Whenever I think about the horror show that is trying to find vendors for your wedding (Can you find them? Can you afford them? Do you like them? Oh wait, can you afford them again?), I always think about that quote from 10 Things I Hate About You that goes, “I know you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be… whelmed?” Because . Right?
This is why a huge portion of what we do at APW is connecting readers with our amazing community of wedding professionals. And why, we’re beyond excited to announce the launch of our brand-new APW vendor directory. We spent the first half of 2017 busting ass with our developers to build the vendor directory of our (and hopefully your) ✨dreams✨. And the reason that’s a big deal is that it’s going to bust open the door for tons more of those connections. Plus it has a bunch of new user-friendly features that are going to make finding your vendors that much easier, like:
HELP US Help Them Help You
We are beyond thrilled to be launching this new tool, but to get it all the way off the ground we’re asking for your help.
I can’t tell you how many wedding vendors our team meets in the wild where we want to shout “YOU NEED TO BE ADVERTISING WITH US” to get the point across about what great clients APW readers make. (We take our job as your hype crew very seriously.) But with the new vendor directory, we can just… hook them up with a listing. DONE.
So readers, share the love and tell your best vendors to sign up for the vendor directory. And if you’re a vendor who’s been kicking around these parts with the idea of signing up with us, but just couldn’t afford to, well, it doesn’t get more affordable than free.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make the APW vendor directory a success since its launch six years ago. It is in no small part thanks to our vendor community and the readers who shop the directory that we were able to make this relaunch possible. Our gratitude goes out to each and every one of you!
