This is more of a rant but advice also appreciated. We started planning our wedding around July time. Mostly it's been fine and we've managed to source some (hopefully) great vendors.
Our venue has always been really poor at communicating and replying, but I put this down to time of year/Covid, and lack of experience on their part, and we booked anyway because the place was really right for us.
Over the last few weeks the lack of response from vendors is really getting me down. We want to get everything firmed up, deposits paid, so we can get everything finalised and get our budget on track ready for our September 2022 wedding.
I'm a stickler for good communication and customer service because of my job, and I've tried to be patient but honestly the lack of responses is making me worried and making the process frustrating, and a bit upsetting, and is taking off the shine.
At this point, our venue hasn't replied for nearly 4 weeks in confirming our second October viewing for finalising things. The post-wedding venue we want to have a reception at a couple of days later said they'd send paperwork to get things finalised, that was 7 weeks ago (I've chased in between). The caterer we liked the look of has had 2 emails, and taken 2 of my calls over the last 4 weeks, but just said she's busy, and hasn't replied when she said she would.
Some vendors have been great, but they're the minority. I'm tired. I'm tired of chasing people, emailing, worrying. I feel like a couple of weeks extra to respond in the current climate seems reasonable, but we're at 4-7 weeks with some. Is this just me being impatient?
