We have a wedding coordinator provided to us through our venue. Every since we began she has been flaky and unresponsive. Since we hit the year mark she has gotten better about responding to my questions and emails. We had a meeting with her on Thursday, because I had some questions and concerns about alcohol. When I asked for a list of what we could get in all they gave me was the premiums for wine and a few things for beer. Where we live typically 2 options for beer and wine are provided by the hosts. I tried the premium wine on my own and hated it. So that was the main reason for the meeting. We went to meet with her first thing out of her mouth was "Oh so this the first time you guys are seeing the venue you must be excited." Umm no, we saw the venue over a year ago when we booked and you also let us see it when my FIL's were in town. Like that seems to be something you should kind of know. Then she was like oh I have the centerpiece vases we have available here because your mom asked me to set them up. First my mom wasn't even with me and second my mom normally tells me this kind of thing. Finally we get to what I wanted to talk about and my concerns, She is like well what about the house wines, I state I never got that list for what you offer. She then proceeds to tell us that she knows nothing about wines but the woman working the front desk does and typically works for the conference center. Ok so we go to talk to her and sit in the hotels tiny bar area. This poor woman is on crutches and can barely have a conversation because she is out of breathe from the walking around on crutches. The coordinator is like this will be great so I can learn something about wines. Like given your job I feel like she should at least know drys from sweets; and whites from reds. Nope nothing.
Mind you my FFIL and his girlfriend were with us, this is the first time meeting this person. My FFIL was shocked by how clueless and disorganized she was. I'm really hoping this wedding goes well, as of right now I don't have a ton of faith in my coordinator. I totally understand that she has a lot of brides and weddings, but you would think you would at least make a note about why the meeting was taking place or look over the email about why I scheduled the meeting.
