Hey hey Maddie Mills Photo Family!

Planning your wedding can be super stressful if you don’t have a solid team to support you. One of the MOST common questions I get during coffee meetings with my new couples and in emails is, “who do you recommend for…” or “there’s so many vendors out there that I don’t know where to start!”.

I want to help change that today by sharing some of my MOST recommended St. John’s wedding vendors who are passionate, super talented, professional, and trustworthy.

Most importantly, they are vendors who’s values align with mine in terms of inclusion, the way they run their business, and the way they treat their couples. MY couples. You! <3

A note I want to stress to my amazing fellow vendors:

If you don’t see yourself on this list, please don’t be insulted! We are lucky to have a WEALTH of great vendors in this province and therefore it would be absolutely impossible to list and recall everyone. I’m sharing names as a starting point for research of some people who I’ve worked with directly and frequently over the last few years. I encourage everyone to research all vendors far and wide and ultimately make the best choices for them!
