The short version
- Couples hire people they trust. Show your work, your process and your face before they ever call.
- Open dates and booking timelines make decisions easier for a nervous couple.
- Credit the other vendors. Referrals are most of a wedding business.
- 3 posts a week is plenty: one piece of work, one planning tip, one behind the scenes.
A couple has a date, a budget and a spreadsheet of 40 vendors. They narrow it down by checking each Facebook Page for recent work and a friendly face. If yours stopped last wedding season, you drop off the sheet.
Wedding work shows well and sells on trust. Here are 18 wedding vendor social media post ideas that work for photographers, planners, DJs, bakers and the rest. Swap in your craft and use them as written. A venue will love to be tagged, and our event venue post ideas show how they post.
What a wedding vendor post needs to do
A couple is trusting you with one day that can't be repeated. Your posts should make them feel calm.
- Show a real piece of work, in good light.
- Name your open dates and the best time to book.
- Say what's included and how you work.
- Tag the venue and other vendors, with their OK.

Rain plan

Feed your vendors
A small thing that helps a lot: a meal for your vendors. We work 8 hours or more and a plate keeps us at our best.
