Use a Service Finder to create your Wedding Dream Team
When I planned my own wedding six years ago, I had to rely on Google. I’d do a Google search for Photographers and then I’d have to go through each one. This involved looking for email addresses and hoping the suppliers would all respond with information about their prices and packaging. Let’s just say it took a LONG time to gather all the information I needed.
At weddingsonline, we’ve got a nifty Service Finder tool to eliminate the multiple steps I had to take. Fill in some key information about your wedding, let us know what you’re looking for (a photographer, band, venue etc), click one button and done! You’ll start receiving quotes and information from your Wedding Dream Team. Now you can plan your wedding without spending hours and hours scrolling through Google. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it!
