055: Professionals vs. “Friendors”: What to Look Out for when your Vendors are your Friends

The Wedding Duo: A Wedding Planning Podcast

Understatement of the century: weddings are expensive! So it’s totally understandable if you decide for your budget’s sake to forgo the professional photographer and go with the family friend who said they’d do it for free. But if you do this, there are some things you should know to make sure you still get the wedding you want. In this episode we discuss whether—and how—to make a wedding work when not all of your vendors are professionals.

We talk more about:

• The experience of having many pros at a wedding versus one or none
• How to make sure non-professionals know what they’re doing
• How to handle different social dynamics of a non-professional relationship
• And much more!
