Wedding Planner Woes

What do you do when your wedding planner sucks? I need more communication and direction than what I am getting. I understand my wedding is not until May 2011, but I would like to start identifying vendors, selecting design options, etc. I have no idea which direction I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What am I supposed to do next? I have a venue, and that's it. Ummm....isn't there more to this than that? Augh! I am so frustrated. I've emailed, I've called and have gotten general responses. I really want out of this contract with her, but I'll lose my money. What to do. What to do.

    Try researching some potential vendors on your own.  Email and say, "I like vendors A, B, and C.  Could you give me any advice or insight on these three?"  or "I really like vendor X's style, but they are out of my price range.  Could you recommend a similar vendor who might be willing to work with my budget?"

    Also, maybe you could talk to her about her response time and if she could at least send you an email acknowledging that she received your email/call, and when she expects to get back to you.  Also, I would clarify with her what all is included with the contract your signed with her.

    Yeah.  Is she your wedding planner or just your coordinator?  Why haven't you started researching on your own?  Are you expecting her to do everything for you and fill your head with wedding ideas?  You need to do some ground work too. Does she have a preferred vendor list?  What have you contributed to the planning process?

    I would see if I can get out of the contract. If she isn't doing anything isn't that going against the contract that you signed? The fact that you are getting vague answers to questions would be enough for me.  Have you tried to talk to her and just tell her that you want to get a move on, that is what you hired her to do and you really feel disappointed at this time. I am sure she doesn't want the bad reputation that one bride can give her.  As for the 2 above posts of what have you contributed..if she is your wedding Planner, she is the one that is supposed to be the professional to get the ball rolling, not you. She should have interviewed you with likes, dislikes, budget etc. and then had some vendors that she knew and trusted that she could recommend to get you at least started. If you didn't like who she suggested you at least have a direction to go in to try other vendors on your own at least you would have a comparison.
