Putting together a wedding weekend itinerary and have been dealing with a frustrating level of questions from some random in-laws who are known for stirring the pot. Would it be rude to say “please contact x with any questions. Kindly do not direct questions to the bride unless there is an emergency”? What is a better way to say this?

I think the first half of the sentence is fine. Maybe instead say, “the bride will be unplugging for the wedding day, and will likely not be reachable” or something like that

Oh this is smart!

Yep. Totally fine to direct them elsewhere!

Is this phrasing abrasive or normal?

Don’t put anything at all and just ignore them unless it’s an emergency 🤷‍♀️ presumably these are all adults who can figure things out

Totally normal to do this! Maybe say "the bride & groom are unavailable/unplugging"

I think just the first sentence is fine. They should know the married couple will be living the moment and not focused on their phones lol

Do you have a planner? If so just state that all questions should go to the planner and not the bride or groom

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
