Wedding coordinator issues.

It depends on your contract hun, assuming you have one. If you cancel you could, and likely would, lose your deposit. If you just follow her, what if you don't like the new place?

You chose your venue, or should have, because you love the venue, the coordinator is a bonus. You need to find out what they're doing to bridge that gap though and be assured your plans won't suffer. If they can't offer you such assurance then you need to think carefully what to do. If you really do feel they aren't going to deliver what you agreedand want to go elswehere, then you need to get them to agree that the contract is no longer valid, and that they should return your deposit. I wouldn't do anything though without having a plan b in place at this stage. You don't want to burn your bridges.

Changes happen, especially in hotel staff. As long as they can still give you the wedding you want - you'd be better of sticking with it.

I couldn't agree more with Pammy. I'm sorry, I can't really understand the concept of changing your venue to follow your co-ordinator? It's always great to have someone helpful to deal with; it's her job to be helpful, but I think this is a step too far.

Won't you also have made your other bookings based on the venue you have? I suppose they can be relocated, although your registrar might be a different story.

Also, it's sensitive information what someone is doing with their career - how would you find out? Plus what if she's quit being a wedding co-ordinator altogether - maybe she's pregnant, or going back to college, or becoming a bricklayer...the possibilities are endless.

I would never have booked a venue because I liked the wedding co-ordinator, I would book it because I loved the venue and what it has to offer. I think it's ridiculous to go and see where she has gone!

Same here. But you could maybe look her up on LinkedIn if you really want to.

I think it's really cute of you to like her so much, but what you're suggesting makes no sense to me.

So you'd give up your venue, which you've hopefully chosen because you like it, to go somewhere else (if she has another job) and then have your wedding there. What if the new venue costs more? Plus you'd lose the deposit on the venue you have.

Sounds to me like she's been fired - very cagey phrasing.

^^^^ This sounds very odd to me. I agree with others that you shuld have hopefully picked the venue as you love it for being a great venue NOT for a person that works there. Little bit odd if you did ?

You need to sit and think why you picked that venue and what you love about it then see if it is more than because of a person who was good at their job, helpful and being nice as that is to be honest the point of their job. Don't lose a deposit on a venue as you want to follow someone unless you not happy with the venue anyway and your finding reasons to change it.

Our venue has gone through 5 coordinators since we book last January. Tbh I'm not that keen on the current one but I don't see how it's going to matter on the day.

It's a sad fact that venue co-ordinator turn around is pretty high! It's happened to a lot of our couples and touch wood, on the day it's always been absolutely fine so far. There are some venues we work at where it's someone different every time we're there, so I really wouldn't advise changing venues in order to have the same coordinator. You could swap venues and she may move on again.

It's really sad when someone you loved working with leaves, but unfortunately it happens. You never know, you may have the same spark with someone else at the venue
