[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 151187, member: 179"] I think I've finally calmed down. I did a wedding reception last night. Now, I've done probably a couple thousand...I think I know what I'm doing. In fact, it was a Canadian reception which is vastly different from an American. No problem. Enter the wedding coordinator. (sound drama music) :musicdance:Why anyone would hire a wedding coordinator is beyond me. It's the caterer's, DJ's, photographer's, bartender's job to [B]DO THEIR JOB[/B]. We don't need someone to do it for us. I was SO close to taking the cake knife and doing throat damage on her. She sent me 16...yes, 16 pages of a timeline. At 7:01 say this. Then at 7:04 say this, yadda, yadda. Yeah...that's going to happen. Well, events don't really work like that. Typically the wedding party gets tied up in traffic here so the event [B]ALWAYS[/B] starts late. This threw her for a loop. She's screaming, "We're not on time!!" My response (which I think really annoyed her) was, "Not a problem...roll with it." This woman was having a heart attack in front of me. She'd storm up to me in the middle of a song where the dance floor is filled and tell me to turn it off because it's 8:42 and time to do the bridal party dance. I told her I'd do it at the end of this song. Storms away in a hissy fit.:talkhand: Here's the kicker. She doesn't realize I own the company along with my husband. She goes out into the hallway and calls him to complain about me. Tells him I'm 'resistant' to following the time schedule. Keep in mind that the guests are having a great time. That's all that matters to me. At the end of the event I told the banquet manager that I will never do an event with her in attendance again. He said nearly all his staff said the same. Screaming part.:highvoltage: I bit my tongue the entire night. When I finally pack up and leave and get in my car, I think you could have heard me screaming a few blocks away. Five hours of biting your tongue tends to make you a tad crazy. :nono: So, here's to you...wedding coordinator - :hateyou: Abbey [/QUOTE]
