Core Questions for Any Vendor

1. Are you available on our date and location?
2. What is included in your standard package?
3. What are your payment terms and deadlines?
4. What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?
5. Who is our day-of point of contact?

Performance & Reliability Questions

• What contingencies do you have for illness or emergencies?
• Can we see full galleries / full examples, not only highlights?

Logistics Questions
