When it comes to choosing your perfect wedding vendors, I know it can be a bit of a minefield. Sometimes your wedding venue can help you out, but they aren't always completely impartial. As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer however, I photographer weddings up and down the UK and across Europe getting to eat, dance and work with the best. So it goes without saying that I know the good guys from the bad guys.
Which is why I've put together my amazing list of wedding suppliers. Everything from the best wedding gown shops, to the best food, my favourite bands to get the party started, and even hair and make up. Because I like to make sure that you have every single thing to ensure this wedding planning thing is easy.
So scroll on down and find the perfect supplier for you.
I have eaten many many pieces of chicken, so you don't have to. From fine dining to sharing plates, I've eaten it all... But when it comes to selecting your favourite caterer, it's not just down to food. Like choosing a wedding photographer, there are many things to consider. Number 1 is service... the best caterers bring enough staff to ensure your wedding dinner is hot and on time. Then there is having enough food for everyone. And of course, finally, TASTY FOOD! I mean, that is high on my list... but should go without saying. Obvs.
So here's my favourite caterers. Click the links below to check them all out.
No wedding is complete without flowers. Whether you want an adorned arch, blossom trees at your top table, or just a simple bouquet, my favourite florists are absolute magicians when it comes to wedding floristry styling. These clever lot can make your wedding venue look absolutely amazing - and they don't just do flowers! If you want lanterns down your aisle, or an unusual table plan display, they've got it all. My advice is, go seasonal wherever possible (it helps keep the costs of import down), go with an open mind about what you want, and let the florist lead you down a creative path. Here's my favourite floristry vendors.
If there was ever a day to let yourself be pampered, then your wedding day is it! Hiring a pro to do your hair and make up will not only make you look amazing, it will also make you feel amazing too. Beauty pros know a thing or two about making your hair look like you just stepped out of a salon, and make-up artists know how to ensure your wedding look stays put all day and night long - no matter how much sweating you plan to do on your dance floor. So here's my choice of wedding hair and make-up professionals so you can look fabulous.

There is nothing - I repeat - nothing, that can beat a band at a wedding. I've shot weddings where the bride has got up to sing with her own band, and the groom has performed with his band. I've shot celeb weddings where there has not been one band but about five. Bands get the party started like nothing else. I go to Glasto each year with the New York Brass Band. It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Whether you want a little afternoon liveliness, you want a band to interrupt your ceremony and march you down the aisle, or you just want a massive party to kick off in the evening, here's my top weddings bands of all time. for more inspiration, check out Johnny Ross Music - the link will take you to his amazing list wedding bands.
