ARGH... need help (Xpost from BHB)

Ladies,

I just got a message from my catering hall saying that my BM is no longer with them. I know this happens a lot, but I can't convey to you how much of an asset she was to the place and that she was a SIGNIFICANT reason that we booked -- I really trusted her implicitly with everything and knew I wouldn't have to worry... so much for that... I sort of feel betrayed... we had a sort of personal relationship outside of the wedding, and I sort of feel jaded now.... and my FH thinks that we should pull out of our contract and look for another place... I don't know if I want to do that, because I still really like my hall, but I feel like maybe we can negotiate a littl ebetter price or something.... aaaaah....

so.... we were getting married Sat Oct 7 06 in the afternoon and paying $62 pp.... can anyplace beat that that you have priced?

if so, i might do a little further investigating before going to meet our new BM next weekend... we only paid the initial deposit so far....

please help!
thank you!!!

I would first meet your new BM and see if you like him/her... However in my experience, the BM's role is really only to book your wedding and to be a contact person if you should have any questions before the big day. The BM may or may not be there on your wedding day... The maitre'd runs the show on your wedding day, so the BM won't have much say on your actual wedding day.

If you like you hall, I would stay with it. That's an incredible price and I don't think you will find too many places that will beat that...

ETA: That my own BM that I really liked has left my catering hall... In the meantime, I have spoken with another BM at my catering hall regarding a few questions I had and they were a great help... My BM leaving has not affected me one bit...

it's frustrating... and i had a few bad experiences with BMs at other catering halls before I found mine, so I think I loved her even more because of it and am scared now...

It took me a while to learn this lingo, and it depends on context, hehe... BM in my post means banquet manager, but it can mean bestman or bridesmaid too
