Okay, it’s our turn!
Not too long ago I gave you 3 things to stop doing while wedding planning…but now it’s time for us to step up to the plate!
1) Talking badly to your couples about other vendors. Yep. You are of course allowed to disagree with how another vendor runs their ship. As long as they’re not out here stealing people’s deposits and ghosting them (see: number 2), of course. There are plenty of other officiants, day-of coordinators, planners, decor renters, etc., who do things much differently than we do, from pricing to processes. But there’s only one me and one them. Every single vendor brings their own flavor! It’s okay to say “we do things a little differently here” but encourage the couple to find the best fit for them…you know, like they did their fiancé. 🤗
2) 👻Going incommunicado. Listen, your couples are spending a TON of money on one day. Letting them hang is just rude. Put yourself in their position - you have X amount of dollars to spend on one thing that means a ton to you. You hire someone to help you obtain this thing and then your questions go unanswered for weeks…yikes, right? In 2026 there’s no reason to not be answering your couples in a timely manner.
3) Not working cohesively with other vendors. We all have a job to do, and most of us want to do it really well. That means playing nicely together in the sandbox, helping each other when needed and staying out of each other’s way when necessary to give the couple an amazing wedding! Unless told otherwise, assume a vendor knows what they’re doing and they don’t need instructions from you on how to do their job, AND be willing to help if possible. We all have the same end goal, after all. One band, one sound. 🙌
Bonus One/Confession - not taking care of yourself. Eat breakfast, drink water, get quality sleep, and turn off those screens once in a while. We can’t give more than we pour into ourselves, so do the things that keep your tank full. Kapiche? 😘
