Wedding planner not responding

When are you getting married? If your date is really far into the future, these things may not be an immediate priority for the planner and require more space between answers. I think that she should have atleast acknowledged your reply without a second follow up.

I think you need to talk with her if you still want to use her services and come to an agreement about appropriate communication time or expectations on this. If you can't agree or she doesn't live up to whatever is agreed upon, dump her and do it yourself.

Seems like you are getting the results you want by doing it yourself but that's just my perception. I wouldn't hire a wedding planner but spend the funds instead on a photographer or vendor.

Personally I think you might be slightly over-reacting. If your wedding is truly not until December 2021, there aren't many time pressed things happening now. Our venue wouldn't even book events more than 18 months out from the requested date. You have over 2 years (30 months) to plan this wedding and you will change your mind on most everything between now and then. Wedding trends and fashion styles will change and I'm sure you're planner knows this as well. We are one year out and we have met with our planner/coordinator once to go through the venue and will be meeting with her in a couple weeks to do a walk through, other than that we will see her again on wedding weekend with e-mails here and there in-between.

This is why I'm planning my own wedding, in addition to not wanting to spend $3000 or more on someone who won't return my emails/calls. You found out all on your own that you can get venues and other vendors to respond to your request for pricing. That's all I have done, and so far it's worked out fine. I'd rather put that $3000 towards something else for my wedding, like attire, or flowers, etc.

For the amount of time you have until your wedding, you can do most of it yourself. Something to consider.

I am pretty much planning mine on my own with a little help of course. I finally broke down and signed on for a WP specifically for decor and day of stuff: keep the schedule and flow of ceremony and reception. But we pretty much found the venue, catering, Dj, photographer, Cake and everything else on our own. If your are willing to put in the time and research you can do it girl.

To be fair.. My Dj is my God Dad who has been one for like ever, My photographer is a patient of mine who has just opened her business, My Bridesmaid has a Cake business, and My WP is a friend who finally got her business going. So my connections cover my necessities Praise the Lord. But you can totally managed.
