Our preferred vendor list is a reflection of that mindset. It is not a popularity contest, and it is certainly not built on who brings us the most cupcakes (although, for the record, we never turn those down). It’s a carefully curated list of professionals who have shown us, through action, that they prioritize a seamless client experience, communicate clearly, and collaborate with us and other vendors well.

Of course, we appreciate when vendors are enthusiastic about joining our list! Who doesn’t love hearing, “We would love to work with you more?” But enthusiasm alone isn’t enough. We want to see reciprocity in action! Bring us a client who would love one of our venues. Support our team during an event. Refer us to others. Show us how you elevate not only your work, but the experience for everyone involved, especially the couple!

And let’s be honest. In this industry, there is no shortage of talent. The difference lies in how you show up. Do you lift up the team on event day? Do you help create solutions, not complications? Do you make the process enjoyable, not stressful? Those are the kind of professionals we want standing shoulder to shoulder with us at an event!
