Alterations & Veils by Beatrice

hroughout the internet. Posted by brides who have been overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. Recognized by the Wedding industry year after year with awards as one of the best and at times as the best. Altering Wedding Gowns is her specialty, and her skills and talent are always in high demand! Her time is extremely valuable and best suited where it is needed the most, sewing! Therefore, I am Mr. Rodriguez, Beatrice‘s husband. I am the one responding to this review on behalf of Beatrice. I have known Ms. Bea for over 40 years, and she has been an exceptional wife! Most of us know that there are two sides to each story. When all is said and done, we usually have a better (understanding) of what occurred. Ashley’s review is all over the place. So please bear with me, as I will attempt to clarify Ashley’s allegations. (Ashley state’s) She does not write appointment dates! (Reply) Totally absurd! How were you then able to make your first consultation and pickup your dress etc. etc. etc.… (Ashley state’s) We ended up picking up my dress 3 weeks late. (Reply) I am amazed at how meticulous and the painstaking effort you took to try and assassinate Beatrice’s character and livelihood. Yet, it seems that you so conveniently forgot to mention that the delay was caused by a HOT CHECK !!! A check for a payment that was past due. A payment Bea was supposed to have received weeks earlier. When the Check Finally arrives, it was NO GOOD! Ashley tried every trick in the book to pick up and take the dress before Beatrice got the Hot Check. When the Hot Check issue was brought to Ashley’s attention, and Beatrice refused to proceed working on her dress, she went Ballistic. Ashley, You became extremely hostile and demanded your dress to be finished. All along reminding Beatrice of all the supposedly rights you possess as customer. You were trying to impose your will, simultaneously trying to get away with a HOT CHECK!!! You post a review and pretend to be a victim. Here are some words and phrases you wrote to assault Beatrice’s character. That she was= Defensive, screamed, went off the handle, She tried to blame me, She's rude, incredibly cocky. Everything you are accusing Beatrice of being, is what you did. It would be impossible to stay in business for so long and have any sort of success with this type of behavior. Your lovely mother showed up with you to ONLY one appointment. Your attitude embarrassed her to such a degree that she walked out and never came back with you. Till the day she picked up the dress for you. Yet without you! (Ashley state’s) She never received the check, and it was lost in the mail, this was also never communicated until I consistently followed up on the check status.  (Reply) Once again Ashley is trying to pin the blame on Beatrice. If Ashley was truly consistently following up on the check status as she stated, two things would have occurred. First, she would have discovered that it was a HOT CHECK and second that Beatrice had not received it. Now Ashley, If you would have just fulfilled your financial commitment everything would have been smooth sailing. I understand that we are going through unprecedented times. We always try to work with customers that are financially challenged or experiencing hardship. There was no need for you to take the low road. Beatrice is not only an exceptional loving wife, but she’s also my best friend! And as a husband and friend, please allow me to tell you a little bit about this precious lady. Beatrice is amazingly funny. She is loyal, generous, and honest. Beatrice is a dedicated and a very hard-working person. Always going over and above her call of duty to please her customers. Considered by many to be a perfectionist. I agree! Beatrice considers her talent to be a gift from God. This is her passion! She truly enjoys what she does. With Beatrice, You always get what you pay for! You will get a perfect fit! You will get it on time! And you will never have to take else where to get it repaired

ice's character and business obligated me to do so. Beatrice has been in business for 30+ years. Beatrice has always treated every customer with the same kind of respect and attention that every customer deserves, including you. You were not treated any different. Mrs. Beatrice and I go back almost 40 years. I am truly blessed to have married a lady who is unwavering and totally committed to uphold her vows. She is respectable, loving, funny, kind, giving, caring, compassionate and friendly. With everybody; no exceptions! Being that her expertise and talents are in high demand she is extremely busy and could not personally respond to your review. There is a lot of stuff that you left out from this review. Remember the metaphor used in court between Integrity n virginity? That, the one thing Integrity and virginity have in common, is that when it's gone it's gone, that when it's lost its lost! In the last line of this review you stated that it took you a long-time n courage to write a review. Well like so many of your other statements and allegations, this is not true. Remember YELP eight months ago, right after you received an unfavorable judgment, you posted a brutal review, (01/02/2019) ring the bell. In matter of fact you are doing a great disservice to the brides who could really benefit of Beatrice's