes investing in the supplier who understands you best will be worth far more than the dollars saved.
The Magic of a Cohesive Team
Whenever possible, select vendors who have worked together before. There’s an unspoken synergy when a team already knows each other’s rhythm. Photographers who know how a certain videographer works, or a DJ who has collaborated with your celebrant, all make for a smoother, more coordinated day. This cohesion reduces stress for everyone—and most importantly, ensures you can relax and simply enjoy the celebration.
The Risks of Cutting Corners
A supplier who fails to deliver what was promised doesn’t just cause disappointment—it can trigger a domino effect across the entire day. From delays in the timeline to missed moments, a single letdown can create stress and ripple through other areas of the wedding.
This is why supplier selection should go deeper than price tags. Reputation, referrals, and proven expertise matter. Reading reviews, leaning into professional recommendations, and trusting your planner’s insights all help safeguard your day against potential mishaps.
More Than Just Suppliers—Your Wedding Support System
Unlike many planners who simply hand over a vendor list, we take a holistic approach. We see ourselves as partners in your entire wedding journey—not just the big day itself. That’s why our support often extends beyond styling and logistics.
