Once you’ve booked your venue, the next big step in wedding planning is hiring your vendor team—but figuring out where to start can feel completely overwhelming. In this episode of The Wedding Planning Collective Podcast, we’re walking through exactly how to approach this process so you can book the right vendors at the right time—without unnecessary stress.

We’ll cover:

✔️ Which vendors you actually need (because not every wedding requires the same team)

✔️ The best order to book your vendors so you don’t miss out on your top choices

✔️ How to find and vet vendors that are the right fit for your wedding

✔️ What to expect from vendor meetings (and red flags to watch for)

✔️ How a wedding planner fits into the process—whether you’re considering full-service planning or just need coordination on the big day

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear, step-by-step approach to booking your wedding vendors with confidence.
