Ladies,
I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but the director for my venue has blown me off---again.
First of all, I think we all agree that if we decide to have a wedding at a venue, they should try and accommodate the couple as best as possible. The venue we signed our contract is actually a vineyard. Just a little while ago, I requested to speak to the director, and she responded that she wouldn't be in because she was in a meeting with 8 other wineries...she'd MAYBE call me tomorrow morning. This isn't the first time something like this happened tho.
A while back when my mom and I were scheduled to meet with her, the owner AND the chef about menus, we had planned for a Thursday evening, but we were told it had to be cancelled because the chef could not be located...So we re-scheduled for that following Sat. Even when we started scoping the place out in the beginning, I naturally had all types of questions, but I couldn't get a hold of the lady because she's busy, and she promised me that after she was done with the "big project" then she would have our full attention...but yet I still have to wait about 1.5 wks to hear back from her via email...sorta like I'm pushing her to get in contact with me....WTF?? Is this normal?
Anyway, how can a business treat a wedding, a couple, like as if they werent' important? I'm tired of getting told that they have much more important business with something else! I know that I'm not an important winery, but if they're offering their services for wedding receptions, then they should pay as much attention to us as they do anyone else who's paying them dollars like we are....or am I wrong? :bbcry:
