Any vendors that you REALLY wanted, but could't have?

Because they were too expensive, were booked on your date, in-laws dissaproved, etc.? How did it work out?

I thought it might be an interesting topic

I really wanted The Original Faze 4 Band, but when I met with the owner (who's actually in the band too) and he told me the price, FH and I actually laughed. We went with another Faze 4 band (Sound Image) who I am SUPER excited about and I'm really happy we booked with them, but The Original was amazing and who I would have picked if I could.

They were booked on my day anyway in the end

Anyone have any vendors they wanted, but in the end couldn't?

My hall becuase I dont like that attitude my hall has because we arent doing the package because I went there because I liked ithe place it self not the price. Brentwood wound up upping the per person price anyway because we didnt go with the package. I should have just done a destination wedding in the caribbean.

The only thing I didn't get was my original RH, and it wasn't because it was too expensive, but because it would be about a 2 hour drive for my guests. In the end I'm totally fine with it because my current RH has totally exceeded all of my expectations and have actually been way better than the guy I met at the venue I wanted. So I'm a happy camper

I would have deff went with pennylane video. I also would have probably done my wedding on a saturday night instead of sunday day. But Either way I am soo excited. I actually wanted duet in the beg but they were booked on my date but I am actually really happy they were b.c I Love the photog sooo much and working with him is going to be sooo much fun!!

A band...any band but it was money we weren't willing to spend.

i would have loved to have pennylane do my video but just too expensive

also, probably would have went with the more expensive RH if we had more money

other than that, i have no regrets

Yup! This exactly!!

Although I love CHCC and I'm sure TP will do a wonderful job

I would have booked turn loose the art as my photographer, but they were too expensive for me

Would have booked a band too if I had the extra cash

1 ) I would have hired AJ Ingoglia for video but he was booked for our date.

2) I have ALWAYS wanted Russian Bottle Dancers to come in during the reception. Sadly, spending the extra $1,500 was something I've chosen not to do after MUCH deliberation. I have a feeling this will always bug me

I would have loved a band in general but it wasn't in the budget!

Would've loved to book with Benchwerk instead of who I went with. It's been almost 6 weeks and I haven't had any teasers at all. I'm dying over here!!!!!!!

also, I would've booked with pennylane for video. They're exactly who I wanted in the first place, but wayyyyy over my budget. We'd never be able to afford them.

Agreed on Bora Bora!! This was my first choice for honeymoon but it was just too much $$ for us right now.

This was the ONE thing I said I NEEDED (FH and I originally just wanted a DJ but my father INSISTED on a band)... so we splurged a little...... if I couldve splurged more I would've spent $10,000+ on Sherwood Triat--- but I am SOOOOOOOO happy I found Thomas Paul!!!!!
