Vendors taking a while to respond

View quoted message

Oh wow! Yes, definitely move onto somebody who actually has time for you. I would be panicking if I were you!

View quoted message Yeah!! My florist too. But I’m going to just cut to another one because I’m getting married next month... don’t even have flowers!

I did email some vendors and if i didn't get a response within some time, i called others while searching. When the company decided to get back to me, i just knew it wouldn't be affordable with them. This happened with most emails sent out.

I've noticed the same thing! Frustrating but I'm learning to be politely persistent too, lol.

Are you sending emails from this site, cause ive found sometimes it takes awhile from this site, so I google the actual company and go onto their website and contact them directly, or even phone them.

Oh, that changes everything. Yes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So keep squeaking, and if they don't get back to you...NEXT!

Yeah I am finding with a few we just moved on after not hearing back for three weeks. The issue is, we live in Calgary & are getting married 3 hours away in a small town of 3,700 people. Vendor pickin's can be slim!

I live in Calgary & our venue is 3 hours away in a small town. Most of our vendors are out there so unfortunately going to the location isn't much of an option.

Good way to put it, thank you!

Erin nailed it with "politely persistent"! Don't be afraid to follow-up!

We actually just had this issue. Our florist would take weeks to respond to emails or messages but would be seen posting daily on social media. I'd give a week tops and then try to contact them again. Persistence pays off, however, sometimes you will find that you need to move along to another vendor.

Would it be possible for you to go directly to their locations and get answers? I'm sure they're overwhelmed with phone calls and emails. I have found that you get the best attention if you show up.

This can happen sometimes. I would say just be politely persistent. We sent follow up emails all the time.
