Hi Margaret,

I imagine part of the difficulty is that people only have one wedding (at least that's the plan!)... So they don't expect to have a "long term relationship" with a wedding planner.

On the other hand, the vendors would hope to have a "long term relationship" with the wedding planner, because presumably, they want her (or him) to send more business their way!

My guess is, because of this, the vendors are actually more likely to pay! If they don't pay, the vendors obviously will not be recommended by the wedding planner in future...!

Thanks for sharing that, Margaret...

Best wishes,

Dien
