Rescheduling vendors due to covid

I was super lucky and all my vendors were available. This only happened because we picked a Sunday as out new date. What I did was make a priority list mine looked like this:

Venue/Caterer

Wedding Planner

Officiant

DJ

Make-Up

Hair

Photographer

Flowers, Lights, Decor (these I really didn't care about)

The top 4 were my most important to me. I made sure my new date worked with all of them first and then contacted the others.

I tried hard to keep all of them the only one I lost was my DJ which I was sad about but I was luckily able to find someone quickly

I kept all of mine, but I did postpone a year. Most were not booked then and were willing to work with me and just kept the deposits. There was not a change fee.

I have gotten extremely lucky – so far all of my vendors except my venue and cake lady have responded to me with nothing but kindness and support ❤️ I am still waiting on those two final vendors, but I am quite sure both of them are closed at the moment- a hotel and a bakery. So hopefully they will get back to me whenever they reopen & will be as amazing as the other vendors have been! Especially the venue!! I can always find another bakery, but I definitely need my venue! The company that created our invitations is willing to reprint them for free with the new date on them, but I am being held up by the lack of response from the venue. Before we print them, we need to make 100% sure the wedding will still be at the same location 🤞🏻🤞🏻

The most important for me were the venue/catering and photographer, followed by the videographer (partially because it was a larger deposit). We were unable to find a date that worked with them and our officiant, but we are having a small ceremony on our original date so will not need them to officiate for our postponed wedding. I still have to contact our florist and wedding cake vendor, but I don't think they will have an issue with us moving our date.
