I am honored and understand the responsibility we accept when a location has us on their PREFERRED VENDOR lists. You can be taken off as quickly as you may have been put on (and over the years I have seen that happen). Nothing about being placed on the lists below was quick for us, we paid our dues by being seen at the properties working hard and as a team and having happy couples/families after and being in the industry for a long time. As a bride told me, she asked how vendors got on the list of that property and was told ‘they can’t pay their way on, they must earn it’.
Here are some of the hotels in the OC that cover a range of bride’s style and budget whose preferred vendor lists we are on:
Ritz-Carlton Dana Point (Laguna Niguel) – 11 years on the preferred list
St Regis Monarch Beach – since the day the hotel opened
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach – since the day the hotel opened
Hyatt Regency Newport Beach – around 5 years
As a note, I am the only co-ordinator on all five lists, others are on 1 or 2, maybe 3 of the lists, but I am on all 5.
I am always pleasantly suprised to find out I am on other hotel/wedding location lists, and I know there is a variety of properties out there whose lists I am on, or a location/hotel has suggested to the bride/mom/groom to call me, especially when with most of these properties you are not required to have a co-ordinator.
If we can assist you with your planning/celebration, don’t hesitate to call or email. It would be our pleasure
