Checklist for meeting your suppliers
Supplier Questions Checklist
The right questions for every supplier of your wedding in Italy, so each conversation is clear and each contract is signed with confidence.
Instant access by email after secure card payment.
What you forget to ask often matters most
Talking to suppliers in another country, sometimes in another language, is not always easy. Calls go quickly, quotes look similar, and the important details only appear later.
With the right questions prepared in advance, every meeting becomes calmer and every offer becomes easier to compare.
Quotes that look alike but include different things, questions you only think of after the call, details discovered after signing, not knowing what is normal to ask in Italy.
What is inside the checklist
Questions grouped by supplier, taken from the suppliers module our team uses in real planning.
01
Questions for the venue
What to clarify about spaces, timings, exclusivity and what is really included.
02
Photographer and videographer
Style, coverage, delivery and the practical points worth confirming in writing.
03
Florist and decor
How to talk about your vision, set-up, removal and the elements that affect cost.
04
Catering and cake
Menu, tastings, dietary needs, service and timing on the day.
05
DJ or band, beauty and transport
Music, hair and make-up, and transport, each with its own focused questions.
06
What to compare before signing
A calm final check so you can weigh offers side by side before committing.
How planning feels with the right questions
You lead each conversation
You arrive at every call and meeting prepared, with your questions grouped by supplier, so conversations are shorter, clearer and far more useful for both sides.
You compare like with like
Asking the venue, photographer, florist and caterer the same essential questions makes their offers truly comparable, even when quotes look alike but include different things.
You sign with confidence
Important details about timings, inclusions and delivery are clarified before the contract, not discovered after, so you sign each agreement with a calm and settled mind.
You feel at ease with Italian suppliers
You know what is natural and normal to ask in Italy, so conversations with Italian suppliers feel easy and respectful, even when you are planning from far away.
You save time and energy
With the right questions asked the first time, there are fewer follow-up emails, fewer surprises after signing and more calm for the two of you.
Why we created it
Why we created this checklist
Best Luxury Events was founded by Marina Mătăsaru, who has been planning weddings in Italy since 2014. Together with her team, she accompanies couples from around the world in more than 13 Italian regions.
Over the years, we have learned which questions make the difference when choosing suppliers. We gathered them into one checklist, so you can have the same clarity in your own conversations.
