Rant - Venue won’t respond

Something you need to be prepared for not just with this venue but all vendors is that it is not entirely uncommon to be waiting days if not weeks before you receive a response to your correspondence.

Whether it be because it is a busy time of year, the vendor has set times for answering correspondence or so forth, there are many different reasons why vendors may not respond within hours (or a day) of receiving an email, so just give it time and follow up after a reasonable period if you haven't received a response.

Good luck!

Do keep in mind that this is still the time of year when people can get sick, or an emergency may have arisen.

I definitely agree with the others: If you can, be mindful of time frames BUT do not settle for mediocre service ESPECIALLY communications.

Do double and triple check spelling of addresses and see if phone numbers are up to date and correct.

When my fiancé and I were ready to book (but we are planning over a year in advance) and didn't hear back for two weeks, I left one voice mail for each phone number provided, and then I sent an email with the heading, " (Last Name + (Last Name) Ready to Book for (our date)".

Ready to book means that the $ is ready for them, and is minimal effort on their part.

I explained what I did, and that I couldn't get a hold of them, and then stopped planning for a bit.

About a week and change after this, I got an email back from the coordinator who had a medical procedure done. She was very grateful to have our business, and was flexible when it came to answering follow-up questions so we could secure a date.

Sometimes a little patience goes a long way.
