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...

    We’re skipping a lot of the “traditional” vendors so we don’t spend an enormous amount of money we don’t have. Right now, it’s the reception spot/catering, photographer, DJ, and hopefully Ben and Jerry’s for ice cream catering!

    6. Photographer, dj, caterer, venue, florist, and hair stylist. My sister is making our cupcakes so we don't need a bakery and my fiance's cousin is officiating. The ceremony and reception are in the same place and my dad will be driving me over in his 61 firebird. 😎

    We have hired 5. so far. I cant think of any more hired vendors we need. But that only includes companies. Not the hired help for bartenders and clean up. so 5 vendors and 4 independents.
