So a major reason for choosing the venue we did over others we liked just as much because it came with the on site planner and day of coordinator services.
Well. She was sending me awkward emails today and kept asking when I was going to be in town next so I finally just told her to call me...and when she did, she dropped the bomb that she's leaving the club and won't be working there anymore. Her last day is May 15th and my wedding is May 26th. Apparently she can't bear to work there 11 more days to follow through with my wedding. We have worked with her since we booked the venue in August and have loved her the whole time. She's done a ton of events at the venue and has several years of experience. She not only makes sure the day goes smoothly but also makes sure the room looks like my vision and assists in setting up the centerpieces, candy bar, and everything.
She told me she hopes they will have a new person in by May 14th but she isn't certain, but is "positive" they will have someone by my wedding day. Yeah right, you can't guarantee that if they haven't hired anyone yet.
I'm devasdated. I can't believe she can't hang on just 11 more days for my wedding. And now we might be totally screwed and they day could turn in to complete chaos and nothing will look right.
She asked me to find a way to come into town and meet with her with my mom and MOH to make sure we have all the details hammered out and written down so the next person knows exactly what's going on. I've spoken with my mother and MOH and we've decided that we are going to request a representative from the venue be there as well who will be there on the wedding day as well. If they don't want to provide someone because they aren't going to be the new official event planner, I may lose it entirely.
