BAO Events

s were. Without Brittany, I'm sure a lot of details wouldn't have come together. She's truly a great person and wedding planner!!

was 10.8.2016 at the River Landing in Wallace, NC. Of course, with my luck, my ENTIRE wedding was outdoors- the ceremony, the reception, you name it! I have to applaud Brittany for her work, especially when we were a week out. I was broken hearted as I watched this storm for weeks, take it's sweeeet time in moving into the U.S. I had been planning my wedding for 2 years and Brittany had been with me for almost a year of that. She knew every last detail and was CRUCIAL during those last few days when I was more than overwhelmed with what decisions to make with the upcoming storm. As all of my vendors were on the East Coast of NC, Brittany & the Venue had to have that "tough conversation" with me a few days before my wedding. It was a possibility that even if I decided to push forward with my event, my wedding could still be shut down if there was a State of Emergency and/or evacuations. As it was, many of my vendors had already communicated they would NOT be traveling up on Saturday if the Hurricane did hit, even though RL made miracles to move my wedding indoors. Brittany handled all of those communications with the Vendors for me during that week as it was becoming increasingly upsetting and stressful. The thing I most appreciated, was her honesty during the whole experience. She laid out all my options, and her and the venue sat through a few teary eyed phone calls. She gave me the tough love when i needed it- as overwhelming as it all was, she kept reminding me it was "my decision" to make. At the end of the day, my wedding was postponed just a few days before my event. Brittany handled all the postponement communications as my mother and I cried our eyes out. Brittany and Jenna, (from the River Landing) were almost like therapists during those final hours. Often listening to me repeat over and over again how "this couldn't be happening" and "it's just not fair". I'm happy to say now, that i think I made the right decision. And it was Brittany's words "tammy... what do you want?" and if i was honest? I still wanted my dream wedding; not some make shift, in door wedding. I wanted all my vendors there. I didn't want to settle. So I've rescheduled for March 2016! it turned out, my guests (who are out of state) would have likely gotten stuck at the Venue and unable to get home as the local rivers flooded and blocked off many routes, including 95. I was so appreciative of Brittany's work that I elected to have my wedding on a Sunday, just so BAO can work on it! I had the option of doing it on Saturday and would have been more convenient, but I couldn't imagine going through the Tammy Wedding 2.0 without BAO! (and Jenna from RL of course). I'm excited to write a post-wedding day review in just a few months! Put your mind at ease and choose BAO. (also.... I HIGHLY recommend wedding insurance! Protect yourself from the unthinkable).

not get a single penny back of whatever you paid her!! Brittany will keep all of your money and eventually stop answering your calls/texts/emails. She may be amazing if she actually makes it to the wedding... but if she doesn't don't hold your breath for your refund.

lessly executed and whats best is, if there were any hiccups I never knew. They really did make my day the most enjoyable as possible. Brittany really does give each and every couple her undivided attention. You would never know she has events almost every weekend if she didn't tell you. She has a true servants heart and her passion for these events really shines. I would recommend BAO to any and everyone looking to organize an event. They really are THAT good!

as helpful with any questions or concerns and always got back to me promptly. We cannot thank her enough for the wonderful job she did!

gether. I ended up having to cancel my wedding a year in advance due to unfortunate circumstances and talked to Brittany about getting back any part of our deposit. First she said she was going to have to see what percentage she could refund us because she couldn't give us 100% back, then after two weeks went by she said she was trying to find the contract which she said I signed. Then she told me she couldn't refund me any of the money unless she rebooked for the same date as my wedding was. I asked her to send me a copy of my signed contract stating that just so I could cover myself and have proof, because I never even remembered signing a contract. She preceded to keep saying she could not find the contract, then she would not respond to my emails. After a year I finally got a hold of her for her to tell me it was a "monetary" contract! I have never heard such a thing! Needless to say I am not getting my money back which I would have understood and had no problem with if I just saw the contract myself stating that! I still am just mind boggled at the fact that she lied and kept saying different things to me when it could have been simple from the beginning. I am very upset, I have never dealt with a business owner as incompetent and unorganized as her. She may be great at weddings, I wouldn't know but as far as handling this situation I am beside myself. It seems like one big joke to me. I just received a letter in the mail with a permanent injunction against Knot's Landing. The injunction states no tents, no port-o-pottys, no excess cars, etc. After speaking with the lawyers pursuing this case they in fact told me BAO events and the owners of Knot's Landing are definitely working together (she says they do not work together) and have known about this for months and haven't told any of the brides planning their weddings here. The lawyers also told me there are always police called on the venue while weddings are going on and various complaints from neighbors. I was told by Brittany beforehand that I could have a tent, port-o-pottys, the area could park 20+ cars and that there were never problems with neighbors or police etc. I am so thankful I cancelled my wedding at this venue and especially with these planners who would have ruined my whole day! I was supposed to get married there next month and was just told yesterday about all this! I could not imagine this happening if I was still having my wedding there! Be advised of these people who clearly scam people together (especially out of staters). A good business owner would have more than a "monetary" spoken contract, and actually something written on paper! When I try to contact the owner she says she will get a restraining order on me if I continue to contact her when all I have been asking for this entire time is this mysterious contract

about the industry. She was super helpful! I would recommend her to other brides!

nd to any questions I had and was also great in helping plan for things I hadn't even thought of! The day of, she coordinated everything and I got to simply enjoy the day. The wedding and reception ran seamlessly, and if there were any issues, she did a great job of not letting me know about them and kept my day completely stress free!!! I highly recommend using her for help with planning and especially for her "day-of-coordinator" services. Having her there to coordinate things allows you to truly just enjoy your day with friends and family and with none of the extra stress!

.

arried to contact her. She treats you like a friend and wants every bit of the best for you.

mps I did not see or hear of them. I can not thank them enough for all there gard work to make our special day so beautiful. I highly recommend Brittany and her team. She is incrediable!

lk with my Dad beside me and Brittany behind me holding my dress I was so nervous as I got closer all I remember is saying " Brittany talk to me, I'm Nervous lol ", she not only created the perfect day but she help to hold me together... and for that could not have asked for a better day. The team of vendors really worked seamlessly with one another. My guests said that it was “The Best Wedding I Have Ever Been To” Just those words alone made me so happy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You will come highly recommended.”
