vendor help

wow. that's rude. no one's responded like that to me! i've booked the reception hall, priest, dj, and photographer/videographer. they all said it was smart to book so early because prices are only going to get more expensive. my photographer/videographer even gave me 2005 prices even though i booked this past January.

Keep looking. You don't want to book vendors who are rude to you!!

congratulations on your engagement and good luck!! i'm sorry people are being so rude to you. planning is supposed to be fun!!

thanks for the encouragement and congratulations to you to!....i guess i was just going to the wrong vendors!
i did book my hall though and they have been great so i am happy about that ...
i figured booking everything now would be smart also ..it's nice to hear that you have done so much already . I am going to start this weekend.
and good luck with everything

sorry you are having such a hard time trying to book your vendors for 2008...that's very rude I have to say..
I've booked our hall,church,Dj,videographer, and photographer...
I'll give some names if it helps.. good luck

DJ- Absolute Enterteinment.

Videographer- Wild rose video.

Photographer- BretMatthews.

hope this makes it easier for you, but honestly you shouldnt be having a hard time booking now for 2008....

Congratulations on your engagement!

Well so far I booked a hall, the church and I met with a DJ - I plan on having all that plus a florist and limos before the end of the summer. I even started looking for dresses!

No one said anything about booking so early - and you are right that is really rude!!

Actually I noticed a few places, like my hall, already had entire weekends filled up with events already!

So start your planning and ENJOY!

thank you and congratulations to you also!

actually that is the place that gave me the biggest problem...the dress shop
they told me to come back in a year! i just wanted to try on some dresses to get some ideas...i will never walk back into there!

OMG, you guys are good!! You have so much stuff done!! I have nothing!! lol

Let them laugh!! Beleive it or not places and vendors are booking up. Especially the good ones! If you want too close you might only get the crappy ones. And the girls are right- you DON'T want vendors that are rude on the phone. That may only be a taste of what they are like!

I dont understand why they would laugh at you. Its really not that far in advance. I'm sure if you were calling some places for an 07 date... they'd laugh at you for thinking they'd still be available. We booked our place back in April for our April 2008 wedding. And he had said it was smart of us to do so. SO far we've only booked the hall, church and dj. I hope to book the photographer./videographer and limo by the end of the year to lock in this years prices, which is a PLUS!! Here are the vendors i've booked

Church- St. Francis of Assisi (Queens)

Hall- Chateau la Mer

DJ- FM entertainment ( I have quotes for them and Unlimited Entertainment if you would like)

Good luck planning and Congrats on your engagement!!!

thanks for all the help ....i will start calling some places this weekend...

OMG, you guys are good!! You have so much stuff done!! I have nothing!! lol

don't feel so bad I haven't really booked anything other than my hall and the church yet either! Though I do plan on doing most of the booking before this year is up!
