How to do start the conversation with a vendor you are disappointed with?

Olivia, on October 7, 2019 at 8:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

I'm trying to figure out how to reach out and talk to the DJ/photobooth company before posting a review. We had an unfortunate experience, general inattentiveness to details that came into play for announcements and such, but also mic batteries dying in the middle of speeches and not having a functioning back up, not being prepared to announce the grand march, announcing that dinner was beginning 30 minutes late (and only because the caterer came and found me to ask if the timeline had changed). We sent music we really wanted to have played in advance to the company, but we had to request 3 different times that he play it before he admitted he didn't know what songs to play. The photobooth attendant also sat in the back on his phone and only helped every couple times people came in.

I know in the big scheme of things these are by no means the end of the world, they didn't ruin the night or anything. We still had an amazing time and are so excited to be married, but we feel like they did not put in the effort that their reviews and communications with us indicated they would.


Hoping someone can give me advice on how to start a conversation with the vendor so I don't blindside them with a poor review.


Thank you in advance!

    I'm so sorry to hear these unfortunate event happened at your wedding! I would be very unhappy too! I would tell them that you had some conerns you wanted to address or talk to a supervisor about your experience

    I would be upfront right away with it, but make sure to use a polite tone and wording. Tell them exactly what happened and they may even give you a partial refund. Also, I would make sure to end the conversation with something(s) that went well with them so that it's not just negative feed back.

    I would write your review and let me know before you post it what you are posting and why. I think they deserve to know for the future why you didn't like what they did. They sound unprofessional.

    I agree, I would send them a "copy" of the review and explain why you are posting it!
