Vendors/venues only taking checks for payment??

Nowadays, it depends on the business whether whether they take checks or Zelle or cash app. I paid using a check for all my vendors except my makeup artist and limo. The reason that I did it way (paying by check) is because the bank will have a record of me paying my vendors and if anything comes of it that I didn’t pay I can go to the bank. In a since it is covering themselves and you. They want to make sure that the money is there. When you use Zelle or cash app anything can go wrong electronically and there is no guarantee that they will get it. In some case a paper trail is a good thing. As for my makeup artist and limo I used PayPal bc that is how the vendors set it up but I also have it set up with my bank to notify me of my transactions among other things. You have to make sure that the money is there.

Paper records. Zelle is being investigated for lost money. Anything $10k or more should be by way of check to protect both of you, and you can hand deliver if you cannot be on schedule.

Cash apps typically go awry and have fraudulent charges associated with them that are not as prevalent with paper records that protect both of you. Also, there are no fees for the vendors when dealing with “archaic” checks as opposed to modern technology.

Hi Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and wow mine took either or it didn't matter as long payment was made and then I was emailed receipt or got it in person. But it it's in checks then you have a paper trail of pf payments so they can't say that you missed any.

Oh man, count yourself lucky that you get to pay by check. We were forced to bring our final payments in CASH which meant carrying $10k on us into Mexico. I was SO uncomfortable and absolutely hated it.
