WHOM to rely on for supplies?

Since my return to Enugu in 2017, I used the same vendor for two events. On each occasion, guests stood waiting as tents and chairs went up. Yet, I received assurances that the venue will be up the night before! So beware: those who are supplying or leasing out things you need for the event can be unpredictable at times. Closely monitor the vendors to deliver as promised. Nigeria has not developed to the point where people sign vendor contracts. Heck, we may indeed get to this level in future. What use is the piece of paper to guests that are standing up while chairs and tables are set up, and to those with nothing to eat and drink? The fear of vendors is the beginning of common sense in events planning.
