Day 22: Interview with the Coordinator

I have finally decided to take matters into my own hands. I got tired of waiting for my fiance to find us a wedding coordinator through his friend. So I decided to meet with the coordinator recommended to us by Ms. Rose from our church venue and see if I liked her. I texted my fiance that I was going to book her on the spot if I liked her. Hehe. I am about to get very demanding. So, right now, I am trying to think of questions to ask the coordinator. Like any other internet dependent person, the first thing I did was google it. I typed, "Interview questions before hiring a wedding coordinator" in the Google search box. \

This is the most helpful link I saw:

It's a bit too formal and a bit too in your face. So, I decided to tone it down and not ask too many questions. Here are the questions I have decided to ask:

1. How many weddings have you coordinated?
2. Have you encountered any problems during these weddings? How were you able to resolve them?
3. Are you very hands-on in helping the bride even if I only avail the OTD package?
4. Is wedding planning your full-time job?
5. Have you worked in our venues?
6. Can you work within our budget?
7. What have you learned in all of your past weddings?

So there. I am meeting her at 5 pm. I have to meet with my wedding gown designer at 3. Oh dear. Super busy day ahead. Wish me luck. :)
