This list is to help you jumpstart your own planning. We do not require you to use any specific vendors. You are also free to choose vendors that are not listed. Each category of vendors is meant to give you an idea of the types of services some couples choose to bring in—you might only bring one or two types of vendors, it’s all up to you.
Vendors marked with an asterisk (*) have worked a wedding at Monarch Valley before. This list is intended to help your planning and should not be seen as a recommendation or endorsement on behalf of Monarch Valley. Please do your own research to ensure vendors are right for you.
