In this great article from TheEveryLastDetail.com<\/a>, the author details the importance of having quality wedding vendors for your special day. She recalls her personal experience with cheap wedding vendors in the past and offers great insight.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back on my wedding planning experience, there\u2019s one thing that stands out in my mind more than anything. It\u2019s the fact that I was so concerned with \u201chow much\u201d, that I didn\u2019t even care- or think- about quality. Big mistake y\u2019all, big mistake. This resulted in hiring \u201ccheap\u201d wedding vendors, and in the end, we really didn\u2019t even cut any corners. We just ended up with issues on the day of, and regrets after the fact. So I wanted to share a little of my own experience, and why you don\u2019t want \u201ccheap\u201d wedding vendors.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s start off with the fact that yes- I had a cheap wedding photographer (and wedding planner too). But guess what? She was still kind of expensive. In fact, knowing the quality that I could have had for what I paid for her service and products kills me. What happened? She had a package that had more \u201cbang for your buck\u201d- or in other words, offered more *stuff* with her package. Since I didn\u2019t know any better, her lower price and \u201cbetter package\u201d beat out the photographers who had higher packages. Mind you, those other photographers were also offering a better quality of work and a better experience, and their packages didn\u2019t include a gazillion prints and an album. I was comparing vendors based on price, but in reality it was impossible to compare them accurately. Looking back now, it makes sense as to why they were more expensive. But I wasn\u2019t paying attention to the quality- I was paying attention to the price, and what I was going to get for that price.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m not saying to NOT pay attention to price and what you get for your money. But I am saying to pay some attention to quality too. Why? Because the quality of a wedding professional ends up having a significant effect on the outcome of your wedding.<\/p>\n

So what exactly is this \u201cquality\u201d that I speak of? The quality of a wedding vendor includes their experience, their knowledge, their customer service, the actual product and\/or service they provide, and even how they perform on the wedding day. That\u2019s a lot right? Well guess what? They\u2019re all things that you\u2019re going to notice throughout your time working with your vendors and on your wedding day- so you should care!<\/p>\n

With all of this said, I think we can all agree that it\u2019s human nature to look for the best deal out there. Unfortunately, that is the approach taken when it comes to hiring wedding vendors too. And I know- weddings are expensive. But trust me\u2026 you want to think back on your wedding experience and be happy about it, without any regrets.<\/p>\n

So I encourage you to do your research. Know what to expect to pay for a particular vendor or service. If you have an idea of what to expect, and you also pay attention to the quality of what you\u2019re getting, chances are good that you probably won\u2019t end up with the cheap wedding vendors. And more importantly, you\u2019ll have a much better chance of having a wonderful wedding- or at least better than mine! :)\u201d<\/p>\n
