Earlier this week, we chatted about some of the differences between pro-wedding vendors and the hustlers. There are so many amazing, amazing vendors here in Kansas City! And more often not they are the best in their creative and styling field. Their vision and personality is right in line with yours, their artistry above and beyond, and you feel like they just “get” you. But here in part 2, we want to highlight what makes a wedding vendor not just a good wedding vendor, but a 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 wedding vendor ⁣
⁣
💍 They understand the value in great communication. They’re quick in their responses, accurate in the information they provide, and go above & beyond to provide their knowledge as a resource. There’s a general belief that if you aren’t over-communicating, you’re not communicating⁣
⁣
💍 They want to help you understand, not leave you with more questions. Pro wedding vendors not only respond quickly (in perspective— we’re talking 48 hours business-day versus an entire week), but they answer your questions in it’s entirety— what you asked, and what you didn’t ask. They help to eliminate frustrating back and forth by asking in-depth learning questions, knowing what you need often without you even asking ⁣
⁣
💍 They have a well-defined contract and process, and can clearly explain to you what your working process together will look like. Part of the benefit to hiring a pro-vendor is that they know 𝘌𝘟𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘓𝘠 how to protect both you the client and them the business, and can outline just what your working roadmap together will look like. ⁣
⁣
💍 They’re well connected and knowledgeable about the local industry. Want to know the fastest way to tell a pro wedding vendor versus not? They’ll refuse to gossip or speak ill about other industry partners with you. 👏⁣
⁣
⁣
Curious if the vendor you’re considering is a pro or not? That’s what we’re here for babe! 😘⁣
⁣
Tag your favorite pro wedding vendors below and show them how 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗳𝘂𝗹 we are for them!

I never just wanted to build a business. I wanted to build a 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬. A safe place where couples can find honest answers, where love can be celebrated, and where our knowledge can be shared so you feel less alone through the wedding planning process. ⁣
⁣
I wanted to build this community on three core pillars—⁣
𝘌𝘋𝘜𝘊𝘈𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 | 𝘌𝘔𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛 | 𝘌𝘟𝘗𝘌𝘙𝘐𝘌𝘕𝘊𝘌 ⁣
⁣
From the start, I knew I wanted to lead the industry in education for couples + vendors alike, to empower couples to plan a wedding that told their unique love story, and to provide an experience where they felt comfortable being open and honest with their wedding day sidekick 💁🏻‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
So to see one of those pillars celebrated and recognized? Y’all...I CRY 😭 Ready for the big announcement?! ⁣

There is so much information (and misinformation!) all over the internet for how to plan a wedding. It’s no wonder weddings are considered stressful and overwhelming 😩⁣
⁣
⁣
We want you to smile on your wedding day, just like N + M! So here’s a few tips on how to best protect your time, investment, and 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 when looking at wedding vendors⁣
⁣
⁣
𝘈 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳: ⁣
✅ An 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (a solid looking website + blog, social medias, guest blogs on other sites, reviews on respected planning sites, etc). Google is your friend here!⁣
⁣
✅ Ability to show 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: business license, EIN, insurance certificates, and any necessary documentation for category specifics (food handlers license and liquor license.) ⁣
⁣
✅ They’re 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 in the wedding industry, and 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 to other area vendors. We’re a social bunch and 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌 to get to know each other! Your pro vendors make networking a huge part of their business, so vendor referral is a great check-in point for any vendors you’re considering. ⁣
⁣
✅ They 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 to you! (𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘺’𝘢𝘭𝘭). Professional vendors not only listen to you and answer any questions asked of them, they’ll offer insight in to what you should expect from them, they’re working process, and set a good road map for your time together. They know what questions to ask and how to guide you through their category of the wedding planning process ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘴:⁣
❌ Poor Communication ⁣
❌ No online presence⁣
❌ “Too good to be true” pricing ⁣
❌ No “real wedding” examples of their work (𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘳— 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵!) ⁣
❌ That bad 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦!) ⁣
