Another check on the supplier wishlist! Definitely not a Reject!

Just this afternoon, I met with one of the most sought after and unexpectedly most humble of the suppliers that I ever met. Trust W@wies to give the most accurate and detailed feedback on a supplier. And in fairness, they hit it with this certain supplier so well! Everything they described about him was true! :)

Him being this small guy (not really small, he's not just that tall) who was unassuming yet very accommodating and reliable. After months of trying to set a meeting with this guy (I totally understand why he's so busy, everyone wants to get him as supplier!), we were finally able to finalize a schedule a few hours before the meeting. Hahaha. And so we had a casual and delightful discussion on the things I require from his team as this is such an important part of the wedding reception. I mean, this will really set the mood for the place.

Despite his unassuming presence, it was also obvious that he means business and he really knows what he's talking about. He's also realistic about what he can and cannot do. But so far, I think he was able to understand what we want and what's best about that, is that it's super affordable! I was expecting it to be one of the things that I would have to spend a lot of our budget on, especially since this supplier falls on the most wanted list for bride-to-bes. But I'm so amazed with his simplicity and his professionalism.

After I bombarded him with my questions which he so earnestly answered, and we discussed some more things about the lights and sounds, we agreed to a package rate that I really found so reasonable (I didn't even bother to haggle, I felt like doing so would rob him of his livelihood. I mean really, how affordable can his expertise get?) and it was off to signing a contract and giving a minimum down payment. And now I can finally breathe because we now have an esteemed and reliable lights and sounds (and LCD projector and 6ft x 6ft projector screen! Can you believe that?) supplier :))

Babe was pleased that I was able to book another good supplier at a surprisingly low cost. I mean, we really wanted moodlights for the wedding reception, and we're getting it! And its pretty affordable, really!:))

Now, do I even have to say the name of this oh-so-popular supplier? :) I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about :) Well, I can't wait to see our venue after he installed the moodlights and sounds all over the place. What puzzles me though is why he has the word Reject to his company's name when he most certainly is not. Hmmm...

And only for that today, I think I deserve a pat on the back :)
