Having a great weekend until our videographer cancels

Sharlene, on May 20, 2019 at 01:12 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 14
So our videographer just cancelled on us less than 3 months before our wedding. They refunded all of our money, but now we have to try to find a replacement with 75 days and one that will travel to Jasper which is four hours from the capital city of Edmonton. Fingers crossed we will find someone!!!

    We booked. Extra $590, but she is a super sweet young lady and we will be keeping the same amount of coverage as we originally decided to have.

    My gosh, don't suppose that you had it in the contract that they were to find you a replacement or anything?

    As for finding somebody, I would think it would be okay but it's a matter of most of them just getting back to you. I know I waited until my 6 month mark before looking for one so that they would be more inclined to lower the price not only because we only need the ceremony recorded but because them being available means they can either make a little money - or none.

    Thanks. I gave that a try. Someone will surface, hopefully the right someone for our price point and desired amount of coverage.

    I think you should be fine to find someone else. You may get a deal too since it's so soon.. that is horrible though and still an extra stress you don't need.

    I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you, Sharlene.

    I hope you're able to find someone soon. There are some listed on the WeddingWire directory, might be helpful and save you some time to blast a couple with a copy and paste email and see if they're free Smiley smile

    Thanks Bianca. It does suck. We will find a replacement for sure. We are hoping that it doesn't come at a cost to the budget or the amount of coverage, but time will tell. Life circumstances had them close their business. We are working feverously to find a replacement within our budget. And we let them know that we were cancelled on, hoping that pulls on their heartstrings to help us out of the delema.

    Thank you Becky. I have been and I have my fiancé contacting people too. We are doing what we can and hoping for the best possible outcome and discussing what we will settle for if it comes to that.

    That sucks but you're absolutely going to find a replacement. What was their reason for cancelling?

    Sorry to hear Sharlene! This is disappointing and can be difficult at times. I wish you the best of luck on finding a new person. I know it can be difficult. I would send emails like crazy to anyone that you think could be an option and go from there.
