I am getting married abroad at the end of this month.
Over 2 years ago I got engaged and booked a wedding planner, she has been with me right from the start. Things started getting a bit rocky last year as she had lost her staff and was going solo which was understandably a really stressful time for her. I waited weeks for simple things like prices for a supplier and ended up just emailing most people myself anyway and getting quotes almost instantly.
I went out to meet her at the end of last year, she explained that she got back on her feet, took a lot less bookings & hired more staff.
A couple of weeks ago (6 weeks before my wedding) she called me to say someone else would be taking over as my planner as her health isn’t the best but she will still do my decor on the day. I was slightly annoyed but at the end of the day I can’t be mad at someone who is ill.
I am part of a chat with other brides getting married in the same place, one of whom has the same planner. This lady is getting married at the start of June & has said the planner is still doing her full wedding & was told she was just lightening her load.
I don’t know her full story, there may be a genuine reason why something is stopping her doing my wedding but still able to do another 2 weeks later. I wasn’t overly impressed by her decor choices but I would rather just have the flow of one person on the day which is why I booked her for decor too.
Would it be unreasonable of me to say I don’t want the original planner to do my decor anymore?
I put down a sizeable deposit for the decor which I think is the only reason she is still doing it but I would rather cut ties at this point all together.
