How to Be an Awesome Bride/Groom that Your Vendors Love

[@Laure__Line]

Thanks for the cake idea ! I love it, and I am pretty sure my fiancé will love it too !

[@cavinelizabeth]

You are so welcome!

[@jmbaus]

I will definitely make sure the photographers are fed. They are with us all day, of course they need to eat some good food with some cake at the end. Same thing with my DJ, he will get hungry too. Thank you for reminding me to make sure all the things I wanted shot are ready to go for them.

[@cavinelizabeth]

Of course! Sounds like they will love working with you :)

[@Nchikky]

I will definitely make sure to offer my vendors a piece of cake... Donuts actually, since that's what we're doing instead of cake! Thank you for these tips Cavin!

[@cavinelizabeth]

hehe they will love you!!

I like planning ahead. What I've already done was created a Google Doc for my photographer and videographer with a list of shots me and my fiance would like. And already told them if anything needs to be changed, we are open to it. I know the day of our wedding, I will be giving both of them a pleasant tip.

[@cavinelizabeth]

I would kindly recommend against the Google Doc shot list unless it's really, really small. Photographers and videographers generally find it difficult to work with for a number of reasons and working from a list of shots can take them out of real moments and you'll end up with carbon copies of staged moments from other people's weddings. I have a dedicated video on this topic I recommend watching.

@@cavinelizabeth Okay definitely will keep that in mind. That won't be an issue since my wedding will be small. I've been finding all of your wedding videos helpful so far. Thank you so much!

What do you do? If the photographer is Vegan but you are not. We did not like all the foods she picked out. What do I do ?

[@cavinelizabeth]

What do you mean? Are you the one getting married? The photographer would only be specifying vegan for their own meal - not yours. The catering team makes vendor meals for the vendors and any vendors who are gluten free/vegan will receive accommodations. It does not affect guests or the couple.

[@mirla838]

@Cavin Elizabeth ohhh yes. The photographer's contract states she gets a meal. But she's vegan and none of the foods I had picked with the caterer is vegan type. So the catering team will make a whole new plate for her? (Since she is the only one with a dietary restriction)

[@Edgartripp]

Omg I’m excited to see what you’re going to start doing 😱❤️

[@cavinelizabeth]

Can't wait to share!

[@rachelstrode652]

Good tips but wish you had some pictures up at the same time throughout the video or just a way to make it more watchable. Seems like the whole video is just you sitting there talking. I caught myself many times throughout spacing off because I lost interest 🤷🏻‍♀️

The intro was so long

[@cavinelizabeth]

:(

[@ThesaurusSarah]

It was a little long but that’s okay because the content was great! I think as you grow you’ll get even better and find a great flow. I voted for this video so thanks!

From a vendor.. just a little bias

[@ceilamanzel8212]

Jay Tree It's not bias, it's information from an informed source because she's a vendor. She's not telling people what to do, just what they can do so their vendors enjoy working with them.

[@cavinelizabeth]

Did you not hear the part that I was also a bride this year?

[@jaytree]

@@cavinelizabeth did u all think u saying something would change my mind cause ur a vendor i say what i want too.. customer is always right ... maybe if i cared i would listen.. its bias because ur telling me your opinion. My opinion is bias too... think about it... people just say they arent.. lol

[@jaytree]

@@cavinelizabeth congratulations i guess... im single and?
