Hi everyone!
I'm in the early stages of wedding planning where I'm sending out inquiries for a date 2 years away. So far, I seem to either get a response almost immediately (or within 24-48 hours) -- or no response at all a week to a month later.
For the ones that I haven't received a response from, I've messaged some again through other methods (WW, email, contact forms on their website, etc.). I definitely understand that this is a hectic industry and people go on vacation and such, but how long do you wait for a vendor reply before crossing them off and moving on?
A friend told me that if a vendor is ignoring you, they probably already have your date booked. I'm not really sure if that's the case because I did have one reach back out to me to let me know that my requested date wasn't available, and asked if I had flexibility.
Another friend suggested calling, but I sort of want to be able to work with someone who is responsive via email since that works best with my schedule.
What are your experiences with vendor responsiveness? I'm wondering if my expectations are just off and I should give people more time. Thank you!
