Is my top venue ignoring me? ):

Oops.. posted without finishing by accident... Don’t know how to edit. Anyway, I responded on Saturday stating I was interested and upon confirmation of my date being available would like to schedule a tour. After too much back and forth on Saturday, via email trying to schedule a date and time to tour, I requested for someone to please call me so that we can schedule something and clarify a few of my questions... It’s end of day Wednesday and I haven’t received a phone call. Should I reach out again? I feel like I’m chasing them but I’m not sure that I should feel that way... Do I give them one more go? I love the look of the venue and I’m not finding any others that really tug my heartstrings the way this one does ): but I really don’t need an inattentive venue.

Do they have a number where you could just call them directly?

You should call them.

Trying to email back and forth to a wedding venue on a Saturday isn't going to get you anywhere. They would likely be pretty busy with current weddings.

Give them a call on an off day.

You need to be the pursuer here - if they are a popular venue they don't need to chase the business - you need to take the lead.

Reach out to them.

When we were in the earlier stages of planning we never reached out with questions on a Thursday-Saturday. We were sure our emails or voicemails would get lost or forgotten about since those days are spent catering to that weekend's weddings. I'd try to reach out today, but definitely again on Monday if you don't talk to anyone.

One of my potential vendors informed me that he doesn't take any inquiry serious until the couple actually speaks to them. A lot of these e-mails/fill-out forms are filled with spam inquiries. So depending on the vendor, they may just be distant until the know for sure that you're a real inquiry.

So, as others have said, give them a call.

Forgot to mention I called and left a voicemail on Saturday and got an email back. “/ maybe I should call again?

I see. That is true. Maybe because I called and emailed on a Saturday, they were busy and forgot. I’ll try to call again first thing tomorrow. Thanks so much everyone!

I had an inquiry with my dream venue and I had a phone appt with them which they didn’t keep or respond to my emails. I’m basically offering you $10,000 why would you ignore me? But I found another venue that was better anyway. I feel if someone can’t communicate or keep appts I don’t want them planning my wedding.

View Quoted Comment Exactly! If it were my company, I would have circled back on Monday/ Tuesday to make those phone call requests that came in during the weekend when we were busy. I’m just not sure if I’m writing them off too quickly “/

I had a few venues take really long to respond to emails like over a week and I thought the same thing, I'm like uhhh hello do you want my money or no? It makes no sense to me. I understand they are busy actually carrying out weddings. But I feel like they should have separate people setting up consultations versus carrying out the weddings.

My venue doesn't even do this, but we had a switch in the event coordinator due to a health issue in the first one. So we met with her then I emailed her a bunch of stuff reiterating the things we need that I had just verbally/emailed the first one that didn't seem to be "in my file".

I would call

Alot of times, when vendors request your budget and it's not what they expected, theyll ignore you.

Personally I would not like this and would find somewhere else

its fair to give a day or two but 5 and longer isn’t acceptable to me
