Hi fellow brides! So I'm still trying to figure out all this wedding stuff, and I listened to the internet when it recommended that I spend $$$$ for a wedding planner. I have a destination wedding, so I really wanted someone who knew the area to help with local coordination and vendor referrals.
Well, I guess I just expected my wedding planner to do more. She ghosted me for 4 weeks (no response to emails or texts), and then sent me the wrong vendor information and told another vendor the wrong wedding date. And it's not just the planner, but all of my vendors are slow to respond or are sloppy with their correspondences. I know no one is going to care about my wedding as much as me, but I assumed that when I hired people and paid them thousands of dollars, they would do the job outlined in their contracts. I have my own job that I do, so I wasn't planning on taking on the role of wedding planner or vendor nanny. All my vendors have 5 stars on this website, so are my expectations just too high? Am I being a bridezilla? My wedding is 4 months out and I don't have music, officiant, florist, invitations, or even wedding colors. Should I just do it myself and not wait for the wedding planner to get back to me with her vendor list or color suggestions?
This isn't suppose to be a rant, I am genuinely asking, how much of this planning and coordination should fall to me versus the wedding planner that I hired? (And yes, I hired a wedding planner and not partial coordinator person).
