Clients often assume I have a single go-to list for every event. The truth is my vendor selection changes with every project — but the way I vet them doesn’t.
Reliability Over Flash
A stunning portfolio means nothing if a vendor doesn’t show up on time or communicate clearly under pressure. I weigh reliability and communication as heavily as I weigh the work itself — sometimes more.
Fit for the Specific Event
A florist who’s brilliant for a garden wedding isn’t necessarily right for a corporate gala’s brand aesthetic. I match vendors to the specific event, not just to a general reputation.
Backup Plans, Always
Every key vendor role has a backup I trust, quietly built into the plan before it’s ever needed. It’s not about distrust — it’s about making sure one person’s emergency never becomes your event’s emergency.
Real Relationships, Not Just Contracts
The vendors I work with most often are the ones I’ve built real working relationships with over years. That trust translates into smoother communication, more flexibility when plans shift, and a team that’s genuinely invested in your event going well.
Your Vendors Are Welcome Too
I’ll always coordinate with vendors you already love and trust. My job is to make any team work together seamlessly, not to insist on my own list.
