At the Carolina Inn (Chapel Hill NC) Event Showcase on January 27th, Megan and Jason Gillikin walked around and interviewed 15 couples to get their take on what it's been like to find their vendors, where they're looking, what role social media played (Instagram!), and what they would tell wedding vendors to do differently.  Wedding vendors, this is some easy market research for you!

Couples, setting up your own personal wedding website at Zola is super easy, and it's a great way to tell your guests everything about your wedding (where to stay, if you can bring kids, where you're registered). And couples who go to Zola.com/WeddingsForReal get $50 off your registry!

Thank you to all of the couples who participated, because it couldn't have been easy to randomly be interviewed, but all of these couples were amazing!
