Weddingbee boards

I had a lot of trouble working things out with my caterer. I'd call the office and the girl who answered the phones said that I needed to talk to whoever was the chef. I was panicking because we were still trying to book him maybe 6 weeks before the wedding. I'm trying to remember the exact timeline.

In my case, it worked because the caterer was available and could do what we wanted, but if he kept "missing my calls" and being out of touch for 2 weeks that close to the wedding it would have been a disaster if I needed to book someone else!

I'd say just push to talk to these caterers when you can and let the last person you mentioned know that you were expecting their call. Say, "I was expecting to hear from Sue on Monday and I'm calling to follow up on discussing my wedding..." I think you'll be fine, just put in some more work! If someone is suspiciously flaky, you can cut them loose -- I know my experience speaks to the contrary but I'd say if they don't want to talk to you they don't want/ deserve your business.
