Planning your Jersey wedding is an exhilarating journey, one filled with genuine excitement and the occasional hair-pulling! After all, going through this roller coaster of emotions is all worth it for curating the day of your dreams.
Of course, amid your journey, you’ll have to complete one incredibly crucial task - finding the perfect wedding suppliers. Arguably, this is one of the most challenging parts of the process due to the abundant choices. All of these decisions can make your head spin from the wedding venue to the tiniest details of your decor, catering, and stationery.
However, don’t get overwhelmed by this. We know this is easier said than done, but every couple has been in your shoes at one point or another.

As you’ll soon discover, every helping hand as you plan your wedding is more than appreciated. In this blog, we’ll show you how to easily pick the right wedding suppliers - planning your wedding is a journey and building the right team will ensure it flows seamlessly.
Furthermore, instead of navigating these rough waters all by yourself, you’ll see how our expertise will steer you in the right direction. Teamwork makes the dream wedding work!
Establish Your Vision And Style
After celebrating your engagement, the first thing you’ve probably done is rush to Pinterest and come up with all sorts of mood boards. Naturally, since there are so many choices, this could have gone on for hours on end. Ultimately, you’ve ended up with countless ideas, making your mood board rather cluttered.
While it’s okay to have variety, there is such a thing as too much variety. In other words, having all of your ideas in one place with different styles can make your wedding supplier selection much harder in the long run. You may believe that you need everything, but the last thing you want is for your celebration to look incohesive, right?
So, it’s time to put your organisational skills into play! Take all the time you need to picture your perfect wedding. Whether it’s an extravagantly glamorous affair or something toned down and intimate, be sure you have a clear image in your mind. And, if you need some help with this, you can always turn to your Jersey wedding planner. Since we have a lot of experience, we certainly easily provide some ideas that will make your inspiration spark.
Determine Your Budget
Once you have pictured your ideal celebration, you only need to take care of one more thing before researching wedding suppliers - determine your budget.
We know this is not the most exciting nor the most glamorous part of the planning process, but it’s essentially the most important one. Having your budget set in place will clearly show you how much you can spend on your wedding so you don’t run into any last-minute disappointments.
And a word of advice - try to stick to it as much as possible. In our experience as Jersey wedding planners, we cannot tell you how many times couples have gone overboard with their spending, causing them to scramble.
The way you can easily prevent this is by setting your priorities straight. For instance, wedding photography might be at the top of your list, so you may feel obliged to splurge. However, if the price has gone over the one you initially planned, you’ll need to compromise on other aspects like the decor, catering, and so forth. In any case, your wedding planner will always be there to help oversee your figures.

Start Your Research
We’ve finally arrived for the fun part - researching Jersey wedding suppliers (YOUR wedding team!)
The wedding industry has become so sophisticated in the last couple of years, with new vendors popping up by the minute. Best of all, it shows no signs of stopping. However, you know by now that having this much variety will only make your decisions more challenging in the long run. For that reason, it’s always advisable to stick to your plan.
Based on your vision and budget, you can start relevant Jersey wedding vendors. You can do this by checking out their portfolios and reading reviews from previous clients. By doing so, you’ll get a clear understanding of whether they’re the right match for you.
Most importantly, don’t rush through the process. There’s nothing worse than going for wedding suppliers that don’t see eye-to-eye with you. So, take all the time you need, and don’t hesitate to ask for help from your planner. Since we have a lot of celebrations under our belt, we can seamlessly recommend suppliers that will be an ideal match for you.
Ask Questions
When you have a round-up of your Jersey wedding team, it’s time to become the ultimate interviewer. There’s no such thing as wrong questions, so ask anything that may interest you - be it for the price, their services, and so forth.
Additionally, it’s important that your selected wedding suppliers match with you on a personal level. You may love the services they provide, but if you don’t click in person, the collaboration simply won’t be there. With that in mind, you’ll want suppliers who will be available for you with whatever you need - that way you’ll know they’re the perfect ones!
Book Early
Once you’ve conducted all of your interviews and gathered all the information you need, it’s time to act fast. More specifically, you’ll need to lock those bookings early on.
As you’re meeting your preferred vendors, always mention your chosen wedding date to see whether they’ll be available at that time. If they are and you believe they’ll do exemplary work for your wedding, book them as soon as possible.
Keep in mind that there are many other couples who share a similar vision with yours and are going through the same process as you are. Trust us - you don’t want to face the disappointment of having one of your favourite vendors booked for your date. As the old saying goes, “The early bird catches the worm”, so ensure you’re the earliest!
By following these guidelines, you’ll have no problems finding the ideal Jersey wedding suppliers. Yes, the process may get tumultuous at times, but it’s all part of the journey, so take it all in. You’ll definitely enjoy the ride!
