Since my venue takes care of almost everything, I haven't had to deal with outside vendors and their deposits much. Do vendors typically cash the deposit check right away, or just hold onto it as a retainer and cash it at the time services are rendered (or a contract is broken)?
I signed a contract with my photographer electronically and mailed him a check. He did confirm the check was received almost 2 months ago, but it still hasn't been taken out of my account. I emailed him about this once already since it wasn't cashed after 3 weeks and he was out of the country, but said he did get it. He's been back for a few weeks and it still hasn't been taken out.
