So I met with 2 different vendors and I can't pick which one to hire. 1 vendor is a newer company who is charging less of a fee but giving me more. The second is a little more established but charging a little more and is giving me less
The problem is I don't know which to choose. I left each each meeting feeling great that they will do their jobs and do them well.
Which one would you choose?? Newer company - less money and giving you more OR A little more established company- has more experience a little more money but giving less

Which vendor is this for? Photo, video, DJ, flowers?
It should come down to who you feel the most comfortable with. Are there reviews out there for the newer company?
It felt comfortable with both that's the problem! There is one review for he newer company on wedding wire 5 out of 5 stars

Help !!!! Dilemma!
I faced this dilemma with a lot of my choices! It is sooo comforting to go with a big name established company, because it makes you feel secure in the choice. But it is also nice to go with a smaller/newer company because you tend to get better prices and more attention. In then end we decided to book with a lot of lesser known/newer name vendors. It helped us stay on budget and assured us we wouldn't be 'little fish' to them. Also in the Wedding industry having a Big Name doesn't always equal doing the best work! If it is a very new vendor, and there aren't a lot of online reviews you can ask them to talk some other recent clients, I found it helpful to talk to past brides directly (asked vendor to give them my email) and this way I could get a recommendation/warnings right from them before I made my decision. Hope that Helps!

I would honestly go with the more established one for this. You want someone who is seasoned and has seen EVERYTHING.

This! I'm sure the other company is great but I would go with someone who is more established cause they have seen and been involved with a lot more than the newer company.

This is how I felt before booking Jay Lim for photo! I literally couldnt find many reviews and was so hesitant. As soon as I went to his studio and fell in love with his work and saw how many meetings he had that day I was sold! Also now that I booked him back in December i have found SOOO many Jay Lim brides. I think he is really up and coming and I found him before he sky rockets his prices

Ask to speak with former clients for each of them, especially the new one. Lots of older companies just rest on their reputations, while a new company will go out of their way to make it perfect because they need the good reviews! DOC are almost all word of mouth, so I bet the new company will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy.

Look at their picture books and choose the photographer whose pictures you like best. The books are essentially their 'resume'. Also, consider how you hit it off when speaking to them. There has to be a good vibe between you.
