💚 10 Green Flags to Look for When Selecting Your Wedding Vendors
Finding the right vendors for your wedding isn’t just about pretty portfolios or price points — it’s about building a dream team that gets you.
The truth? The right people make planning feel lighter, more fun, and (dare we say it) even relaxing. So before you sign that contract, here are 10 green flags to look for — the signs that you’ve found your people and brands.
1. They Listen
When you share your vision, they actually listen — not just wait for their turn to talk. They ask smart questions, get curious about your vibe, and make you feel heard. That’s the foundation of a smooth creative partnership.
2. Their Communication Is Clear (and Kind)
You’re not chasing them down for updates or wondering if your email disappeared into the void. Whether they use a shared portal, a timeline doc, or just really thoughtful replies, good communication is a serious green flag.
3. Their Contract Protects You Too
Transparent terms, clear cancellation policies, no surprise fees. A solid contract shows they’ve done this before — and that they care about fairness on both sides.
4. They Talk Budget Without Flinching
If a vendor can have an honest conversation about money (and even help you prioritize where to splurge vs. save), that’s a sign of professionalism and empathy.
5. Their Reviews Mention More Than the Product
You’ll notice their clients rave not just about what they delivered — but how they made them feel. Look for words like “organized,” “calm,” and “made the day stress-free.” Those matter.
6. They Play Well With Others
Good vendors know they’re part of a team. They collaborate with other pros seamlessly — from the planner to the photographer to the florist — because they all share the same goal: making your day amazing.
7. They Have a Backup Plan (and Maybe Even a Backup for the Backup)
Rain, traffic, or tech hiccups don’t scare them. They’ve seen it all and know exactly what to do when things don’t go to plan. Peace of mind, personified.
8. Their Style Feels Like a Fit
Their existing style already aligns with your aesthetic — and that makes collaboration easy and authentic.
9. They Respect Boundaries and Work-Life Balance
This might sound small, but it’s a big one: professionals who set healthy boundaries usually bring calm energy to your event. If they respond quickly but not at midnight, that’s actually a good thing.
10. You Just Feel It
That gut feeling? Trust it. The best vendors make you feel comfortable, excited, and at ease. You’ll spend a lot of time with these people — you should genuinely like them.
