Slow replies from your wedding vendor don’t always mean something is wrong, but they shouldn’t leave you guessing either. On this episode of Weddings Unfiltered, we talk from the vendor side about what good communication should look like. That includes the response times you should be told up front, the timeline milestones every vendor should lay out, and how expectations should be set before the contract is even signed. We also pull back the curtain on why replies slow down when wedding season is in full swing in Buffalo and Western New York, and how to tell a busy vendor from a real red flag. Whether you’re a couple planning a WNY wedding or a vendor who wants fewer anxious emails, this one is for you.Host Information:Heather from Upstate Indie Weddings -https://www.instagram.com/upstateindieweddings/https://www.facebook.com/upstateindieweddingshttps://www.upstateindieweddings.comRon from Buffalo POD - https://www.facebook.com/BuffaloPODhttps://www.instagram.com/buffalopod716/https://www.buffalopod.comDesiree Spencer Photographyhttps://desireespencerphotography.com/https://www.facebook.com/desireespencerphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/desireespencer_photography
