One of the very first decisions I help my clients make is choosing their wedding band. From a planner’s perspective, the perfect wedding band is so much more than a good online video. As a wedding planner, it is imperative that my vendors are part of my team. I’ve had the pleasure of having Party on the Moon on my “team” since 2006 and they truly set the bar for bands!
I use the acronym PROOF to describe the characteristics that I require in my vendor partners. I maintain a short but diverse list of professionals in every category that live up to the principals defined by PROOF. POTM exemplifies PROOF!
Here are the characteristics we seek in a perfect vendor partner:
Professional and Passionate
Offer superior customer service.
Show respect for planner, clients AND guests of wedding.
Be professional and courteous in appearance from set-up to break down.
Have passion about this industry and your clients.
Responsive
Quick response time to emails and phone calls.
Availability during off hours.
Read the timeline and ask questions!
Be able to respond to changes the night of event.
Outstanding
Go above and beyond. Always!
Original
Show off some new stuff, reinvent the wheel.
Stay current. Keep your music, products and materials clean, current, and advanced.
Updated website and marketing!
Fair
Offer a great value for your service.
Cheers!
