I would just like to find out what is the norm as, I have been trying to fix a meeting with the coordinator on weekends or 6.30pm on weekdays but to no avail.

"The coming weekends is too tight for us"
"I have an appointment/commitment from 6pm" etc.

I am worried if I confirm the venue with her and she is inflexible and all, it will not be a pleasant experience working with her for my wedding.

Can you ladies tell me your experiences? How has it been for you? So that I can adjust my expectations accordingly.

Thanks!

So far all the venues that I went to allows meetup during weekends and weekday nights. One of it was as late as 9.15pm. I wonder which hotel coordinator is so unwilling :(

It depends on the period.

Some periods the coordinator needs stay late anyway cos there's a wedding.

Others e.g during 7th month where wedding are rare they probably won't want to meet after office hours

Hihi!

Just to share our experience... We visited a couple of hotels and so far they are all willing to accommodate to after office hours or Sat/Sun. We weren't trying to be difficult but we finish work at about 6 plus on weekdays so we can only meet after 7pm. Our period that time wasn't the 7th month, so can't comment on that.

However I think comfort level with the coordinator is pretty important, not saying they need to be there 24/7 but they do need to be alittle responsive and more available.

My coord doesn't do weekends but she is willing to meet at latest 8pm on weekdays. Very responsive to our emails.

Must understand that they are also working office hours so they are using their after working hours to meet...

For food tasting we took half day leave cause she told us that she hopes it can end by 8.30pm and similarly, I end work at 7+.

They also work office hours, some willing to stay till 6pm or 7pm. Sometimes, i take half day to see cos they also have family to go to.

Didn't check if my coordinator can meet on weekends as we contacted her on her schedule, and went over on a weekday after work. However, she's very responsive on the exchange of texts msg which I'm very thankful for

Thanks for all the replies! I found out it was the coordinator’s last month at the hotel. She had already tendered resignation when I enquired about holding my wedding there. Probably explains why she wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting me.
