NikkiK1 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hello! I'm a newbie to this site... but I like what I'm finding so far! My fiance and I will be getting married in Key West August 10, 2012. I spent several hours researching a wedding planner. Either my wedding was too small or they just didn't seem interested in helping me. The ceremony will only involve me and my fiance. We will have 5 guests and we will go to a restaurant afterward and a pub crawl to follow. My question... how long do I wait to hear back from the wedding planner I have chosen to use? I have not given him any money yet... but it has been almost 5 days since I've heard from him. I asked him a simple question about what photographers he uses and he sent me a one sentence email that "he will get back to me." I understand that he has other clients that he also needs to help. Do I wait it out or look elsewhere? Thanks! ~Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti Eayre Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Nikki, You might give that planner another day or two to get back to you with an intelligent reply. They may be super busy this week-- who knows, but if you do not get a satisfactory reply soon, I would go on to another planner. it is true, some of the bigger planners will not take you on, being such a small group, in turn with a small commission, but there are plenty who would love the opportunity. Your planner has to be on your team 100%. You don't want the frustration of dealing with someone who is not there for you and on top of things.

NikkiK1 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I ended up going with someone else. The original planner just didn't seem interested in helping me. Every email that I sent asking a simple question was replied with one word... i.e. nice, good, okay. They wanted the money before I was even sent a contract. They rushed me off the phone and I could tell I didn't have their full attention when I celled them. I just wasn't getting a good vibe. My new planer is awesome and very enthusiastic!!!!

Patti Eayre Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So glad you found a good one! The first one sounded like a real loser. And you never, never should send money of any kind before a contract is in place and signed--that applies to any kind of business Congrats and have a fantastic wedding!
