Recommended Local Vendors
Over the years I have come across some fantastic vendors. And in the interest of making sure you get the best experience possible for your event needs, I wanted to share those vendors with you. Some of these I have worked with at events or have seen the work they do, some I have actually hired myself for my own needs. I hope that you find this list helpful and hopefully you find the perfect vendor for your event. If you do, let them know Photography by Kait sent you!
