When I picked my venue I already had a wedding planner due to a long story that's not necessary for context. I have already invested money and I really like them. So I'm keeping them.
But I did not know this venue came with a coordinator until after I fell in love with it. So fine I talked to my planners and the venue coordinator and they all agreed to work together. We met the other day (all 5 of us). It felt a little tense, maybe just because I was overwhelmed.
For clarity, the venue coordinator only handles decorative pieces she owns, and just other things related to her property. She does not do anything with my vendors, she does not schedule etc. That's what my planners do. Again, everyone agreed to work together and set their boundaries.
But before my planners arrived, the meeting with the venue coordinator was super overwhelming. She told me I was overpaying for other things, that I didn't need this or that (when I expressly said I wanted it). It felt like she was being very assertive with her ideas.
I debriefed with my planners afterwards, and they know where I am at. That I felt overwhelmed by the meeting and they agreed to advocate and do what is best for us (and what we want).
The planners are amazing, and the venue coordinator is lovely as well. They have all have been doing this for quite some time and have done this before. But I obviously haven't. I have zero wedding experience.
I just don't want any problems. My wedding planner says we are within our contract and there should be no issues. It's probably just the wedding stress getting to my head.
