7 Vendor Questions Every Bride Should Ask Before Booking

When it comes to planning your wedding, your vendors are the dream team that turns Pinterest boards into reality. But not all vendors are created equal—and the last thing you want is to find that out on your wedding day.

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

Here are 7 questions every bride should ask before signing on the dotted line. These aren’t just smart—they’re sanity-saving.

1. “How many weddings have you done?”

Why it matters: Experience counts. A seasoned vendor knows how to handle hiccups, adapt to surprises, and deliver under pressure.
Red flag: If they’re just getting started and don’t have reviews, ask for references—or politely keep scrolling.

2. “Can I see photos or videos of your recent work?”

Why it matters: A good portfolio tells the truth. You’ll get a feel for their style, quality, and consistency.
Pro Tip: Look for variety! Consistency across venues and conditions shows true professionalism.

3. “What’s your backup plan if you can’t make it?”

Why it matters: Emergencies happen. Pros have a Plan B (and C) ready.
Red flag: “Uhh… I’ll try to find someone.” Nope. Not good enough for your once-in-a-lifetime day.

4. “What’s included in your package?”

Why it matters: No one likes surprise fees. Get clear on what’s included—set hours, travel, gear, setup time, etc.
Pro Tip: Ask what most couples add on to their package—those are often things you’ll end up wanting too.

5. “How do you work with other vendors on the day of?”

Why it matters: Your DJ, planner, photographer, and caterer all need to flow together.
Green flag: Vendors who mention collaboration, timelines, and team effort. That’s how magic happens.

6. “What’s your cancellation or reschedule policy?”

Why it matters: Life throws curveballs. Make sure you understand your options if plans change.
Pro Tip: If they don’t have a contract or it feels vague—walk away.

7. “What sets you apart from others in your industry?”

Why it matters: This question reveals confidence, passion, and what they really bring to the table.
Bonus: Their answer will help you decide who truly aligns with your vibe.
