Missed Appointments

Wedding couples, please do us vendors a favor? If you make an appointment with a wedding or event vendor, please keep your time with them or call us to cancel. Our time is valuable too!

I can't begin to tell you how many times vendors have come to me complaining about the lack of manners and simply courtesy when it comes to wedding couples and keeping appointments.

We have lives outside of our businesses, so if you call us and want to meet at a time that is convenient for you, we move schedules around to accommodate you whenever possible. A missed appointment is like a slap in the face. We have paid babysitters, missed soccer games, piano lessons, and family dinners to meet with you. When you don't show up we loose money, work time, and respect , not to mention personal time that could have been better spent than sitting in an office or coffee shop.

If we missed an appointment with you, you would be upset and proclaim to the wedding world that we are bad vendors and not to use our services because we don't keep our word. Our names get bandied about on chat room boards and trashed by water coolers in the office. But when you miss an appointment, it is due to the weather, work schedules, car troubles, or just simply forgetfulness.

Now, please don't misunderstand me. I know that we do not live in a perfect world and things happen, but over and over and over again? I can't tell you how many times I have set up appointments with clients only to be stood up many times over. No phone call. No email. No apologies. Nothing.

Please respect my time as much as you do yours. I am more than happy to drive to meet you and rearrange my schedule to accommodate your needs; all I ask is that you please give me the same courtesy and show up. If you have changed your mind, then please call me. I can always use the free time to plan another wedding!
