Suggestions on how to get reply from WC for Palace wedding

[amh777]

Hi ladies,  I am having a difficult time getting my Miami WC to reply to my email requests to allow an outside DJ and decor company. It has been over a month! If you have had the same problem, how did you remedy the situation? Specifically... i.e. did you call and ask to speak to the supervisor, did you leave voicemails, etc? I dont want to go all mega b*tch on them yet... I'm hoping I can use the nonresponse as a bargaining tool to get them to agree to the outside DJ and decor company. Palace's decor company seems super pricey and as I see how much everything is going to end up costing, I am trying to keep costs lower! As an aside, I cannot believe how much a wedding that was supposed to be cheaper is ending up costing so much!!! Thanks for all the tips!

Have you signed the contract with them already?  Once the contract is signed they tend to be less responsive.  I think the typical Palace wedding contract specifically states no outside vendors.

Yep, contract is signed and yep, it says no outside vendors, but I am going to try my hardest to get the outside DJ and decor... I'm OK with using their harpist, flowers, cake, etc. If push came to shove, I guess I could maybe deal w/ the decor vendor they have, I have just heard it is 2x the price of others.. but I have heard their DJ is really not good, so that is a bummer and they are like $1400 for the DJ which is RIDICULOUS if they suck!! and pretty ridiculous even if they do not!
