Hi ladies! I have been extremely upset because of my DoC...the reason why I hired her is that she is the only bilingual DoC I could find that speaks the mother language of my side of the family. I want to make sure my parents and some other relatives are well taken care of on the wedding day. This DoC also does full wedding planning - her profile is very tacky and ugly in my opinion but I ignored that thinking I'd only need her language and organization skills, I can do the rest. I did end up using her "consultation and vendor selection" services as well because I have been extremely busy with work and was hoping she could keep me on track with the timeline and help narrowing down the vendors. She said this is exactly what she does.
She hasn't been doing any of that. The only vendors she recommended are the ones she can either get a kickback from or friends of hers. If I don't like them (I never do, because these are the people that made her tacky weddings), she would make no effort to look for anyone else...even though it clearly says "7 hours of vendor research". I would say she spent 30 minutes on me tops. Fear that it would cause any drama then I won't be able to find another bilingual DoC, even though I already paid for the vendor selection services, I was going to just suck it up and only use her on the day of (she has really good reviews for the day of service on yelp). I kinda stopped asking her questions so I don't make myself upset constantly.
The wedding is only a little bit over 2 months away, she hasn't reached out ONCE in the past month. The only time I saw her the past month was at my tasting (she invited herself). She was asking my venue manager questions that has nothing to do with me and said "oh I am just asking for my future clients". On the same day I also asked her if she knew any calligrapher...she acted really surprised and questioned why I can't just use a printer. Then she said she doesn't know anyone and I should look on etsy...I thought that was what I hired her for!
At this point I don't think I can put up with this anymore...I worry I would be so mad seeing her at the wedding if we don't get this resolved. But how do you even begin the discussion with someone so unprofessional? Please I need your help!
