Hi!
i caved and decided to get a wedding planner. I felt like when I interviewed her we really "hit"
it off. That was back in February. I had my venue already which included the cater, my photographer also. She kinda helped with the DJ but we ultimately found him on our own. She provided my hair and make up people who I ended up firing bc I didn't feel they were professional during the trial and went with people I found. When I hired her she said she would provide monthly to do lists to make sure I was on target, which she hasnt provided at all. She asked to help plan our honeymoon and was going way above our budget and when we asked for edits they weren't any better. I asked her to partner with my fiancé bc I was doing the wedding and he could do the honeymoon. She never responds back to his emails and rarely include him on our emails although I've asked her to several times. I have everything planned on my own for the most part but since it has been wedding season she has been MIA. I appreciate the fact that she gives her couples 100% attention for their day and I am hoping she will do the same for us. I am just frustrated that I am paying for services that I do not really feel I am getting. Most of our correspondence is through email. I had to hound her in regards to transportation which took her about a month to get back to me about. Ultimately I feel like she will be there the day of our wedding and help it run smooth. I'm worried that if I bring up my concerns it could potentially offend her and have her quit (I know this is ridiculous) and I don't want to be scrambling last minute. However we are paying her a significant amount of money. She also wants to do our flowers and I am a little nervous about that as well. Thoughts?
