Ya'll I am about to go off on one of my wedding vendors. A few weeks ago FI and I were getting our passports when this lady that works there gave me the number of her neighbor that she said does wedding linens. I contacted the lady and she told me her & her sister do weddings and provide linens (all of them) for 125. I'm like cool and I asked if she did decor. Since we have all of our stuff I just needed someone to set it up. She said they could do that. I asked for a price all she kept saying was it's very cheap, cheaper than what you would normally pay.
Well I never got a definite price quote until two weeks later after I visited one of her setups. She tells me 500 to decorate church & reception. The church will already be decorated so I asked what was pricing just for reception. She told me she would contact me friday (not this past friday the one prior to that). Friday comes and goes never hear from her, mind you I told her when she contacted me Friday we could schedule a day and time for me to come pay deposit. I follow-up with her through text the next Wednesday. I don't hear anything back from her until this morning.
She proceeds to tell me since she hasn't heard from me and no deposit was paid she didn't feel obligated to order anything for me (additional linens since she only has enough for 100 people). I respond back that per last conversation she would be contacting me with pricing. Then the truth comes out she said she didn't feel the need to contact me (wow) because she felt like I was trying to get her to lower her prices. (hello you said price to decorate church/reception is 500, if I asked for reception only logic will tell you that pricing should change since it's one thing especially if I am not told otherwise when I ask for pricing for just reception) During our previous convo she never stated this is my rate period regardless of if I'm doing the church/reception or just reception etc. I said ok well just do linens and we'll skip everything else, even offered to pay the additional shipping cost to have linens rushed (even though it was not my fault she did not contact me). She responds I don't rent out my linens unless I decorate (again was not told this until today) So I told her just forget it and I'll go to a regular rental place where I can get just linens. Mind you my wedding is next weekend so I'll have to hurry to try to get linens.
