Last-Minute Questions To Ask Your Wedding Vendors

During wedding planning, a lot can happen at the last minute and we mean, not in a good way. Your wedding vendor might cancel on you or go MIA. No one wants to go through a nightmare like that. So how do you avoid all of that chaos? Well, it's simple, get in touch with your vendors and ask these simple questions and get confirmations. Read on to find out what they are.

How many payments are pending?

This must be done much before the main event to avoid the post-wedding stress. You don’t want to deal with unpaid bills and it’s a much better idea to get everything clarified while you’re still planning. Ask many questions, jot down everything you must in the contract itself and clarify or double-check if something doesn’t feel right. You’ll feel much better if you get all this done before the wedding and will be able to enjoy yourself without worrying about it.

Who do I contact if I need anything?

Chances are there’ll be many more people from the vendor’s group than you’re expecting and it’s important to ask about this. If you or someone or someone from the wedding party needs to urgently contact someone from the vendor’s side on the wedding day, who’ll be the best person to ask?

Get the details, the phone numbers and names and give those to at least two people you trust like your parents or your best friend to avoid confusion later on. You don’t want to be lost and find out that the main vendor is unreachable on the big day when you have something major to handle and don’t know what to do.

Do you have everything you need?

All the technical questions, the equipment, back up stock and more should be worked on before the wedding. Ask them if they need any special arrangements or something else from the venue and whether there is a good plan in place in case there is a technical snag. The last thing you need is equipment failure and it’s essential that you get everything checked beforehand to avoid disappointment.

Do make as many calls as you need, calculate extra charges, spend some time researching on your own but make sure you help your vendors get everything they need to ensure things go smoothly. Even for something like makeup, you need to consult your makeup artist beforehand and ensure that all the products are available and nothing is missing on the wedding day.

Other questions

You may want to know what may happen if someone falls sick and whether someone else will be able to take over. Check for the wedding timeline, the time allotted to each event with your vendors and extra arrangements that need to be made before it’s time. Get any doubts clarified at this point such as you may want to know how much time it will take for your wedding photographer to get choreographed shots or how long the venue will stay open in case the wedding celebrations last later than expected. Do check for overtime charges and anything else that’s missing.

Asking these questions and getting a double-check on the confirmations will add to the little peace of mind you get during the wedding planning chaos. This will also ensure that if any alterations or adjustments can be made to the plan, they are made in time. In case, your florist does not provide you with the flowers of your choice, getting in touch with them might reveal the possibility of a backup choice.
