Good or Bad Idea??? You Tell Me

Is it a bad idea to get a package deal for all your vendors, or choose each vendor seperately??? I know the packages are cheaper but I also know you pay for what you get. So what do you girls think? Good or Bad idea?????

Re: Good or Bad Idea??? You Tell Me

personally, i wouldnt feel too comfortable with it... but if they had a great reputation, and I felt comfortable and loved all the vendors in the package, then I would probably consider it...

I would check out and see who all the vendors are first. Maybe you would like them, but just be careful.

Re: Good or Bad Idea??? You Tell Me

Personally I think that I would have to pick out my vendors. I like meeting with all of them and pick out my favorites. I would be afraid with a package that there would be a problem.

Separately. More control and lee-way for you that way.

Bad idea to get a package deal w/everything. You're right you get what you pay for.

Re: Good or Bad Idea??? You Tell Me

I think it's important to meet with each vendor and make sure you like their work and their personality. With a package deal, you don't want to be stuck not clicking with some of the vendors. In my opnion, I'd have to say bad idea.

Re: Good or Bad Idea??? You Tell Me

I would be very wary about something like that. I feel much more comfortable researching the different vendors and then booking who I like the best. You can find vendors for every budget. However, if you don't have time to do the research and look around, and all the vendors in the package have a good reputation, then maybe thats the right choice for you.

I didn't know there was something like that! Is the package from the reception hall?
