How to find the best party vendors, QUICKLY!
In my years working in event management, I've always been asked: “Where can I find vendors and suppliers I can trust?” To answer this frequently asked question, I’ll be sharing my tips on how to search for the best party vendors out there!
1. WORD OF MOUTH <-- THE BEST FORM OF REVIEW!
One great way to find party decorations, catering services, or venue providers is by asking. Hit up your friends and family members, and ask for some recommendations, consult with your mother's group, fellow childcare mums, ask your fave Facebook communities and groups... they are bound to give you their favorite party vendors and unsolicited reviews.
2. PLANNING DIRECTORIES <-- DO YOUR RESEARCH
3. SOCIAL MEDIA <--USE WITH CAUTION
4. VENDOR PARTNERS + COLLABORATORS <--FOR INDUSTRY INSIGHT
If you’ve already found your party supplies here, but don’t know where to get the catering, the cake or the venue, don’t worry! You can always check out who your current vendors have partnered with previously. Stalk them on social media to find out who they've collaborated with, or just ask them who they'd recommend (here's our list of fabulous Party people). We've done a range of shoots with some fantastic party pro's - like the image below - and many other party suppliers have done the same!
