How We Verify Vendors

Because your wedding deserves vendors who actually show up, follow through, and deliver magic.

At North Georgia Wedding Magazine, we don’t just list anyone. Every featured vendor goes through a multi-step verification process designed to protect couples and make our directory trustworthy from the ground up.

Business Identity Check

  • We confirm the vendor’s legal business name, location, and online presence.
    This includes:

    • Website review

    • Social media confirmation

    • Business registration (if available)

    • Consistency across platforms
      Because if your Instagram says “est. 2014” and your website says “est. 2021,” baby… we’re going to ask questions.

Portfolio + Work Quality Review

We evaluate recent work to ensure vendors meet professional standards.
We look at:

  • Quality of photography/video samples

  • Style consistency

  • Professional editing and presentation

  • Real weddings vs. styled shoots
    Pretty pictures are cute, but consistent work is everything.

Reputation & Customer Feedback

We check reviews across multiple platforms for patterns of behavior.
We look at:

  • Google reviews

  • Facebook reviews

  • Public client feedback

  • Responses to negative reviews
    A single bad review isn’t disqualifying — but ignoring clients? Absolutely not.

Professional Conduct Check

We reach out (when needed) to confirm:

  • Responsiveness

  • Professional communication

  • Pricing transparency

  • Contract availability
    Vendors who answer emails like they’re allergic to keyboards? Yeah, they don’t make the cut.

Industry Involvement

We confirm whether they:

  • Work with other known vendors

  • Attend expos

  • Participate in styled shoots

  • Maintain partnerships
    Because community matters — and real professionals stay connected.

Ongoing Review

Verification isn’t a one-time event.
We recheck vendors periodically to make sure they remain active, reputable, and consistent.

If something changes, we address it.
If a vendor levels up, we celebrate it.
If a vendor ghosts their clients… well… they disappear from our platform too.
