Booking a vendor without hesitation

Ladies I'm curious if you've ever booked any of your vendors without considering on checking or making appointments to see others.

It doesn't seem like its a smart idea but has anyone ever felt so strongly about a vendor and didn't want to look else where?

i always do research before....but the only vendors i met with and booked (without wasting time meeting with anyone else) was my MUA/hair person and the photobooth

other vendors that we knew we were going to book but still looked around were: limo, DJ, and video.

DJ, Limos, Photo/video

With the photo video we actually looked around before we met with PATKEN but as soon as we met with them we booked right then and there.

Our DJ, we loved them as soon as we sat down and had a private showcase... FH and i did not want to book on the spot but we liked them so much we knew we had to go with them

LIMOS... Blue Diamond was recommended to us by a family friend... but as soon as we met with the owner and saw the cars we booked right then and there!!!!

I shop around, but going with your gut is sometimes best.

Yes! Nearly all of my vendors - now I did do a lot of online leg work first.
But I just booked with who I felt the best about.

I felt that way about LoveMorePhoto & Couped Up. I had to book them kinda last minute... I had an issue with my original photog... and i knew immediately that Arek & Rob were perfect... and i was right

i have but i dont know if it really counts. my twin sister just got married this past 4th of july and we loved almost all her vendors, plus her hubby is a stellar negotiator so he got them great rates which most of the vendors have been willing to extend to us, so its been a breeze to sign contracts with them because we know they'll do a great job!

i did that for hair (Hairsculpting by Renee) and booked Pastor April 10 minutes after talking with her (though we talked to many people before her). When you know, you just know!
