Wedding Vendor Checklist: Questions to Ask Before Booking

Describe the same requirement to every vendor

Give each supplier the same functions, location, guest or service quantities and timing. Otherwise one quote may cover a reception only while another includes several functions. Ask who will actually attend and what deliverables are included. Keep style preferences separate from essential requirements so the comparison remains clear.

Check the operational details

Ask about arrival, setup, equipment, venue dependencies, extra hours and backup arrangements. For photographers, clarify deliverables and delivery timing; for caterers, clarify billable quantities and service inclusions. Do not turn a general online checklist into a legal conclusion about a particular contract.

Record the agreed version

Once you choose, retain the written scope and payment schedule. If a supplier changes an inclusion, update your records before paying against the old version. VivahVerse can organize your vendor information; it does not certify the supplier or make the booking on your behalf.

A practical example

This example is fictional. Adapt the entries to your own functions, agreements and people; it is not a market-price estimate.

Before you hand this over

• Give suppliers the same brief.
• Keep written inclusions and exclusions.
• Check the final scope before paying an advance.
