A guide to finding you the perfect Toronto wedding vendors
A wedding vendor is a person or company that supplies your wedding. There are different types of vendors, and, sometimes, you need multiple vendors for your day. Decoration vendors and catering are a couple of examples of vendors you might need to hire separately from your wedding venue.
Where to find wedding vendors?
Pinterest! It’s similar to Google but with more pictures. When you Pinterest search a type of vendor you want, such as florals, you can see several different colours and images. When Pinterest searching, make sure to include the city of your wedding. If you see something you like you can “pin” it to your Pinterest board – which is on your account. Keeping the images on your own Pinterest board helps to create a mood board with various things you like and want in a specific topic. The images will have a link to a place where you can book this vendor.
Instagram is a great place to show off! A lot of Toronto wedding vendors use Instagram to feature their products. This is a great way to show vendors what you are looking for in a product. This is also a great way to find vendors for things you hadn’t thought of but might like for your wedding. Something like a flower wall or photo booth to make the event more exciting.
To start, we recommend following a large account such as Martha Stewart, Instagram will recommend other smaller and more relevant accounts. Or even searching Toronto wedding vendors and seeing what hashtags show up.
Networking
You probably have friends and family who have gotten married. Ask them about their Toronto wedding vendors and who they would recommend and why they chose their own vendors. In today’s society, word of mouth and reputation go a long way. That is one of the benefits of knowing a lot of people, quite often you will have an abundance of options based on your network and who they used.
The venue
If you’ve already chosen a venue for your wedding, they most likely have a list of preferred vendors. Some places actually insist you pick from that list, but most are okay with bringing in outside vendors. These vendors have worked with the venue before and have been recommended by other guests.
Wedding blogs
Wedding blogs like this one are great resources to find wedding vendors and see why people like them and dislike them. Read the blog in full, so you know what you are getting into with this vendor.
Now that you know where to find great Toronto wedding vendors. It’s time to contact them. Ensure that you’ve researched them when you reach out and have a budget in mind. Research can be as easy as reading the google reviews on their services or talking to someone who has used them before.
Bonus Tip:
Make sure that you click with your Toronto wedding vendor. You want someone as excited about your day as you are. You want someone willing to go the extra mile for you, whose attention to detail and vibe fits your style. Most importantly, your values should line up, and that might sound weird because it is just a decoration or food, but it will set your wedding apart, and you’ll feel less stressed because you’ll be on the same page.
