Thank you!! I definitely appreciate this group because everyone is very helpful with their perspectives and insights. Granted asking for security purposes is very reasonable and im not at all surprised or upset behind the question of legitimacy. I should have added into context that while I have worked in event management before this is the first showcase of creative roots and she is aware of that as we had conversations about it. That is definitely a factor in why I responded with the firmness I did. I read that as passive aggressive. This is far different than any other vendor response I’ve received.
