Catering quotes

MetalBride, 10 April, 2017 at 16:20 Posted on Planning 0 4

How long should I be waiting for a quote for catering? What is reasonable? I emailed my preferred provider 5 days ago and am getting a little impatient now as I haven't even received an email to acknowledge receipt of my request.

    No experience as my catering is included with the venue package, but I'd say 5 days with no response is poor form. Definitely chase it up, i would forward the original email and add a note, "Hi, just following up to check if you'd received the below email as I have not yet had a response? I look forward to receiving my quote and further information about your services"

    Agree with PP - just give them a nudge. Or call them

    My caterers do seem to be a bit slow to respond to stuff - a couple of things it might be is that I know a lot of them take their 'summer holidays' now because they generally can't take much time off in wedding season, or it might be that the beginning of the week is treated like their weekend as they'd normally work every Saturday & Sunday.

    I know how frustrating it is - I think I'd chase after the weekend!

    Mine took ages to get back to me and I almost went with another but turns out they were just really busy. Maybe just give them a nudge. I ended up booking them and they gave the best quote

    It's more amusing than that, turns out the guy who got my email has known me for nearly 12years from the local nightclub scene and wanted to check if he was OK to deal with the quote! I had no idea he worked on the wedding side now, I thought he was restaurant only! Bless him ?
