Nowadays, it is no longer a surprise to find couples for example appointing videographers from out-of-town to document their wedding. The ease of road travel and the advent of low cost air travel have increased the mobility of such wedding specialists and enabled them to offer their services throughout the country.

When collaborating with 'remote' service providers, ensure the following :

• Do try to meet up for a face-to-face discussion at least once.
  
  
• Keep in constant touch and continuously update service providers on plans.
  
  
• Introduce the 'remote' service provider to your local team of wedding professionals so that they can liaise on coordinating their efforts.
  
  
• Once you have appointed them, have faith in their ability to deliver.

Tip : Put someone in charge of coordinating with 'remote' service providers in the week leading up to your wedding to reduce pressure on yourself.
