calls from vendors

since booking my reception at the north ritz club, i have been getting phone calls from their 'preferred vendors'. and i thought the emails from the liweddings site were annoying... anyone else have this problem?

Re: calls from vendors

i got some calls as well ... i think you just gotta 'deal' with it. i found most of them to be very nice and accepting when i say im not interested - or i say 'i havent gotten to flowers yet, but when i do i'll give you a call' (regardless of the truth!). also, it has died down A LOT in the last month or so (i booked north ritz in late may).

Re: calls from vendors

When we first booked our reception hall, we got calls from almost all of their house vendors. Made appointments to meet a couple of them, told some that we'll call if we need them. I didn't find anyone to be annoying or harassing. In a few weeks, they completely died down.

My FH and I went to see one hall which we did not like. So obviously, did not book. But that didn't stop them from giving out our names. That bothered me alot.

Re: calls from vendors

Boy di dwe have that problem. We also got tons of junk in the mail. Now that our wedding is over we haven't gooten one phone call, email, or junk mail. I guess they had our wedding date on file too.

Re: calls from vendors

Yes, it happens after you book your hall. Most are plesant and ok to deal with, but some keep calling.

I had one dj who kept calling me and calling me even after I told him I already booked someone else. He still kept calling and my dad finally told him 'We got Barbara Striesand to sing at the wedding. She's a friend of my wife's. They went to school together'. He never called back again.

Sometimes you have to be creative to get some of them off your back!

Re: calls from vendors

Hmmm, I don't get any junk emails, regular mail or phone calls.

The only calls or mail I receive are from vendors that I directly contacted or when I used Respond.com.

Guess I got lucky planning from out of state! No one wants to make long distance phone calls!

Re: calls from vendors

I had a horrible time with this in the very beginning. You can put on your machine, 'We have selected all of our wedding vendors so please take us off your list'. After a while the calls stop. The hall gives out your name to their 'preferred' vendors.

Re: calls from vendors

I know, I called the North Ritz Club about this because I did not give them permission to give my phone #to their vendors. They told me that they did not give out my number. After I told them that every vendor that calls says 'we are the preferred vendor of the NRC', they finally said that they only gave it to their preferred vendors. I was getting about two phone calls a day for awhile.

Yes and when I hear its them, I hang up!
I think they get the idea because they haven't called back.

Re: calls from vendors

fh called nrc yesterday and spoke with jenny and asked that she not give our phone number out. she called each of the vendors and asked them to stop calling us at home. i thought that was nice of her, so we'll see what happens.
