@vanessa_gerstner: Literlly cried every day of our wedding week including the night before the wedding. And yes there’s so much more to this but this was all I could fit into 3 minutes. This was just my experience so take that with a grain of salt and if your wondering — it’s Katherine Brenne #wedding #weddingfail #weddingplanning #destinationwedding #weddingdrama
Oh…. I would have fired her and just kept doing everything myself

I’m in the wedding industry (photographer) so I don’t say this often…. But some kind of refund would be warranted here. Their lack of planning (their job) cost you monetarilty

Girlllll I’m getting married in Cabo in December and my planner just sent over the quote for floral, decor, and rentals and it was $130k over what she told us to expect for those things :-))))))))

this is crazy, I’ve definitely heard of the commission thing with planners and it is so off putting. If they’re booked for partial/full service planning, recommending vendors is literallyyyy a part of the job description lol

Yes- planners all get a commission off everything, that’s literally how they make their money.

Seems like a kickback, some sort of extra commission using her vendor’s…. I had something similar and honestly parted ways and am planning my wedding entirely myself. I found an amazing day of coordinator and am so happy. -sorry this happened but vids like these can help future brides

Italian planners/vendors are so insanely difficult to work with and it’s so hard finding one thats reputable

I think it’s something that is common with international planners.

Is it called a commission? I’ve seen pricing based on like your overall budget. So if your wedding is 100k vs 500k. Those are different levels of weddings so more work?

This is unfortunately common for planners in Italy, and starting to be a thing in the US for venues

I work for a wedding venue where we also have planners- It depends on the route you take 😊 There are usually 3 options: (in our case)
1. Full planning: The planner handles everything and adds a commission to vendors, but vendors often give planners better rates, so it can sometimes still be cheaper than booking directly.
2. Day-of planner: You organise everything yourself, then the planner takes over on the day and coordinates all the vendors.
3. Partial planning: The planner handles the bigger suppliers (food, furniture, photographer, etc.) and you organise the smaller details. She then coordinates everything on the day.
