[QUOTE]Wedding planner: Google Dj venue: through the wedding planner Cake florist: recommendations on TK Judging by your SN and low post count, I hope you aren't a vendor. We run those out of town. With pitch forks.

I got alot from other vendors, believe it or not. The venue manager gave us good recommedations for the florist and DJ; the DJ gave us good recommendations for a place to have the engagement party and rehearsal dinner and that venue hooked us up with the cake baker. The florist hooked us up with a framer who gave us a great discount on a display for the reception. Everything else was reviewed by family.
My cousin is a professional photographer and he's paying for his team to fly into the US to do my wedding and his reviews were awesome so no worries there. FMIL's best friend's husband is a certified celebrant ordained in NY.
I think vendors were the best reviewers since they want your business and they know the people they work with on a regular basis.
Chapel: at the college FI works for
Officiant: recommended by the lady responsible for chapel bookings (officiant works at the college too)
Photographer: friends of FI's parents
Seamstress: recommended by another co-worker
My DJ, cake baker and flower supplier were all found through lots and lots of lengthy research and online recommendations. It kinda helped that there weren't many choices because of where we live.
We are using the photgrapher my cousin used. They gave us recs for a florist along with girls on my local board. I also found out about my DJ through my local board. My JOP was also the same guy my cousin used (my uncle works with him).
