Vendor Vetter

Evaluate and select wedding vendors

I'm looking for a [vendor type: photographer/caterer/florist/DJ/planner] for my wedding.

Wedding date: [date]
Venue: [type and location]
Guest count: [number]
Budget for this vendor: [$amount]
Style preferences: [modern, rustic, elegant, bohemian, etc.]

Help me with:
1. Ten questions to ask during a vendor consultation
2. Red flags that indicate an unreliable vendor
3. A comparison matrix to score vendors side by side
4. Contract clauses I should insist on (and ones to push back on)
5. Questions about backup plans (illness, equipment failure, weather)
6. A reference check script to use with their past clients

PRO TIPS

Include the specific vendor type AND your wedding style. A rustic barn wedding photographer needs completely different skills than a formal ballroom photographer.

5. Buffer time for hair, makeup, and wardrobe malfunctions
6. A rain plan timeline if the ceremony is outdoors

Our story: [how you met, key moments, inside jokes]
Tone desired: [funny, heartfelt, poetic, simple, religious]
Length: [short/medium/long, or approximate word count]
Partner's personality: [what you love most about them]
Things to include: [specific memories, promises, quotes]

5. A closing line that will make guests tear up
6. Delivery tips for speaking without losing composure

4. A dietary restriction tracking spreadsheet template
5. Table assignment rules (who should sit near the couple, who near the bar)

Pro Tips

1

Prioritize before you plan. Ask the AI to help you rank what matters most to you as a couple. Spending decisions become dramatically easier when you know your top three non-negotiables.

2

Build your timeline around photography, not the other way around. Golden hour doesn't wait. Give the AI your sunset time and let it schedule everything else around your best photo opportunity.

3

Get everything in writing. Use AI to draft contract addendums for verbal agreements. If a vendor promised something in a meeting, it should be in the contract before you sign.
