need your advice

I have some days off from work and i would like to finish booking my major vendors. I have a lot left:
DJ
Church
Video
florist
STD
Invitations
How should I go about doing this?
I have already emailed some flower places you ladies recommended to me and I have heard nothing back. (Verbena and Hidden Essence)
I have e-mailed a bunch of Dj's. My problem is that most of the Dj's are very far from me (im in eastern suffolk)
I have spoken to 2 videophotogrpahers and are waiting for them to send me demo's
I am clueless on where to start with churches
I think Im going to DIY my STD and invites.
Any help would be appreciated
TIA

Re: need your advice

If you're looking for immediate responses, I recommend calling over emailing. A lot of vendors are extremely busy and might find it hard to respond to their email frequently. I know when I email Jen at Verbena, it typically takes a while to get a response. I think you should call the florists and DJ's and start making appointments. As far as the Church, is your reception far from the Church you grew up going to?

Edited because I saw you're getting married at Larkfield Manor, which is far from where you live. I recommend calling around to Churches in that area. If it were me, I'd make the Church the top priority right now.

I agree calling them is better.

Re: need your advice

i would say you need to book your church first, that is the most important. if you know which church you want, you need to call and make an appt with the priest. if you don't know, i would ask your RH for a list of churches in the area. we booked the RH hall first, then the church, and i am currently working on our STDs to send them out by the end of the month. we haven't done anything else!!! if you need info on my DIY Save the dates, let me know!! i also plan on making my own invites!
