It probably goes without saying that Wedding Planners are picky about who they will recommend to couples, and after six years of Celebrait by Kait, I can wholeheartedly say that caution is necessary every time. As Wedding Planners and Day of Coordinators, we are often inheriting vendors that were booked before the client signed with us. A lot of times it works out nicely, and then there are the horror stories too spooky to tell. Nevertheless, we know what to look for in vendors, and can gauge vendors quickly from a few emails, so I am passing along our go to guidelines to find your best vendor dream team. Questions?

There are SO many "mini events" to consider when creating your wedding day timeline. But how long does it ACTUALLY takes? TWO NOTES: 1. The makeup time quoted is for the bride, it will be quicker for bridesmaids, MOB, etc. 2. Your vendors will always share the best timing with you, this is just an estimate from my experience.
