Anyone experience not seeing eye to eye with their coordinator? We’re 6 months out and I keep trying to ignore it but it’s really bothering me. I didn’t hire her full on. We communicate once a month and I send emails when we hire new vendors. I’m getting irritated that every time we talk she forgets things that are important like the chairs I want(that I’ve already ordered) or repeats herself from the last phone call even though we already discussed it or tells us no for simple things l like?

1000%. I am experiencing the same thing with my full-time planner (and have been for the last year). Our wedding is early September. Honestly this may be bad, but I just waited for her to drop the ball on something and then sent a stern email. I think it’s easier to address that something HAS gone wrong, vs constantly staying on top of someone to make sure nothing goes wrong. Again, not the best approach but I was desperate and now things have gotten better.

I wish I would have just done a “day of coordinator”. I’ve done all the work anyways and seems like she just wants to put her hands into something if she feels like it and it only adds too many hands to the pot. Such a weird thing to navigate!

Can you fire her and find a new one? You’re the paying client here, and it doesn’t sound like she’s providing what you have and paid for.

Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
