Why do so many Wedding vendors have to be dishonest or unscrupulous?
Had a guy doing some draping for the reception, called about a deposit, got all pissy talking about late fees etc. I said:
1. I ALREADY paid you a deposit, you aren't BUYING anything for this even you are providing a SERVICE.
2. You are the lax, chill, "oh yeah just pencil it in on the contract." guy before.
3. If I pay you the full amount in advance, what guarantee do I have that you'll even show up the day of?
He told me to **** off, said he'd send my money back.
Oh well, I've got two other companies that would like to do business with me. Two other companies that appear a lot more organized, honest, and up front than this guy.
Now let me tell you about the dress shop...
It's a two store, kinda local chain, deal. Julia ordered all of the dresses from their store out in Antioch back in October. Store in Antioch "moves" and then doesn't re-open.
March comes (when the dresses are supposed to be delivered), nothing. Call the store in Burlingame, "oh they had delays, they'll be in by April." We call...excuses...we call...excuses...etc. Needless to say, bridesmaids dresses showed up LAST WEEK, and the bride's dress is nowhere to be found..."it's on its way..."
I am soo fed up with this wedding stuff. I feel like I need a posse to go talk with every person we have to deal with.
Save me guys!
