You may be tempted to use a friend for some services. Maybe you know someone who bakes a good cake, or who takes excellent pictures. Our advice is DO NOT entrust anything of primary importance to a friend (unless you are prepared to lose your friend).

If you know a friend whom you hear is a good photographer, by all means invite them to take some extra photographs - they may come up with some good pictures. However you must still hire a professional photographer to take the main pictures. If you know someone who bakes an excellent cake, by all means employ them to help with some of the Favours - but hire a professional for the Wedding Cake.

If you know a good singer, invite them to sing a couple of songs but don't make them the primary musician.

Involve friends only in non-primary services and only use established suppliers for the primary services.
