Working With Wedding Professionals Oakland CA

No Regrets:

Managing Your Wedding Pros

- Never put down a deposit without a signed contract in hand,and never sign a contract until you're confident it covers all relevant points.

- Wedding pros in one area can be great sources for recommendations in other areas (i.e., your caterer may know the perfect florist), but they may have a financial incentive to suggest one vendor over another. Always do your homework and check references thoroughly, regardless of who made the recommendation.

- You can't foresee every possible problem, but think about what could go wrong with each professional and ask what they'll do to prevent or respond to problems. For example, if the fuses blow at your backyard wedding, will the DJ have a back-up generator? If a hurricane prevents the tropical flowers from arriving, what will the florist use instead? Don't scare yourself with disaster dreams, but do troubleshoot as much as possible.
