Congratulations and welcome to the world of wedding planning! If you are newly engaged, you may be asking: What suppliers do you need for your wedding? Well, you’re in the right place. Today I’m breaking it down for you with a specific list of every supplier you’ll need for your wedding!
What suppliers do you need for your wedding?
Jeweller
One of the first places you want to start is with your wedding jeweller! And if you’ve already got your engagement ring, consider where you’d like to purchase your wedding rings. Consider where you’ll have your ring cleaned before the Big Day, insurance, and other important wedding jewellery items you’ll want.

Planner
Your wedding planner is the one who can help set the tone for the rest of your wedding planning journey. He or she will help you find your dream suppliers, obtain special rates, and navigate potential tricky situations. If you can’t afford a full time wedding planner, consider hiring a day-of coordinator to run things on the day.
