Vendor meeting

I have all the contracts set with my vendors, and everything decided. Am I supposed to meet with them again to finalize everything or am I just supposed to send them a check and when its due and just go by what the contract says? I want to at least e-mail all of them (and meet in person with the florist and the caterer) but is it being annoying?

How many times from between the booking and your wedding did you talk to the vendor, even if you weren't changing your mind about anything?

    I think those are questions for your DOC.

    We met with our DJ once a few weeks before to go over the song lists (must play, do not play, key songs) - we could have done it over the phone/e-mail, but I wanted to actually meet Jay in person before the wedding. 

    I met with our florist once for a mockup in between the initial meeting and the wedding, but we e-mailed at least 3 times per week... sometimes it was related to the flowers. lol

    We met with our baker two more times between the initial meeting and the wedding - it would have only been once but I kept getting new ideas, so I wanted to work stuff out on paper with her.

    Never met with the lighting people at all. Magic lighting fairies.

    Did one trial with the makeup lady, two trials with the hair lady.

    We met with the caterers once to finalise the menu, but we could have done that via e-mail as well.

    We met with our DOC once about six weeks prior to go over itineraries and such as well. I think that was it. I don't think they would consider it annoying if you wanted to meet with them. I wanted to feel like I knew the people we were working with, so instead of doing everything via e-mail (we did a lot of it that way), we chose to meet with each of them at least once or twice during the whole process.

    I agree- I would meet with all of them in person at least once before the wedding. Some things are easy to do over the phone/email, but other things it's better to meet again to make sure you're on the same page. If you're requesting a meeting once a week for a few months before your wedding, then I might think you're being a little obsessive, haha. But they should be able to make time for a few meetings with you.  :)
