Your complete guide to Staunton, Virginia wedding vendors and finding great vendors throughout Virginia.
Finding wedding vendors is arguable the hardest part of planning a wedding. Once you’ve decided on your date, guest list size, and general style, the vendor selection begins! This Staunton Virginia wedding vendor guide is meant to take some of the initial research off your plate. You’ll likely want to start with your venue and planner, if you’re planning on hiring a wedding planner. A full service planner will likely have a recommended vendor guide, and can help you navigate choosing the right people for your wedding day. Wedding vendor selection is not one size fits all. You have to consider your style preferences, personal needs, budget, and then of course their availability comes into play.
While I have not personally worked with all of these vendors, they come recommended by friends, venues, and other photographers in the area. This list will save you hours of Googling for officiants, DJ’s, florists, and more! As you know, Staunton is a pretty small area. There are vendors listed here from about a ~90 minute drive radius. Wedding vendors are used to some degree of travel during wedding season. But I aim to feature the most localized list possible!
… But where are the wedding photographers?
You’ll notice that photographers are not listed here. This is because I am one! I use this guide to help my clients find vendors, typically after they’ve booked me, so photographers aren’t a necessary category at that point. If you’re still looking for a wedding photographer in Staunton or Augusta County, I’d love to talk further with you. Please inquire on my website, and we can set up a call! If we’re not a good fit or I’m not what you’re looking for, I have plenty of photographer friends I’d be happy to connect with you.
