Wedding Planner? Are my expectations too high?

I haven't hired a wedding planner, but every vendor I've spoken to (hair stylist, photographer and venue rep) has responded within a day. If you've already paid for her services then you should have a conversation and set clear expectations for response time. Honestly, that would get on my nerves too. Is there anything in your contract about response time, or a timeline for planning?

My wedding planner always responds with in 48 hours. When interviewing her did you ask about communication and timelines?

Sorry but your date is in 2 years and she is probably getting ready for the busy wedding season. You might have to give her a little bit more time.

In my experience it isn't normal. My wedding planner always responded within a couple hours. If she couldn't get to it right away then it was a message to say she received my email and would follow up after her appointments for the day. I always heard from her on the same day I reached out.

Well my sister is my Wedding coordinator/planner so she always keeps me a breast of things pertaining to my wedding. Sorry your dealing with this with your wedding planner girl. Maybe she is just super busy getting ready for her wedding season since it's April. With your date being 2 years away(doesn't mean she shouldn't respond back to you) you may need to try reaching out again til she responds

This is a busy time of the year. Since your wedding is so far out, I would not stress about it. I have observed some planners get a little annoyed if their bride is asking for too much interaction this early in the game. YMMV.

It's so early, and there's a busy wedding season starting now. And one next year. Then it will be your time! I'd be more patient. If it was a year out I would be more concerned, but since it's two I think it's okay. A heads up that she's busy would be nice, though.

She probably is really busy right now because it is peak wedding season. I would just be patient, you have plenty of time and she probably isn't thinking of you as a priority yet.

Chill, please. You have two years.

You're wedding is too far out. You're expecting too much.

Give her some time. Your wedding is in more than 2 years. It's definitely not a priority for her right now, nor should it be.

I agree with others that you shouldn't expect super fast responses since you are so far out. I don't think it's too early to start looking for a photographer, but I think you should allow some extra time for a response from your wedding planner. Some photographers may not be booking this earlier and it's unlikely that any of your preferred vendors will be booked for your date if you wait a few weeks.

Ask you planner to send you a planning timeline to help you set your expectations for this process.

You may want to pick up the phone and give her a call. If you tell her that you expect a response within a certain time frame, she can put your emails to the top of her priority list or at least send you a quick note that she is busy and will look into it when she gets some free time. But, being that it is 2 years out she is probably swamped with her 2017 weddings (hopefully).

My wedding planner is amazing and I love her

Is your wedding planner through your venue or did you hire her separately? Your wedding is two years out, unfortunately for you, I am sure she has more pressing weddings and events to handle. I would think this would be more so the case if you hired her through the venue.

She probably has more pressing matters than a wedding 2 years away

All the attention you're not getting is probably going to brides who have weddings, say, this weekend. That's a good thing. She will be all yours when the time comes, but for now just let her respond when she can. Can't you do some research on your own?
