If you're deep in the midst of your wedding planning, we're positive that you've seen a preferred vendor list - this could be either from your wedding planner, your venue, or even one of your other many vendors. Caterers partner with staffing and bar companies, photographers will refer videographers that they work collaboratively with, and venues will often require you to work with specific tried and true vendors that have been thoroughly vetted through them.

Is this a good thing, or not? We personally think having a select list of vendors to choose from who have worked together, understand the rules, and play nicely together is 100% a good thing. In today's episode, we have Stuart Kotake, the Director of Catering and Sales for the Waikiki Collection, talking about why selecting your vendors from a Preferred (or in his words - Partner) vendor list is truly a win for your wedding! Tune in to hear his expertise on this often polarizing topic.
