Morning all
Went to meet new wedding co-ordinator saturday (one who arranged ours and set up our 2010 for £2010 has left) was very much looking forward to it and came home feeling rubbish! I will try and keep it short, basically.
- He clearly didnt approve of the deal we had been offered
- didnt want to offer us corkage (although luckily she last one agreed to this so he had to honour it)
- really really didnt want to tell me name of DJ (so he could take a cut)
- would not come down in price of hotel rooms claiming 'he could fill them with other business' (which I know is crap because the place is dead without weddings)
Generally I just got the feel that he was there to make as much money for hotel, trying to making more upmarket and we dont fit into his little plan. He didnt show any excitement about our wedding or our ideas, if anything he didnt seem impressed we didnt want recieving line or a toastmaster (part of our deal was he did it) making some comment about 'Im sure i will be here but if im under a bus im sure a collegue will do it'
Now feel rubbish about my wedding! Ok rant over, just want to share x
UPDATE!
After all your great advice and a week of feeling miserable about my wedding I spent last friday night re-writing an email to my co-ordinator carefully wording it as not to sound like bridezilla. Yesterday I got a reply, but not from him from the manager! Saying to contact him because co-ord was off 'sick'. So just got off the phone with him (hes lovely, very easy to get on with) he asked me not to mince my words and say it as it was - so I spilled my guts! He told me not to worry and he wont be dealing with my wedding (and by the impression I got the co-ord wont be anywhere near the building) YAY YAY YAY. The manager wants to start 'afresh' and me and OH are going in to meet him and go through the whole process again on Saturday - so excited and happy happy happy!!!!!
