I've just started emailing/calling vendors and I'm having a lot of trouble getting caterers to respond to me.
Venues get back to me in hours, bridal salons in minutes, and only a couple of caterers will even get back to me with a few general questions.
So far only 2 or 3 have responded and one was with an incredibly unprofessional response (one line, no greeting, all grammatically incorrect, and not very reassuring).
The one that has been most responsive also seems to be very expensive so I would like to get some other estimates, but I can't if people won't freaking get back to me.
