Hi EllieRose! That's great to hear! Having an all-inclusive venue is so helpful, as many of the vendors and details are taken care of by the reputable vendor partners the venue already has. Definitely takes some planning & details off your shoulders.

Lets see...

Venue: Includes catering, bar tending, DOC and other items.

Photographer

Florist

Desserts

Band

Church for the ceremony, includes officiant and music

Hair & Makeup

Transportation

Suit/Tux Rental

Does my dress boutique count as a vendor?

What about BMs dresses?

Graphic Designer for invites

Paper company to print invites

Minted for Save the Dates

Does my Nail Tech count?

What about who does my spray tan?

Exactly 13 lol.
1. Church2. Pianist3. Cantor
4. Reception venue

1-Photographer, 2-DJ, 3-Venue, 4-Hair & make-up, 5-Kosher Caterer, 6-Florist, 7-Rentals (Tent A/C, chandeliers, lounge furniture), 8-Cake, 9-Wedding Dress/Alterations, 10-Bridesmaids Dresses, 11-Groom and Groomsmen suits/alterations, 12-Stationary Printer, 13-videobooth, 14-Jeweler for our custom rings

I am having two family members play violin for our ceremony, we are doing a bunch of DIY decor, but having someone come in for draping. Buying our own plate settings for kosher meals, our venue is all inclusive so provides the main caterer and main rentals, we are providing kosher part and the additional comforts rentals

More than 13:

* Officiant.

* Three venues (four if you count the accommodations for ourselves and our guests): Synagogue, restaurant for luncheon afterwards, venue for at-home reception.

* Florist.

* Wedding dresses.

* Alterations person.

* Ketubah artist.

* Two hair and make-up people (one for ceremony and luncheon, one for at-home reception).

* Photographer.

* Someone to prepare food for the at-home reception.

Beyond that, it depends on whom you count as a vendor. The places from which we bought linens? Utensils, plates, and glasses? Decorations? Materials to make invitations, programs, thank you cards, etc.? The kippot (yarmulkes) we provided to ceremony guests? Supplies for signs? The frame, material, and sashes I used to make the chuppah (wedding canopy)? The pizza and sodas we ordered in for the welcome dinner? The groceries for the morning after breakfast? Gifts for the attendants? The office from which we got our marriage license, and the court that waived the three-day waiting period? Nail salon? Opera gloves? Jewelry?

Under! So far we have 6 vendors I think. We only need hair and makeup yet!
