... My fiance -- not even me -- gets a message from the wedding coordinator at the Tradewinds that she's leaving in two days and hey -- she's putting things in someone else's capable hands.

NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL!! And she has been so lazy and has screwed up so much up to this point that I was relying on her promises to undo her previous mistakes! UGH!!!

So sorry you are dealing with this. On my end via EMAIL I left a call and just called again...we owe final payment on our reception venue but wanted to know set up time day prior and fee to add it to the check.....she promised a reply yesterday. I'm STILL waiting.

Pray the new person is ready to show the world they are meant for the job and go out of their way!

That sucks, but like Shakeup said, maybe the person will be better.

On a side note, we attending a wedding at the Tradewinds on November.

Thanks teachermegs -- I hope so, but that would require them actually giving us this new person's name and number to contact her. We had a special meeting scheduled with the woman who is leaving -- and this meeting is something we made time for on the day before our wedding to go over something she promised to do because she screwed up bigtime!!! I only hope I can remember to keep all the things in my head that I had crossed off as done. How unbelievably ballsy to drop an email and leave things so up in the air like that.

I need a list of who to buy gifts for, food we are picking up Thursday before wedding, Sams club shopping list for buffet supplies, and the list goes on and on and on....All our final payments are to be doled out...but only if they CONTACT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

My only good news this week is that today one of my attornies called and the first settlement in my car accident in October is closed. Two more to go...and a lein against my "employer" for fobidding me to work when Workers comp refuses to return our calls to schedule my orthopedic....shoot..I think we need drinks...stiff ones!

Hi, Miss J,

Thank you -- I see where you're going with this.

Her promises weren't via email, but they are marked down on the event order. She would just have to actually care enough to draw someone's attention to them before the event. The not-so-great thing about having things in writing is that yes -- my butt is covered -- but only after the fact. They can screw up all they want, be lazy and careless and just apologize later.And of course it's not the reimbursement I'm interested in. I want my marriage to be celebratory like it deserves to be.

I guess I'll just focus on what's important. Do I sound convincing? :)

I'm so sorry to hear that :( Our wedding cordinator told me via email as well that she would no longer be working on our wedding and we would have someone new. This was about 3 months ago that I was told this. We arrannged a meeting between the old WC, the new WC, me and FI.....at that meeting I had a HUGE list of things to discuss to make sure we were all one the same page. As it turns out, I like the new WC wayyyyyy better than the old one. So I guess everything worked out. *fingers crossed8-we will just have to see in 3 weeks won't we!

Try not to stress about it, usually when these things happen the new person tries to go above and beyond expectations because they know they have already inconvenienced you. Best wishes! We are almost there!

p.s. Just keep telling yourself it will be all good and you'll be in warm FL in no time! I know it's been cold in Chi this past week :(

THANK YOU LOLSON! That's the kind of thing I like to hear! We'll have to reconnect in a few weeks and see how it went for us both!

She did just call me with her interim replacement on the phone and they seem to have a handle on it. I give her credit for making time for that call.

Good for her to at least make that call! My coordinator got with me (I called another # in her email and it went to the office she was at) She said I can call as much as I want whenever I want and I did get the timeslot the day prior that I needed. I just know we will all have amazing weddings and things will go great!

The Tradewinds is one of the top venues in this area, and I am so surprised to see your post. Must have been that the previous woman was not a good choice and it took a while to collect the information to fire her. But I would totally expect that the new person will be much better than the last - because the T has a huge important reputation that they cannot afford to tarnish.

This happened to me with my venue. I had been communicating with the wedding coordinator and she knew exactly what I wanted. She had an attitude about some issues and double booked our rehearsal time. The week before the wedding, she just casually let me know that another person would be handling all the details. This was very unprofessional. I met this new person right before I walked down the aisle. He really wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for me and he was a pleasure to work with. I wish he had been assigned to me in the first place.

Hopeully this new person will work out great for you.
