197: Should You Call Your Late Vendor? 4 Wedding Planners Answer

How many times do you expect to email one of your wedding vendors before you get a reply? If you've got a coordinator, someone else is keeping count for you. But if you don't, you're the one deciding whether the non-response is normal or a red flag.  I asked four full-service wedding planners, who also oversee each wedding day onsite themselves, 3 questions:  1. When is too long to wait on an email response?  2. What actually happens if a vendor cancels the week of your wedding?  3. When is a late vendor on the day something to worry about?  Their answers might surprise you. And if you haven’t booked a full-service planner or a day-of/month-of coordinator, I'm also giving you the 5 steps you need to take to cover that gap yourself.  RESOURCES Emily Clarke from The Modern Approach [https://themodernapproach.com.au/] The Modern Approach on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themodernapproach_/ Kelly Stephenson from Found Collective Events [https://foundcollective.com.au/] Found Collective Events on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foundcollectiveevents/ Nicole Bailey from Your Event Plannery [https://www.youreventplannery.com.au/] Your Event Plannery on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youreventplannery/ Laura Shepherd from Couture Events Worldwide [https://coutureeventsworldwide.com/] Couture Events Wordwide on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coutureeventsworldwide/ Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast *The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
