On average, couples hire 14 different vendors for their wedding day! Photography is still in the top spot, with 90% of last year’s couples hiring a pro photographer to capture their day. 📷


How many wedding vendors are you planning on booking? Have you been able to double-up on any services with one company? Are you over or under the average of 14 vendors in your vendor team?

    Under. We went to only 1. I would have been miserable if we went to 14 and so would he. That is way too much time out of my "free time".
