Open resourceChoosing your people
Vendor questions that reveal more than a price list.
Skill matters. So do reliability, clarity, presence, communication, and whether the team can support the experience you are trying to have.
- 01
Have you worked at this venue or under similar light and access conditions?
- 02
Who is physically present on the wedding day, and what happens if they are unavailable?
- 03
What is included, what is optional, and what could change the final price?
- 04
How do you communicate with the planner and the rest of the vendor team?
- 05
How do you back up the work, handle emergencies, and protect privacy?
- 06
Does the way this person communicates make the planning season feel clearer?

Film + music inspiration
Give us emotional references, not an edit-by-edit script.
- What song feels like the opening scene of this season?
- Which music belongs to your relationship—not simply to weddings?
- Should the film feel intimate, propulsive, nostalgic, cinematic, or playful?
- Which voices must be preserved: vows, letters, speeches, ambient conversations, live music?
- Are there songs that are deeply personal but should never appear in a public edit?
For booked clients
Your private project holds the specifics.
The public library is intentionally generous. Booked clients also receive project-specific questionnaires, addresses, contacts, family notes, private timelines, call sheets, contracts, invoices, and deliverables through their secure client workspace.
