My venue will not respond.

How have you tried to reach them? Have you called or just emailed?

How many times & how long has it been since they responded? Do they do weddings year round? Calling is always the most efficient way to get in contact.

Try all communication methods: call, text, email. If they still don't respond, give them a final notice that this will be the last time you try to contact them and will be cancelling your contract if they do not get back to you. How long has it been since you tried to reach them?

Or Google?

I don't want to sound sarcastic, because it sounds like you've tried to get in touch, and they aren't being very responsive. But they are a business, and as such, must have a business telephone number.

Even if you have to google them, or get out your yellow pages (I know, old school), that's what you might need to do.

Even though my venue is open for business every day, the coordinator for weddings is only there about 4 days a week, and her schedule rotates, so different days off every month. When I email her, I know it could be 3 or 4 days before she responds, simply because she isn't there every single day. And when she is there, she's often busy with events, and isn't just sitting at her desk ignoring emails.

So, when I really need a question answered more urgently, I call.

Its an hour away. That isn't that far. I would take a drive out there. My venue is 3 hours away and since I booked my venue in June, I visit her and go over things all the time.

As a business they are required to have some kind of business phone number. Get on Google and find one. That's absolutely important. If they continue to avoid your phone calls, drive the hour to meet them face to face. An hour is honestly not that far away - especially when they are playing with your money and your event. Is it convenient? Absolutely not. But neither is dodging you. So make it inconvenient for them and show up in person.
