Type a Bride- Don't want to come off as annoying.

EGD, on June 1, 2022 at 12:24 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

Let me start with I LOVE the staff at my venue, from the time we booked with them everyone we have worked with has been so helpful and responsive!


When we booked with them, they gave us a sheet of all important information regarding our day, one thing being that we need to set up a details meeting with the event director to go over all the specifics of our wedding night, and that this meeting should be 4-8 weeks prior to our wedding which would land us around the beginning of July for our September 2nd wedding.

They only hold these meetings Wednesday, Thursday or Fridays in the afternoon, both FH and I work full time so we need to arrange with work to attend this meeting. I also have questions I've been waiting to ask at this meeting that I would like answered, and our calendar for the Summer is filling up quite quickly. I have my spreadsheet and I REALLY want to cross this item off the list of things to do.

I emailed them May 6th, to ask when we should set this meeting up, at which point the event coordinator emailed me back telling me that the event coordinator for my wedding was just finishing up his August couples and would reach out to me soon. I haven't heard anything since.

Would I be annoying if I reached out again? It's absolutely not a meeting that's detrimental to my wedding todos I have to do, but knowing we have a scheduled date, and I can work stuff out with work as well as my FH's work to be able to attend this meeting would really take some weight off my shoulder.

    I'd recommend checking your spam folder just in case something went there, but I don't think it would be an issue to reach out just to follow up.

    All you're doing is booking a meeting appointment that is within your contract, so no, not annoying for you to call them. They will not reach out to you, it is your event.

    Since it's peak wedding season, the coordinator is probably stressed thin and stressed... so, even reasonable requests might come off as annoying. But I /do/ think it's a reasonable request, and I would feel the same way. All you want is to get on the calendar, right? I would phrase it the same way you did above. Maybe be patient about getting a reply, but you're not asking for much.

    Thank you.

    My last email with them did state the event coordinator would reach out to me when he was done booking August weddings, when we spoke on May 6, which is why I'm hesitant to reach out.

    In business, I just imagine people are busy and they may forget. That's why it's more important to advocate for yourself because you have responsibilities, too. You're not asking for a full conversation, just a request to put something in the books. Really a 3-min conversation that reminds Them not to forget You.

    Go ahead and reach out to them again. I would also phrase similar to how you did above.....Hi I would like to go ahead and schedule x meeting so I can get it into my calendar which is filling up quickly. I am supposed to have a meeting with our caterer 10 days before our wedding to give final head counts and make our full payment so back in March I emailed them asking if we could go ahead and schedule that meeting and get it in my calendar which is already super busy for September. They happily scheduled with me but took them about a week to get back to me.


    Cant believe how close we are to September now!!!

    That's what I said when I originally emailed them in May, I think I'll give them to the end of the week and email again. I'm pretty sure I'm their first wedding of September since I'm the 2nd which is the first Friday of the month, so I figured I would be the first September bride to hear.

    I know it's crazy how quick time is flying!!

    Haha great minds!

    I wouldn't worry about sending the follow-up email then. Sometimes things just fall off people's radar. As long as you're polite about it then they probably won't care.

    Hi!


    Looking at your page and reading your post I believe we might be getting married at the same location! I am a September bride too! I reached out to ask about scheduling a rehearsal so i can move forward with my rehearsal dinner plans and they responded saying they would reach out 3 months prior to schedule a meeting and send out information. I’m hoping you hear something soon! I don’t think you are annoying at all…we are into these last few months of planning..I would give them untill Monday that would make it a solid month since you reached out. I’m sure they are busy but it doesn’t hurt to follow up again

    I would totally reach out again. Plus, there's that saying "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". :-)
