Annoying Wedding Coordinator

Ready2wed11

Okay, so now I have realized how important it is to get everything in writing. However, every question I ask my wedding coordinator, like when will I get my pictures from the wedding, she cannot give me an answer b/c she does not know which photographer will be at my wedding. This (11/11/11) is a popular date and seems to me that type of thing should be decided already. How do I write up a contract if she can't give me any answers? I don't want to burn any bridges before the wedding b/c she is who I have to deal with that day. She constantly gives me attitude because I want my original wedding location (which she changed because of lack of communication from her boss), and she says it's going to be too crowded and the minister, photographer, etc may not be able to find parking. I mean, is that really my problem? I would drop her in a hot second if I could but, I won't get a refund and I probably wouldn't be able to find a photographer, minister, etc. UGH!

sorry to say it sounds like you didn't get a professional coordinator.   We knew every vendor as they were booked and were immediately given name, phone and e-mail addresses in case we wanted to speak to them.

yikes. I would get another coordinator.  if you're getting married next month, you should already have a photographer and all that by now. it might just be worth finding vendors on your own.

I would ask the company if you could deal with someone else! That's not fair.

Thanks for your support ladies! It's absolutely too late to find new vendors now in Maui. And she's the only coordinator the company has. I'm sure everything will go smoothly the day of....... Here's hoping! Lesson learned hopefully not the hard way.

Ugh, that sounds frustrating. It sounds like all you can do is hope it turns out well (and I'm sure it will ) and then leave detailed reviews out there once it's over, you know?

I would definitely keep an open mind regarding a move of location. There are two sections of the beach where we got married. One that was harder to get to and one that was way easier. I wanted the harder to get to spot because I figured it would be more private but that was not the case. We were the only ones on our stretch of the beach but there were several weddings at the other spot. If it were busy all over we would have hopped in the car and gone somewhere else. Definitely keep an open mind regarding that. Especially with a popular date. We got married on a random Monday with no cool date and there were probably 7 other weddings on that stretch of beach (including the private area).
