Bridal shows in January

The bridal show frenzy is on. There seems to be multiple bridal shows in each city every weekend in January. Some are big, some smaller, but all just as important. Bridal shows are an excellent way for brides and grooms to see the latest trends, sample exquisite foods and cake and find service providers for their wedding day. Of course, there are as many service providers to wade through as there are shows, so how do you know which ones are the best for your celebration?

Here is a handy checklist to use when looking for that perfect vendor for your perfect day. I have posted this before, but it seems appropriate to do so again.

· Make sure to note their personalities: When you meet with them, do you feel a friction back and forth or are they easy to get along with?
· Do they mind if you make suggestions or is it their way or no way?
· Are they flexible or does it seem like you are pulling teeth to get them to make any changes?
· Do they return your phone calls in a timely manner?
· Is their office environment reasonably professional and organized?
· Do they treat you with professional courtesy?
· Do they make you feel at ease and welcome your questions?
· Are they willing to change things to better accommodate your special day’s needs?
· Are they willing to go the extra mile for your business?
· Are they willing to customize or make suggestions to better fit your style and needs?
· Is their equipment state-of-the-art, or at very least, up-to-date with today’s technology?
· Do their ideas seem innovative and fresh or is this just another routine event to them?
· Do they seem happy and interested to retain your business and fulfill your needs?
· Do they seem to know what they are talking about?
