    Hi ladies, hope your all well.

    Well I havent heard from the company thats doing our food for ages and we havent chosen our menu yet so I sent an e mail asking if we could arrange a meeting to sort out the menu. Well when I sent the email it came back that it had failed, so sent it again, and the same happened so Im guessing that they dont use that e mail address anymore, well thanks for letting me know.

    So I ring him up and say my name and the date of the wedding and everything and he starts talking about meeting at the venue to discuss the menu, well the venue he was talking about wasnt my venue, and then he said that he must have me confused with someone else. So now im thinking has he double booked. He literally didnt have a clue who I was even though we have already had a meeting with him last year. I feel very un easy now and feel that he isnt professional. Should I look for someone else or give him the benefit of the doubt, what would u all do?

    I would look elsewhere myself, if you are feeling uneasy now, imagine how you will feel on the day worrying about whether the food will be there or not? We had this problem with our wedding cars, found a great deal at a wedding fair, details given but nothing sent out, phoned him back months later and he apologised saying he didn't know what happened and would send out booking form and still nothing, so we are going elsewhere. You need to feel completely relaxed and be able to put your trust in the companies you are entrusting with making your wedding perfect. Hope you have luck with it all. xx

    Thanks girls. Well my auntie came to the rescue, I didnt know she has a close friend who does catering. She did the catering for my cousins wedding. Then when i went onto the website it said she does posh bbq's for weddings from £10 per head! Lovely! Perfect for us!

    Glad you've gotten something sorted cause even if there was a genuine mistake on his end you dont want that from someone who's playing a big role in your big day. To me it sounds like he was double booked but either way he sounds very scatter brained and i personally wouldnt want someone like that in charge of anything on my big day.

    BBQ sounds great... cant wait for my invite ;)

    good one on the rescue hun! sounds like quite a scatter brain man doing your original catering... its weird that the email address doesnt work either. Bet thats a relief that your aunty recommended her close friend! yay! xxx
