OMG, I just got an email from the sales director (call her L) where I'm having my DW wedding.  She emailed me to inform me that, my wedding planner changed because the previous one I was working with (lets call her J) just got a promotion!!!  Cry

The fi and I even went to Aruba this summer to meet her and plan everything!!  In the email she introduced the new person (lets call HIM P), thats right its a guy!!  I'm just freaking out because J saw our vision and knows us and what we want.  He's new, 2 yrs at the hotel and 4 months in weddings!!  OMG, freaking out now for real!!  L says that he has all our information, but still, its not J, I really liked her!! This just better be a good transition!!

*hugs*  It will be okay, just get in contact with him and see how much J told him about your wedding and plans.  Good luck!  Breath.  ^_^

Wow, I'm really sorry! I can see why you'd be upset, I would be too.  Did you voice your concerns to the sales director, about how J "got" your vision and you're nervous to work with someone you haven't met?  Maybe she would be able to tell you more about L to ease your concerns.

*Hugs* I totally understand how much this could freak you out! BUT the good news is that J is still with the company. Can you contact her and ask her to fill in P personally, and leave him all her inspiration? I'm sure she's done that anyway, but I bet you'd feel better having spoken to her about it as well? Besides that, I think you need to have some good phone and email convos with P so that he can envision everything as enthusiastically as J did. 

As for him being new, think about how much experience he will have by the time of your wedding... it may not be years and years, but he will have learned a lot of valuable lessons by that time. Sometimes people have a certain flair for these things. I think once you get to know him, you'll feel better.

This happened to me - I was communicating with one person at the hotel about my DW in Puerto Rico and suddenly I got an email that said my contact had left the company entirely. I was a little nervous at first, but my new contact has been just as responsive and maybe even a little better than the first one! So if you've had a good experience up until this point with the company/location in general, I'm sure you'll be okay. Give it some time and see what happens. If you do feel like the new person isn't working out, just let them know and they should accommodate your needs. But really, I think it will be fine - it has been for me!

I completely understand your stress! Things will be ok! This is certainly a change of events, but you'll make it about the two of you, and it'll be beautiful!

Im sorry that happened but Im sure it will work out.  Before your contact fully begins her new promotion, I am sure she will catch up the new guy on everything and go through your file with him. Definitely get in contact with him to introduce yourself and get a chance to talk with him.

No worries - I bet she downloaded all the info to him so everything will be just fine. Did she leave the company completely or is she just in a higher position at the same location? I'm with the other girls. Give the new guy a call & see what he says. Hey - you never know, maybe you'll end up liking him even better! :)

Thanks!!  Fi just came home and I showed him the email.  He said the same thing ya'll did, I'll just be in more contact with him and let me know things in detail.  The fi did tell me we met him and I do remember now, nice guy, just isn't J!

Blueshoes:  I haven't emailed anyone yet, I just got the email.  But I'll be sure to let L know how I feel.

Lilyfaith:  The new guy does have all the info from the previous planner, I just hope he can see the vision from what we explained to J.  AARRGGHH!

Tvilase:  Thanks for sharing your story.  Hopefully this will be a good change.  At least J still works there (they stated she's "only 2 desks down")

Dancey905:  No, J is still at the same hotel, just a higher position.  Its just nerve racking!  I'm a little calmer, but still a little uneasy. 

The new planner did email me to introduce himself, so thats a plus!!  I'll just email him back with tons of questions!

Deep breath -- I am sure it will all work out, definitely have faith in them. If your concerns are still shaken, contact your former planner and ask her if she could advise on a conference call with the new guy and you.

The same thing happened to me. Everything is going to be alright, Im sure the new guy is going to take great care of your wedding. The new lady that is helping us is actually more helpful than the last. Im sure it will all work out just try to stay calm and make sure you get to know the new guy.

Update:  I just emailed all 3 people.  Just letting them know that we're happy for her job promotion, but sadden we're not working with her anymore and that we're looking forward to working with the new guy!  I just hope it all works out...it is what it is, right?!

Something similar happened to us, and everything worked out fine!  You've got plenty of time ot make sure the new guy is on board with you--good luck!
