Planning a wedding is a team sport - you can't do it alone! How many vendors are you hiring to make your wedding day vision come to life? How many vendors in your vendor team?? (Psst! Curious how you stack up? The average couple hires 13 vendors!!) Photo by Karina Jensen Photography in Punta Cana...

    Photographer, linens, florist, mua, hairstylist, reception venue, church, baker, DJ. That's what I'm having so far. We may include a videographer if we can fit it in the budget.

    Venue (ceremony&reception in same room), caterer, hair and makeup. So 3 for us?
    Flowers are fake from michaels craft store because they have exact color options and we are paying for everything ourselves.
    Caterer is doing our 1 tier cake and cupcakes as well as food.
    Hair and makeup is getting done by the same ladies!

    Venue (the restaurant comes with an event manager), florist, DJ, photographer (2), MUA, hair stylist. Our two friends are marrying us, so we don't consider them vendors. Do I count a seamstress for my dress? And our friend who designed the save the dates and will be designing the invites and menus? Also, FH's cousin may be driving us around in his car ('57 Ford I think) for our first look locations.
