Nice To Meet You…Version 4.0

May 17th, 2007 @ 4:43 pm by Mrs. Lemon

I just got one of those super fun emails that you have wedding nightmares about…

“I just wanted to let you know that Mr. X will no longer be your event coordinator and instead he will be replaced by Ms. Y.”

Yup, we’re 50 days away and we get to do all of our final negotiations with someone I’ll meet only a week before the wedding. Now this wouldn’t normally scatter the false sense of calm I’m trying to maintain, but this happens to be the FOURTH wedding coordinator that we’ve been assigned over 15 months. See, I told you it was super fun!

Luckily my mom worked the local grapevine to discover that this new manager is an experienced replacement from another local hotel, and that she’s allegedly very nice and great at what she does. Ok, phew…worries semi-eliminated…but it still doesn’t eliminate the annoyance of having to explain myself to yet another new person and beg them for the little adjustments that we want for our reception. Who knows…maybe this will actually turn out to be a good price negotiating tool before the final contract is written in blood?

Has anyone else been through the wedding coordinator wringer and lived to tell about it?

I’m on my third coordinator….I’ll tell you though, it doesn’t bother me one bit. I have everything meticulously planned and written out, so even a monkey couldn’t mess it up : )

I know this may not help too much, but it isn’t out of the norm for hotels to go through so many people. The turnover rate in the industry is ridiculous. The good thing, is that they all just go to different hotels, so the people coming to your hotel, just left someone else’s wedding that was mid-planning in the dust.

It will all work out.

This doesn’t help, but we just found out our priest has been transferred to a different parish, so we’re just over 2 months away and have no idea who will be marrying us! I just hope they get this resolved quickly - and that we have a chance to meet and like the priest they assign us!

I’ve actually heard this happens very often with venue coordinators. I don’t know why, but I think they probably just have high turnover as “entry level” types of jobs? Good luck!

50 days! Can you beleiev it??? Best wishes!
