Why do wedding venue coordinators take so long to reply?
Wedding venue coordinators frequently take days or weeks to answer crucial planning questions, leaving couples stuck in anxious silences right before their event. This lack of communication prevents timely decision-making and makes couples afraid to send follow-up emails for fear of seeming demanding.
