When it rains, it pours

... or at least it rains pretty darn hard. And it's raining in St. Louis now. So appropriate!

Earlier today, I found out from my day of coordinator that she can't be at my wedding because she's going to her friend's wedding that same day (which came up after she signed a contract with me). So her assistant is coordinating my wedding. I said that I wanted to meet her assistant first before moving forward, and she said she understood completely and we'll be meeting in June.

Then, just now, I find out from my venue that they forgot to reserve their pastry chef for me so I need to find another cakemaker. I asked them to reserve her, and they said no deposit was needed. And then they fully booked her. So now I need to pay the cake-cutting fee of $1.50 per cake. I'm so annoyed!

Can you guys post some amusing gifs or tell some funny jokes or something?

    I would refuse to pay it as well.

    I negotiate for a living. I would contact the owner and say,

    I want this charge to be waived. I am anticipating 175 guests and have you at maximum capacity (I think I have those details right), I imagine that is a large wedding for you. You have made an error. You have inconvenienced me. Now you are proposing that you resolve this by charging me for a service you were already performing at no cost if you hadn't made this error.  That doesn't make sense, particularly when I am paying $X per person, plus alcohol and gratuity. 

    Please update us on this. I'm mad for you right now. This is just bad service.

    I agree with Liatrus too. Assistants DO NOT command the same contract price as the Coordinator. I would re-negotiate the contract.

    I just spoke to the venue and they agreed to drop the cake-cutting fee! Wahoo! And I'm meeting with a very fabulous cakemaker in a week and a half to taste her delicious cakes. She's my friend's cousins's friend (whew!) and has fantastic style.

    Just wanted to share my small victory with y'all!

    sweet.

    This post confused me cause I started to re-read it all thinking it was new and when I got to the part about the cake cutting fee I was like "that didn't happen JUST NOW" 

    oy. I gotta get with the program

    Is the coordinator reducing her fee too?