expertise and years of experience. I will try to be as thorough but concise as possible with the sequence of events. February 28th, 2018, you show up with a picture of a model wearing your dress. You wanted to know if you were going to like the STYLE of the dress once it got FITTED. Fast forward August 6th final fitting. Out of nowhere for the very first time you show up with someone by the name of (Ms. Crudo). We later discovered that she turned out to be a PAID witness. You were exposed of conspiring to extort money from Beatrice. According to the signed agreement during the initial consultation, you knew that all balances were due at the final fitting. You tried on your gown during final fitting. You were asked if everything was fine and you said yes. Are you paying your balance today, asked Beatrice? I will think about it, was what you replied. You left the studio without the dress because you did not pay the balance due. We were three weeks ahead of schedule. The dress was fitted perfectly. You left the studio, Beatrice sent you a text at 4:11pm just a few minutes after you left the studio. Beatrice was letting you know that you could picked up your dress as early as the following day Tuesday at 1:00 pm or Thursday at 5:00 pm. Your response, " Do not do any more work on my gown". Beatrice response, Sarah please call to set up an appointment to pick up your gown. I have pictures of the text messages. Yet you keep claiming again and again that Beatrice refused to give you your gown. Blatant lie! August 10th and again on Aug. 16th, 2018 through false allegations you succeeded to convince your credit card company and reversed two transactions. August 10th case # 0318221501922 $475.00 August 16th case # 0318227502030 $300.00 When we presented the facts to YOUR credit card company. We were able to debunk your false statements. Both charges were reversed. Is the reason why you stated that "She is not a good person and that she has the POWER to make your life hell." You are right Sarah about the power she has, it's called (TRUTH) integrity. Next thing we know, by the way you always seem to forget this part of your testimony. Right after the chargebacks, we received a certified letter from you. In it you were Threatening us with a lawsuit if we did not comply with your outrageous demands. You were the one who put Beatrice through living hell it wasn’t the other way. I was the one who decided to put an end to your bullying. I went and did something we had never done in over thirty plus years of business. We Filed a lawsuit against you. About two weeks before the court, Beatrice is so stressed, that I was compelled to make you an offer. This was my offer that I sent through text. Hi Sarah, I would prefer to settle and get this issue behind us. You won’t have to pay the $400.00 balance; you will get your dress back and I will refund all your money back $1,250.00. If you agree both parties will file motion to dismiss. You refused because you thought you could get a lot more money. Instead you counter-sue and were claiming $7,761.22. We go to trial on December 6th, 2018 with Justice of Peace Dain Johnson Pct. 1 Round Rock TX. You presented your case and we presented ours. We were instructed that we would receive JP’s Judgment through email. On Dec. 31st, 2018. Judgment comes in and You were awarded ZERO. The Judge was able to pick up on your scheme. In all fairness we were awarded Zero, but keep in mind that we did not have to pay you a single penny of the $7,761.22. We did not have to refund you any payments ($1,250). And the Judge saw that the dress was impeccable, and he allowed us to keep it. Case # IJC- 18-1508 Williamson County, TX Public Records (see for yourself). One would think that this would have been a major and final blow to Sarah's schemes. But no! December 31st, 2019 when Jp Dain Johnson’s judgment arrives through email. Sarah make a bee line to the Travis county courthouse and files a lawsuit. Case # J5-cv-19-251354 December 31st, 2018 Travis county pct 5 Judge Nicholas Chu. She now claims $3,500.00 in compensation. Trial date set for August 29th, 2019 3:30 pm. Now Court is in session Mrs. Murphy opens, and begins with a vicious assault on Beatrice's character and Sarah could not refrain from her false allegations. And she just went on and on and on. IT’s our turn to present our defense. Within five minutes of my opening, the Judge stops me and asked me for some proof or evidence of what I was declaring. And I immediately approached the bench and gave the JP what he requested. Jp reads the documents puts them down. Addresses his full attention to Ms. Sarah Murphy, and replies " I have no choice, but to close this case!" Ms. Murphy tries to persuade the Judge to continue the hearing. Sarah tells Judge Nicolas Chu that she was ONLY countersuing. Judge said NO, you’re not countersuing; you are SUING, and this case is close! Sarah 1st dispute August 10th case # 0318221501922 $475.00 = Loss for Sarah Sarah 2nd dispute August 16th case # 0318227502030 $300.00 = Loss for Sarah December 6th Williamson County case # IJC- 18-1508 $7,761.22 = Loss for Sarah August 29th, 2019 Travis County case # J5-cv-19-251354 $3,500.00 = Loss for Sarah Actions have consequences. TRUTH is a very powerful weapon. It can make your life very miserable when Truth is used to expose your dishonest schemes!
