Help finding vendors

Hi,

I have recently gotten engaged and am planning for an October 2007 wedding.
I am from out of town and would need lots of help finding reasonably priced vendors (ie. DJs and Photographers).

Thanks!

Thanks. I guess because I don't know any of these vendors at all, I can't really gage it only on price.
Do you know any good photographers?

Check out the vendors list on this site... they have long lists for each of the categories... then i choose who to check out based on location (i was too lazy to drive super far . You can also search the brides review board and this entire sitght to see various opinions on these vendors... good luck!

a suggestions from this site i've seen some but u can search and see reviews on pretty much all!
photographers:
12th night
Duet
Right angle
velvet studios
golden moments films & photo
patken
creative compositions
angelica glass

djs:
tommy tunes
FM entertainment
dj bravura

florists;
check out designs by rose!! they work well via email - great work

drawing a blank on others!!

hth!

Thanks. That sounds like a good place to start!

I am using commack florist for my flowers.. I got such a great deal compared to what alot of these vendors are charging on li weddings... I would suggest to contact and meet wtih the vendors on craigslist for photography.. thats what I did for my vendors..

If you need any other info on good deals FM me.. I can help you out.. I am also on a limited budget. (have no parental support in this wedding for $$)

Thanks for the tip. I will try Craigslist.

Happy Holidays!

We just started by checking reviews on the vendors recommended by our hall, figuring that if they're recommended then it has to be a good place to start.

Honestly, all the major vendors we have booked so far have been on the hall's list.

The search function on these message boards is a great way to get feedback.

I can tell you who Im using, and Ill let you know Ive been doing my research and I found the best quality for the best $$ on each...
DJ- Vinny at high Voltage
Photographer- Thomas Paul Photography
Videographer- Timeless Treasures
Flowers- LA Blossom
Officiant- Pastor Mike
Makeup - Mia from *************
Hair- Mya

Umm...Im tying to remember the others, but Im drawing a blank. Any more info you can FM me.

Some my vendors are LIW vendors and I would highly recommend the following vendors I used:

- Photographers: Right Angle Studios
- Florist: Verbena Designs.

I suggest looking through the Bride Review board to get ideas and see what brides have to say about their vendors on their wedding day.

There is a difference between an initial hiring of someone and see them in action on your wedding day.

We used Vinny from High Volatge..his packages are extremely reasonable..and 12 Night Photography..excellent quality and many packages to choose from..
you've definitely come to the right place for information! Good luck

Duet seems to be a favorite on this board for photo/video. You can do a search on the different vendors. You may be get better feedback once you did some preliminary research first and then come on here and ask the LIW girls questions about their experiences.

The best advice I can give you is to go on the BRIDES REVIEW boards. This way you will see the experiences from brides who have used and completed the services with vendors. Many people also include pictures with their review so you can see some things like the photography and flowers. Also FM brides if you have any questions or need clarrification. I have heard some brides-to-be recommend vendors they have booked prior to their wedding, but seeing a satisfied customer after the wedding speaks volumes more because they used it and seen the product to completion. Good luck and happy planning!

ETA: Also while I surely understand to take into an account the price...my wedding was on an incredibly strict budget...price should not be the reason you book someone. Make sure you check out all vendors completely.

i KNOW ONE WHO DOES FAVORS AND INVITATIONS, VERY INEXSPENSIVE. SHE OFFERS A DISCOUNT TOO.

Thanks so much for the tips. That's the kind of info I was looking for!!!
