68 | Wedding Pro GREEN Flags: What Makes Me Excited to Refer a Vendor

We talk a lot about red flags in the wedding industry… but what about the green flags?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the vendor green flags that make me so excited to work with someone again and again. These are the qualities I noticed when I looked at my own preferred vendors list — the traits that every single one of them has in common.

If you want to know what makes planners (and other vendors) eager to refer you, this episode is for you.

Side note: the audio isn’t quite as polished this time (the wrong mic picked up my audio, woops!) — but the message is too good not to share. Thanks for sticking with me!

• Why clear communication and solid systems are non-negotiable green flags.


• The kind of energy that puts couples, families, and vendors at ease.


• How excellence and consistency in service build trust (and why professionalism matters on wedding day).


• Why referring vendors is a risk for planners — and how you can make them confident in recommending you.


• The importance of being a true team player: helping out, tagging vendors, and celebrating each other’s work.


• Why sustainability and boundaries matter more than bragging about being booked every weekend.


• How community-minded vendors build stronger, lasting relationships.
