Planning a wedding is no easy feat. The complications that come with figuring out florals, seating charts, catering, and a handful of other priorities can be difficult to push through. To most women, the struggles are worth it. At the end of the day, when a wedding comes together perfectly, the payoff is astounding. However, when you're planning a wedding and the planner you've hired doesn't take your choices and decisions into consideration, you're putting yourself under unnecessary stress. A planner/"day of" coordinator is supposed to alleviate your worries, not create more of them!
The woman in this story is struggling with this exact issue. She was looking for a "day of" coordinator and interviewed a few of them. The person she wanted to hire didn't work out, so she had to opt for a different one. That person is the star of this tale.
Off the bat, the planner talked about all of her ideas for the wedding without consulting with the bride-to-be. When the woman tells the planner that she already has an idea for decor, the planner remarks, "Oh, I didn't think to ask about that." Isn't that was wedding coordinators are supposed to do immediately? The planner then takes a long amount of time to complete the brunt of the work, explaining that she was hoping the bride would reconsider some of her choices. Scroll to read the entire story and some advice from fellow brides.
