Or 'insomnia' Wednesday for me! This vacation is screwing me up- I woke up an hour ago and can't fall asleep. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't complain about being on vacation
Today's question has 2 parts....
What was/is your easiest vendor to book, and why?
What was you/is hardest vendor to book, and why?
If you haven't booked many vendors yet, let us know what you think will be easy/hard for you!

The easiest for us ended up being photographer! It was the one vendor we knew we were willing to spend a little extra on because 1. after it's over, the pictures are what live on and 2 my mom is a photographer so she wanted to be comfortable with who we booked.
When we met Rich and Mindi, we just loved their work and got a really good vibe from them as people...and it was really great to actually meet with the photographers and not a sales rep! It was just a good fit.
Hardest is either going to be transportation or accommodations. Transportation bc we got recommendations from friends about one company but have heard negative things on here, and we are looking to possibly get a trolley but the companies that have them don't have many reviews to go by!
Accommodations because the options are slim around our venue, and the nicest hotel is a good 20 min away! yikes!
They really need more hotels in Suffolk on the south shore. We have the same problem!!!

All of my vendors have been pretty easy so for. i am almost done with all my vendors the only vendor I have left is the florist. If I had to choose the hardest vendor that would have to be the hall because there are so many to choose from and I am on a budget the hall had to meet that budget.

YES! I totally agree!! The closest ones are by the airport which makes sense, but there really should be some on the south shore in that area!

Easiest thing to book was the hall. It was the third one we looked at and when I walked in, I knew it was the one.
Hardest thing to book was our date. We originally wanted to get married at the the church on our college's campus. It took the events office over a month to get back to us and when they did they gave us one date and told us that our ceremony would have to start at 4pm (on a Friday). After all that, we decided to go elsewhere but the waiting process was annoying.

My RH was easy bc we fell in love almost instantly. I cant wait to party it up there in 14+ months!
What was you/is hardest vendor to book, and why?
Working on Photo right now and I am indecisive. I am never indecisive and it is making me go grey!
and now that I think of it, finding a Rabbi to marry us has been the worst part!! It's like there are very few available, and those who are available charge SO much money!

Easiest (and only one booked so far) was RH, we knew we wanted to do something really different and a destination wedding for our family is out of the question. FH lovvvvesss aquariums so as soon as we found out we could actually have our wedding at Atlantis we knew that was it.
I think the hardest will be the DJ. For us that's the most important part of the wedding. I'm so particular about the music it's hard for me to trust someone to handle it for us. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not a DJ and an iPod playlist, no matter how perfect and amazing it may be, is a BAD idea lol

The hardest vendor was the room block and the easiest was the RH. When I walked into Crest Hollow I completely fell in love. I thought that we were going to have to go to a million and one places. Who knew I would fall in love with the 2nd one!

Easiest would be out DJ. We knew from the moment we met him he was our guy. Also i wasnt able to find one review under a 4.9 for him online and he has like 8 million reviews
Hardest would be the RH. We were really hoping to get a Barn to go along with our Southern Vintage theme... but that turned out impossible to find so we had to turn to a regular hall. Its REALLY hard to find a hall thats not covered in marble and mirrors and stuff. Thats why we went with the Riviera. Although its a catering hall it has that rustic feel and the high barn like ceelings which i love!

Pretty much all my vendors were easy to book because I used this site to gain alot of information before I made appointments. RH was probably the easiest because I instantly fell in love. The hardest probably had to be flowers because it was about hunting down a good price. I honestly feel like the officiant is going to be the hardest in the long run.

The easiest was definitely photographer. I have a background in that dept and was super picky, but able to find exactly what I wanted. FH loves THOMAS PAUL too. We all hit it off. I trust that he is going to capture magical pictures for our special day!
The hardest so far was the RH... These F'ers, the Banquet Managers, make you negoiate your a$$ off to get a good price. For us paying for everything ourselves, that's a REAL HASSLE. Also so difficult bc if you're not having a wedding of 150, your room options are limited EVERYWHERE. Again, all about the money. Def the most stressful bc we don't have family picking up the tab. Also, its the MOST impt decision.
