We're still in the early stages of planning the wedding since we're over a year out, but I decided I wanted to get all the important vendors booked early so it'd be out of the way. I was thinking officiant, DJ, and photographer. After boatloads of research online and also checking out preferred vendors from our venue, I narrowed each category to one or two. We met with each potential vendor to see their work and see how we meshed with them. It was also the perfect time to ask all the questions we had built up in regards to prices, policies, and etc. I was kind of sad that I liked them all since I knew we would only choose one from each category.
