Don't Delay; Book Today

So Shawn and I learned a valuable lesson last week: don’t delay when it comes to booking your vendors.

Back in late October we settled on a photographer but someone-who-will-not-be-named said wait, let’s take our time and not book the photographer just yet. So we waited and in the meantime another possible candidate popped up and it took someone-who-will-not-be-named a few days to check out this other person’s work and then someone-who-will-not-be-named decided yeah, let’s get in touch with our first choice and book him.

And you know what’s coming next. I got in touch with the photographer and it turns out that he might have another event already booked for that day. The other event is a wedding in the Bahamas (can’t blame him for wanting to do that) and the days aren’t nailed down yet so he’s going to chase after this other bride to find out what’s happening with her wedding and then he’ll get back to me and let me know if he can do mine.

Yep, as soon as the find a florist, baker, officiate, whatever else we need, we’re booking them.
