Good vendors make your wedding day smooth and stress-free. Before you sign or pay a deposit, ask these ten questions.

- Are you available on our date? On JoDate you can filter vendors by the date you need.
- What exactly is included in your package? Hours, number of photos, dishes, staff, delivery.
- What costs extra? Travel, overtime, generators, service charges.
- Can we see recent work? Full albums or videos, not just highlights.
- Do you have reviews from real couples? Read them on the vendor's page.
- How much is the deposit, and is it refundable?
- When is the rest of the payment due?
- Do you serve our area, or will you travel to us?
- Who will actually be there on the day?
- What happens if something goes wrong — illness, rain, a cancelled venue?
Protect yourself
Get the agreement in writing, pay through a traceable method and keep receipts. Be careful with any vendor who pushes you to pay everything upfront.
