What was the hardest vendor to book?

I know a lot of 07ers have all our vendors booked now, so throughout the whole process, which vendor was the hardest to book and why?

I'm not 100% done yet, but I definitely vote limos. I called sooooo many companies, went to see a handful, and I just got a bad feeling from so many of them. There was not ONE single company that had the car that I want (a rolls and a 14 pass lincoln) AND a salesperson/owner that I liked!

I was skunked by Coachman (offered 1 price, changed that offer, claiming the guy that gave me the price wasn't authorized to do so).

I was put on by another guy in New Hyde Park - the woman that answers the phone told me that a specific car would be there for me to view at the time of my appointment...it took me AN HOUR to get there....we have to walk a few blocks to a dark cramped garage to view the cars, and what do you know, the cars I wanted to see were not there. He offered to me a dinged up Caddy, and a Lincoln that smelled like vomit instead. GROSS! I still wanted to see the cars, but lo and behold, they 'didn't have them' the whole following week. He called me yesterday to tell me that he *MIGHT* have them next week if I want to drive an hour out of my way to see them again. pffffffft! Honestly, the guy was a nice guy, but office was a filthy chimney. I have a severe smoke allergy, and the owner didn't even offer to ask his receptionist to stop smoking! Soooooo inconsiderate. I don't know how a businessman expects to sucessfully sell his product when he can WRITE THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS IN THE DUST ON HIS DESK. ew ew ew!

A guy from Lynbrook told me that he'd bring the Rolls to ME, because he had a wedding in the area - I waited at our designated meeting spot for 45 minutes past our meeting time, but he never showed, never called, nothing.

I called all of the LIW vendors, and the 'bigger names' were soooo expensive - I'm talking DOUBLE what I should've been offered. To me, ITS JUST TRANSPORTATION! I don't need the fancy stuff! (I used to work for a limo company, I know what they should go for.)

I had a bad experience with Manny's attitude at a bridal event several months ago, so I had ruled Royalty out entirely. A few weeks ago, I ended up calling them again, this time speaking with Joe. Joe was very nice, very fair in his pricing, and the car I wanted (1958 rolls) was in good shape and didn't smell like vomit. woohoo! I booked with Royalty.

......and my fingers are crossed!!!!
