Welcome to The Big Fake Wedding's Vendor Handbook. We think it's all worth reading, but be sure not to miss the sections titled "Must Read!". We're so glad to have you join the team!

The Big Fake Wedding has three main goals that drive what we do:

Here is how we work towards accomplishing these goals: 

We offer guests new ideas that challenge traditions as they plan for their wedding day. From unique vendor categories (a Haiku booth! a cookie bar!) to exciting decor elements, we want guests to know that their wedding day should be unique to them.

We showcase stellar vendors in action at the event and in The Tunnel of Love. The vendors will be promoted online and at the event in the printed Vendor Guide, and we will send all of the photos and vendor crediting information to our media partners for potential coverage both before and after our events. We also encourage networking among the vendors, as we know these relationships are what can truly sustain a business.

We incorporate an emotional ceremony (a vow renewal of an already-married couple) which reminds guests that after the wedding comes a marriage - which also requires some planning!
