Wired to Vendors

The downside of planning a wedding by yourself is that it can be a particularly draining, time consuming, and stressful process. If you are a bride that is as detail obsessed or on a shoe string budget like me, you know finding and booking quality vendors is a major challenge. Weddingwire has created a great service called vendor match. It's a tool used to help brides find vendors in their particular budget and style. Basically brides fill out a few Q&As like event date and budget and Weddingwire does the rest. They send your info to potential vendors and the vendor can either choose to accept or decline your request. The best part is the service is FREE! Of course it does have some limitations as the search is based on certain regions and vendors have to pay a small fee to view your info. So don't take it personal if a vendor rejects you. I do hope the service search will extend to all areas in the country. The vendor match is great though because it cuts research time in half and makes it very easy to get in touch with vendor via e-mail or phone. You also get to read vendor reviews from past couples while checking out other info (sample of work, faq, and any discounts). Overall, it has been my new favorite wedding planning tool! As a busy bride planning her summer nuptials in 2011, this was a life saver. Can I also add that I just love how easy it is to create a wedding website on Weddingwire too. Highly Recommended!
