Where did you find your wedding vendors? Bridal show? TK? etc...
A lot of mine I knew I wanted for a while. Our bakery is like the only one in town but definitely the best. We already have our cake ordered and paid for in full (bonus it's right across the street from our reception venue). My sister was a waitress at our reception venue and said the receptions always looked beautiful. There's one reception hall in our town that EVERYONE uses and every reception looks the same. My florist did my cousin's wedding 2 years ago and my grandpa's funeral this past September. They do beautiful work and my FI always gets me flowers from there because he knows it's my favorite
I found a DJ in the bridal show I modeled in but then we changed our date and he wasn't available. One of my guy friends who's opinion I highly trust recommended one to me because he'd seen like all of the DJs in our area working at the country club (before it shut down
that was going to be our reception venue) I'm really happy with him so far (he's also getting married this fall at the same church as us so he was able to tell me a little about the pre cana classes). That's all the vendors I can think of but I'm sure ya'll will remind me of more
