A couple weeks ago, we went to
The Merrimon Wynne Winter Wedding Showcase. The Merrimon Wynne is a historic home in downtown Raleigh that’s been converted into a gorgeous wedding venue. Inside the house and in the carriage house outside, engaged couples were walking around looking for the right wedding vendors for their big day. And if they looked like they might be willing to answer some questions about their wedding vendor search, we asked them to come on the show. We asked them questions like:
- Where are you finding your vendors?
- What's a turnoff when looking for vendors?
- How important is social media when researching a vendor?
- Do you read reviews and how much do they matter
- Does TikTok matter?
- What’s been a surprise in the wedding planning process?
- Do you need to see pricing on the website? (This one was super interesting)
- And, anything you want wedding vendors to know?
So let's tune in to find out what couples really want! Episodes referenced:
