The Ultimate Vendor Checklist for Wenatchee Weddings
So, you’ve found your dream venue—or maybe you’re crafting it yourself. Whether it’s a family orchard, a scenic hillside, or a backyard with the best view in town, Wenatchee is full of spots waiting to be transformed into the wedding of your dreams.
But with a DIY or outdoor venue comes a little extra work. That's where the right vendors come in to save the day, making everything easier and way more fun. Here’s your go-to wedding vendor checklist (with local recommendations!) to help make planning smooth, stress-free, and, most importantly, fun.
1. Restrooms (Trust us—it matters)
When you’re tying the knot at a venue without restrooms, a luxury restroom trailer is an absolute game changer. Luxury Loo offers clean, stylish, climate-controlled trailers that feel more like boutique hotel bathrooms than anything you’d expect at an outdoor wedding.
2. Wedding Planner or Day-of Coordinator
Even if you’re a DIY queen, having someone to run the show on the big day is priceless.
