Wedding Tip Wednesday- Outside Vendors Permitted?

A major talking point that cannot be overlooked in the booking of your reception site is if outside vendors are allowed or if they need to be selected from a pre-approved list. Some locations only allow a select few vendors or handle everything in-house leaving caterers, rental companies, and many other wedding essentials on the outside looking in. Some couples enjoy having a limited list to choose from but if you already have specific food, drink, or settings in mind you need to make sure they will be allowed.
