Hi all,
Which vendors did you book from online info (vendor sites, chat board info, etc)?
Which vendors did you book from bridal shows?
Which vendors did you book from word or mouth (referrals from family and friends)?

- 5 (videographer, photographer, day of coordinator, DJ, and officiant) were found from online info
- 1 (reception venue) was found from word of mouth
- 3 (flowers, tuxes and limo) were found from a bridal show - this didn't really fit in the other categories
I guess I am an online booker!
ETA tuxes!

Which vendors did you book from online info (vendor sites, chat board info, etc)?-Hair/make-up, currently looking into decor, venue, favours, honeymoon. FB was a big help with these! Which vendors did you book from bridal shows?-Photog, DJ, cake Which vendors did you book from word or mouth (referrals from family and friends)?-Flowers, dress Limo was booked with the company that services my work. Church was the one that all of FH family goes to. This made these choices easier  Christine

Which vendors did you book from online info (vendor sites, chat board info, etc)?
I may book a photographer and an officiant. I found the venue on the net.
Which vendors did you book from bridal shows?
None, I found them all overpriced
Which vendors did you book from word or mouth (referrals from family and friends)?
The caterer was referred to me by the Ukrainian church, I couldn't find any listed so I figured that was the best place to ask if they knew any.
