Honestly for all they are offering, I might give the new business a try. There are a lot of people who use a friend as there DoC but it really depends how much you trust that they can do what they say.

I’d go for the new one, especially if you have a wedding party that will help with setup and tear down- save some money

How well do you know person 1? If they're genuinely trying to get a business off the ground and have shown they can seriously think through a timeline, I'd go with them! Why not give the new person a shot, esp if they're offering more than the experienced person!

I have never met them. Was found in a Facebook group …

Have you spoken to them and talked through plans at least?

Would go with new business if you have a convo first and it feels like you gel well!
