You only get to have a wedding once (well that’s the hope of course). When hiring a wedding planner it is the hope and expectation that it make the whole process easier because the person you pick brings experience. If I can give any bride ad...vice and save them from going through what I did, I would urge them not to go with Amanda Rose weddings.
Two weeks before my wedding, they quit. No one in the company even bothered to call me. Amy, the planner, just sent me an email stating "After much thought and consideration I have decided that it is best for us to part ways. In the contract you signed it states that either party can cancel this Agreement, in writing, for any reason." They made no attempt to contact me to discuss their issues. In addition, they are refusing to return the deposit, leaving me on the hook for two planners, Amanda Rose and the replacement company I had to hire in a panic.
As if it couldn't get worse, the day before she quit, Amy met with the vendors at the venue and caused much more harm than good. During the two-hour meeting (I was not able to be there as I was in California and the location had poor cell reception), she gave false information to the caterer causing her to freak out (she incorrectly told her she could not use the kitchen at the venue among other things). Because of her actions, the relationship with the caterer was irreparably damaged and I had to part ways with her. (It turned out ok cause I found an amazing caterer in Tina with Bluffton Oyster Company and the caterer I had to fire returned my deposit fully)
In all, Amanda Rose Weddings did not fulfill there contract with me, sticking me with additional wedding costs, costing me my caterer, and putting a big cloud over my bachelorette weekend (oh yeah, she quit while I was on my way to my bachelorette weekend), and communicating poorly through sometimes very rude response. I had to spend the last two weeks of planning looking for a caterer and wedding planner when I should have been focusing on small details (there were many things I just never ended up doing because there was no time).
I know that their prices and packages look tempting, but please trust me that it is worth the money to go with anyone else.
PS. I got married to the love of my life on May 12, 2017 with our closest 50 family and friends, everything went beautifully, no issues. I recommend Danielle and Steffen with Amazing rentals, Tina with Bluffton Oyster Company, Peter with Advanced A/V Rentals and Jody with Mayesh Flowers.
