how long should I wait before contacting the vendors again?

I understand the concept of "Maui Time", and I have to say that we chose to have the wedding in Maui partly because of the lay back, relaxing feeling that we get from reading about Maui. We've never been to Hawaii. Several times now where one of the vendor that I've contacted say she or he will get back to me on a certain time and just didn't hear from she or he in days. Well, being the type A and control freak (I say this in the most loving way) that I am, it is making it very hard for me.

 

So would someone please shred some light on the question, what's the standard time that I should wait before contact the vendors again after they said they'll get back to me on a certain day? two days? a week?

I think you should wait for a week. Contact again if they will not reply so contact to other vendor.

My wedding co-ordinator replies to me quickly. But the vendors... another story.

 

We are having our reception at the feast at lele, and my dad has been emailing them, they take quite a while to do anything, but they do always do it in the end!

 

Same as our caterer, can be quite slow to get back to me sometimes, but she has always followed through with what she says shes going to do, and my co-ordinator ensures me she is reliable and always uses her. So there definitely is that element of 'maui time' and it can be frustrating.  I agree about a week sounds right. Unless its something to do with money or payment inwhich case I might chase them about it sooner.
