Choosing the wrong vendor can lead to any number of mishaps prior to, during, and even after your wedding. That’s why one of the most important steps towards a successful wedding is ensuring you have excellent communication among your various vendors. This is critical to avoid mistakes during your Oregon wedding or other event. In too many instances, with everything else they have to worry about, vendor communication becomes an afterthought for many couples. It’s left to the individual vendors to work out. This can lead to undue tension and added hassles that interfere with your wedding. Choosing the right vendors eases this worry, because they will have the experience necessary to ask the right questions and work together with other vendors in the lead up to your ceremony and reception. Because DJ Cutt Entertainment is a Portland-based photo booth, DJ, and videography company, we have experience dealing with weddings from many different angles. We understand how communication plays a vital role in planning any event, especially weddings, for which you only get one chance to get everything right. The following is a list of the most important things to consider when picking a wedding vendor.
