Ranting.. kind of annoyed..

I'm usually a lurker on this board since all of you are so close but I felt others should know.. About  2 months ago I was researching officiants. We wanted a non-denominational beach ceremony. I came accross http://www.officiallymarried.com/ and I loved their prices and the fact that everything was a package. Since our budget was limited we figured something like this was for us. Anyways I initially contacted her and asked a bunch of questions and a day or two later got a response with satifactory answers. I told her that I would call her the following day to speak with her about details. Instead I got a response saying that she would call me since she works besides doing weddings. Fine. I agreed. Three days past and nothing, I tried to call left a message- still nothing- no response. A few days later I get an email promising that I would get a call that nite and didn't. I started to feel aggravated and told her that I was going to start looking into another vendor because I didnt feel like she was for us. That nite i got a call from her. We talked for over an hour she went over all the details with me about everything I wanted but refused to give me a price. She said that she was going to need to write up a contract of some sort for me to review and that I would have it within the week. Finally 13 days later I get an email saying your contract to review- with nothing attached.. I email back and she says omg im so sorry I thought it was attached and she promises to have it to me by that evening. She never did. Finally I get another email saying I would have the contract that nite and you guessed it, it never came. It has now been weeks with nothing still and I have since booked someone else on this since I figured she wouldnt even show up for the wedding anyways.. Just thought all should know that this vendor is not reliable.

    That's horrible, but thanks for the heads-up.  And I'm glad you are a smart girl who covers yourself and has a plan B!

    And I must agree with Gabi. I'm happy you came out of "lurking. The girls on here are awesome and you should definitely feel free to post more.  We'd love it!

    I'm sorry you had such a flake for an officiant! That is ridiculous! Luckily for us, we are getting married by a family friend.... so hopefully it will be drama free.

    I've never seen a mean knottie on our board, so don't be afraid! We don't bite. :) We are also having a Get Together this Friday, if you want more info... ask Stacey, the moderator. She has an e-vite set up! We'd love to get to meet you!
