wedding planning pet peeve (vent...sorry!)
So far, wedding planning has been wonderful and fun! The ONE thing that really bothers me is when I contact a vendor or potential vendor and they do not get back to me!
When I first started planning, there was a particular florist I really was interested in using. She had a 'contact me' section on her website that I think I filled out 3 times and she never replied to me. I could have called her after this, but I was like, really? The last thing I need is a vendor who is difficult to get in touch with. If you're not going to check your email from the website, then take that section of your website down! I ended up going with a different florist, one who got back to me the same day I contacted them.
Now, I am currently waiting on THREE different people to get back to me. Two of them are affiliated with the church I am using. I called and left a vm for the lady who sets up pre-cana last week and she hasn't returned my call. I emailed a deacon about Foccus TWICE now and he hasn't gotten back to me. And last but not least, I made a makeup trial for next Tuesday and then emailed the mu artist 2 days ago to ask if it would be alright if I rescheduled to a week later because of a dr.'s appt. It's like, really? Can't you just email me back to let me know it's alright or it isn't so I know what I'm doing???
I realize I'm not the focal point of these people's universe, but it's just the professional thing to get back to people in a timely manner and honestly, on our big day, we need to have reliable vendors. Grrrrrr! I'm sorry for the vent, everyone, but I had to get it out!!!![]()
