Overbooking

Is anyone worried that their vendors will overbook for their day? I worry and stress about everything, but for some reason I have horrible anxiety over this.

My florist promised that they only booked 2 weddings a day, but who knows. They could say that to everyone. There are many brides getting married on my day so they could say that to everyone.

Just to note, I'm sure your vendors are great, but just to clarify, just because they're LIW vendors, that doesn't necesarrily make them reliable. They are LIW vendors because they pay to advertise and anyone can pay to advertise. What makes vendors reliable is their track record. You shouldn't be iffy about vendors either just because they're not LIW vendors, that just means they didn't pay for an ad here. If you've researched them and seen/heard good things, on top of seeing (or not seeing) their ads here, then you're in good hands.

I'm not too worried about that b/c if we were concerned about how our vendors professionalism was then we wouldn't have booked them. I'm sure you did plenty of research prior to hiring them so try to relax, i'm sure that everything will be fine

I'm sure they're fine. Have you checked on the BBB site to see if they have any complaints or anything?

Re: Overbooking

I honestly think that its something out of my control - so i dont worry about it. I tried to research the reputation of my vendors before booking and i think thats the best you can do!

Re: Overbooking

I'm not really worried. I didn't book any vendors unless I had COMPLETE confidence in them and that they would be able to perform their job the way they should on my wedding day. There were vendors that blew me off, weren't friendly, and even though people recommended them, I didn't feel comfortable with them and I think that is so important.
