Sorry a little long.. but what's your honest opnion.. Ok so me and FH went to a bridal show tonite and one of the vendors we booked were there. So we walked past the booth to say hi and they clearly had no recollection of who we were, so we kept moving. Later on, we were next to the booth again and they asked our friends if they got the info our friend said yea, our friends here booked you guys. And the vendor looked at us and were like oh yea you guys looked kind of familiar (still didn't know who we were). Keep in mind we sat down with both guys for over an hour at two different meetings only a few weeks ago. So I was slightly offended but my FH was really offended and pissed off. We didnt expect them to necessarily remember our names or anything but at least slightly remember that we were someone they've seen before. what do you girls think? Are we overreacting?

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
How long ago did you book with them? I would imagine they see SOOO many couples... it is a business. I don't think it is a huge deal. JMO

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
I know to us brides it seems like 'how could they not remember us' but if they are a large company, they are handling lots of clients so of course they wont remem everyone.... unless there is something spectacular about the client or they somehow can match your face to something that stands out in their minds, IMO, i wouldnt hold it against them

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
Honestly, it's not a big deal. I meet with people every day, and you remember the face, or you remember the facts, but putting them together is nearly impossible until that's the client you're focusing on. Unless a client's case is in 'full swing' (lots of activity) or the final event (trial) is soon, then other clients are more in the forefront. If you're wedding were in the next few weeks, you'd be on their minds, but it's not, and it's not an insult. You should probably be glad they're so busy!! If I called my DJ and he recognized my voice, or if I ran into him and he knew me, I'd worry how few people he'd seen in the past few weeks (considering he does events for hundreds of people). Don't stress.

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
I'm terrible remembering people. I do a lot of interviews for my job and by the time they walk out of my office I couldn't identify them in a lineup or even remember their name! So, I wouldn't get offended. They do meet a lot of couples.

i understand why you're offended, but that wouldn't be enough to make my forfeit my deposit and start the DJ search all over again.
i wouldnt be offended...they see so many people a day its crazy....if you go to the Fm thread for example...look how many liw brides are booked! can you imageine how many others there are then? I think you should give them a break...

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
I know that I am one of those people who wants to think that every vendor cares as much about my wedding as I do, and that they are sitting in their office right now, trying to think of ways to make my night even more special, but the reality is, it's their job and they have tons of weddings a year. After a while, I'm sure every starry eyed couple, looks the same, and they have the same conversations with everyone, over and over. Just being realistic. I wouldn't let it bother you!

I wouldn't get offended enough to cancel them. Yes the made a clear that a really know their client but I would not hold it against them. I would speak to them an express your concerns and use it to you advantage see if they will give some extras to your package. They will remember then!!!

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
i just think they see a lot of clients this time of year since it's wedding season that they may have just forgotten. i don't remember all my clients even if i saw them 2 days ago. i wouldn't take it personally. JMO.

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
I would feel kind of bad that they didn't remember me but I wouldn't be that offended to cancel them. They are probably a HUGE company and see tons of people all the time.

I dont think it was done on purpose. If they are popular they probably meets with a ton of people and cant possibly remember everyone.

I understand how you feel since you just recently met with them, but I wouldn't take any offense to it. I'm sure they meet with so many people, it has to be difficult to remember everyone. I have to say that I was completely surprised when I visited WM recently that a few people remembered who we were - I definitely wasn't expecting that. So, don't worry!

Re: Opinion on Possibe Vendor Rant?
Thanks girls!! For all your feedback! I just needed to vent a little..We're so not the couple that wants to be recognized and remembered by all.. lol..but this was one vendor we sat down with for such a long time and really talked too.. I felt like we were overreacting but i just had to get it out! Thanks for 'listening'!!
