Hi ladies,
So we arranged a meeting with our wedding planner at our venue today, as its one of only free times we could make it.
Loads of questions to ask and details to finalise. Got there with in laws our toastmaster, and one of my friends. Waited, waited waited.....guy at the bar says "she's on her way" then comes back out and says basically she quit last night and had left no details of our wedding at all! It's 26 days away for ffs!!!
Cue Everyone just looking dumb struck ......I'm in tears -
Venue says they're getting another planner - my h2b speaks to her on the phone, but she can't make it to see us this week! I say it feels like no-one cares about the wedding which starts fmil off crying, so I have to say I don't mean you! I mean venue and new planner!
Totally dumb struck.......we have nothing - no costings, contract, details - nothing. We were meant to get them all today!
We both work full time- really busy time and is hard to get time off to arrange more meetings....all our days off between now and wedding are accounted for :-(
Just felt the need to rent xx

Bless ya darling that's rubbish! They should have detailes of you wedding on there system, it should be all rotten down some where. Try not to get too down if u can't meet in person you will have to speak over the phone. I know it's not as personal on the phone but if the person is a propper wedding planner she/he should be able to make you day just how you wanted it even in the short time. Just speak to you venu and try to relax about it. Every thing wil be fine :). Big hug! Xx

Oh hun, so sorry to hear this. I can't believe this woman could plan a wedding with a couple and leave no paperwork or anything behind on your big day - absolutely shocking! Do you not have anything with the details on after you booked it and paid deposit. Surely the venue will be going crazy to get it all sorted for you and throw in extras or something for the stress and upset its caused.

Sorry to hear this, not surprised you are stressing out right about now.. that's awful of her not to leave any paperwork behind! Do you not have copies of the paperwork your end that you could show the venue? Definitely demand discounts!!! Hope it all works out :D xx

omg! you poor love, i think i would be feeling exactly the same as you, do they not have any way of contacting her?

how heartless of her to leave her clients like this with such a short time frame left, i really feel for you hunny, im sure it will all be ok, but im sure you could really do without this kind of stress right now.

keep us posted as to how its all going, will be thinking if you xxx

thanks ladies :-)
i just want to scream at someone,.......
we're having a meeting on Monday with venue and their new planner - not paying them anything until after the day!
So far we have gotten the wine reduced from £15 a bottle to £9.50, and as we were supplying our own bubbly for the speeched they were gonna charge £10 a bottle corkage, that has now been dropped too. Ive also got them to put on 2-4-1 cocktails for the night. So far so good.....
One of my BMs hasnt even contacted me back about it all - thats p*ssed me off......shes got IBS so cant eat some stuff.....so I sent her a message asking what it was she cant eat - bearing in mind she chose off the menu - and shes said "its such a long list can i call them myself?"....i just sent back heres what youve chosen - just tell me what it is on their you cant have! Is that unreasonable?? if its the sauce on the steak then they'll do it without the sauce! god.......

Im glad your getting to meet with them soon, also getting things reduced is good too! I hope your new planner is nice and things work out, my sister in law has celiac too and we are having something made for her of the menu that hasn't got wheat or gluten in,our venue also caters for this, so that was lucky, im sure she wont starve and their will be something she can eat.if all else fails tell her to bring a lunch box lol! :P

Glad things seem to be going well and some great discounts there, you def deserve at least that with all this going on.

I don't think you are being unreasonable, you are being put in a awkward position by the venue and need a quick answer from her so you can make sure she has something to eat on the day.

hope things have been sorted for now and everything is going well?
ive been thinking of you and know its not long now till you get married :)
hope it goes well for you and it runs nice and smooth after a tough few weeks xx

I'm sure it will, enjoy every minute xxx

How did everything go??x
