I must add that this is a prime example of the value of at least hiring a coordinator to ensure all agreements and logistics are worked out. Not everyone has a need for a full service or even partial service planner, for that matter. However, bringing in a wedding coordinator at the final stages is so worth its weight in gold. The value is often realized with mishaps and illustrations such as this one. Yes, it takes staying on top of your vendors, but it also goes back to the age old way of “get it in writing.”

I’m so sorry this happened, but at least the situation was discovered prior to the scheduled time.
