Vendor Shopping


It's your meeting / event or wedding day your getting ready for.  You have dreamed of this all your life.  Your not sure what to do first.  You want it all to be perfect.  Whether its for your clients, personal or for someone else.  You wondering around looking for what you want it to be like feel like.  Colors, linen, tables, chairs, guest book, invitations the list goes on and on. Your mind can no loner take the self abuse of the endless list of things to do.  What shall I do first.

Top 10 Things to do!

1. Budget


  • How much do you want to spend?
  • How much do you have to spend?
  • How much are you willing to go into debt for "your" day?
  • How do you plan to pay for it after "your" day has passed.
2. Hire a wedding planner or event planner?

The difference between the two is credentials, education and one only plans weddings the event planner is usually certificated to plan wedding, events and business meetings.  Bottom line they have to take and pass a more general test.  

3. Vendors should offer you.
  • Free consultation
  • Contract with information about what you are paying and what service
  • Time to sign the contract, stress free.
4. Make sure the vendor has references. Most will offer them if you ask.

5. Make sure they are licensed.

6. What will the vendor offer you if "God forbid" something should go wrong.

7. Ask the Vendor if they work with any particular vendor or can recommend someone.

8. Is the vendor insured?

9. Is the vendor willing to work with the other vendors you hire?

10. How much money do you have to place to hold the day?
  • Is the money refundable?
  • How do they expect to be paid? 
  • How much do you pay and when?
  • How long before the wedding do they expect to be paid? (MK Pure Diamond Events highly recommends you make the last payment on the day of your wedding.)  It guarantees they will show up. Things happen in life.
