Your wedding vendors are the team behind the magic – bringing your vision to life, moment by moment. At Riverside Country Estate, we’ve worked alongside some of the best in the industry, and we know how much the right people can elevate your celebration. Here’s how to choose vendors you can trust and click with:
Start With Your Venue’s Recommendations
We always suggest starting with Riverside’s preferred vendor list. These professionals know the venue inside and out, understand the layout and lighting, and can seamlessly coordinate with our team to keep the day running smoothly.
Prioritise Communication & Personality
Beyond talent, look for vendors who communicate clearly, respond promptly, and make you feel comfortable. You’ll be spending a lot of time with your photographer, planner, and even your DJ – choose people you click with.
Look at Real Weddings
Don’t just rely on styled shoots – ask to see full galleries or event recaps, especially ones hosted at Riverside. Real weddings show how a vendor handles lighting, timing, and those little in-between moments.
Match Their Style to Your Vision
Each vendor brings their own flair. Whether it’s romantic, minimalist, or bold and creative, make sure their work aligns with your dream aesthetic – not just what’s trendy.
Be Honest About Your Budget
Great vendors will help you make the most of your budget. Be upfront, and look for those who offer transparent pricing and creative options without pushing you beyond your limits.
Read the Reviews – and the Contract
Online reviews are helpful, but so is reading the fine print. Know what’s included, what’s not, and what happens if plans change. A clear contract = peace of mind.
At Riverside Country Estate, we’re here to guide you every step of the way—whether you need a trusted florist, an amazing live band, or a caterer who gets your vibe.
