anyone using or did use Saratoga Photobooth? VENT

Is this guy NOT the hardest person to get ahold of or what? We have had this booked for well over a year (its our favors) and he is impossible to get at. My mom (who lives local, I do not) even went over to the guys place and talked to him in person to make sure he was still in business. So, here we are two weeks out and he wont return emails of phonecalls. I know he is a busy guy, and I know he runs this out of his house...but we need to finalize the personalization, the time of the photobooth and other questions.... Should I go to his house again? Last weekend one of the girls my mom works with said he didnt show up because "one was broken." He never even called them in the morning. He has six booths and said she just "wasnt one of the ones who was getting one.." What a nightmare! The crappy thing is, is that he is the ONLY one around between NY and VT and there is no other competition, so he can be a jerk. I need answers, but I dont want to tick him off and not show up...what to do? Anyone else had troubles?

    I know I totally just talked to you anyway, but I just wanted to say once again - what a jerk!I DID deal with him about two years ago and he seemed good then.  Sounds like it has gone downhill since.GL Casey!

    I didn't hire him as a vendor - but I did recently attend a wedding with them there and it was fabulous!  Everyone had a great time with the photobooth and they showed up ontime and there were no issues.  I know this doesn't help you directly but atleast you can hope it'll work out in the end.

    I recently went to the wedding show at Franklin Plaza and there were two vendors there that did photo magnets which may be just as fun if you want to look in to another option.

    He isn't the only game in town- try fotomag4u.com or themagnetman.com- both of them were at the wedding show at Franklin Plaza, both of them told me they would travel to my northern lake george venue. I personally would not work with a vendor I had to chase all over the place. There are too many other options out there, and most of them are anxious to please their couples. Good luck!

    Thanks Ladies! He wrote back the other day, assuring us that he would be there with the lighter booth. There are still some unanswered questions....so here we go again! But, at least I am a little relieved!

    I hope everything works out for you.  Let us know how it goes as we're considering this if our budget allows.
