Belle Beauty Design and Events By Stacy Lunceford

caterer, bartending staff, re-use of chairs . WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR NON- PROFESSIONAL VENDORS We offer complete set up of ceremony and reception (does not include relocation of chairs from ceremony to reception). Ashley has been so kind to include that yes, while she and David decided to save the money and order one set of chairs, she fails to mention that she advised me that their groomsmen would be moving the 200+ chairs at 12 lbs each between the ceremony and the reception time frame. (see attached email) Who would have set up these chairs if we did not offer to do so? " Ashley Johnson <abrooke.johnson2012@gmail.com> Sun 8/15/2021 10:18 AM Hey Stacy, I wanted to follow up on an idea i had for the reception and ceremony chairs. Since we are now using one set of chairs for both I thought we could have the groomsmen carry the chairs to the reception while David and I and family have pictures after the ceremony. Since we are doing pictures before the ceremony with David and I having a first look and having pictures with the bridal party before the ceremony I thought this would work. Let me know your thoughts." "Stacy Lunceford Mon 8/16/2021 1:33 PM Hi Ashley, I think that would work for the chairs. " Then finding out at the rehearsal (the day before the wedding) that they would not like to have the groomsmen move the chairs nor ask their guest (because she thought this was going to be tacky) to move the chairs, after the ceremony. This is why we did not have our "set up staff" available. This is also something we traditionally add additional fees for and is not included in our contract . This is extremely time consuming and something that caused a delay in every aspect of the event. We advised Ashley multiple times to have two sets of chairs to avoid this issue. We wanted to also address this statement about decor. When in fact the only thing not set up, decor wise, was two bar signs. Of which, were given to the "bartenders" and asked of them to set up at the bar. These so to speak "bartenders"were cafeteria staff from the hospital of which bridal party members were friends with. We also wanted to address that while yes, Ashley did ultimately choose her vendors that it is not for a lack our suggestions. We suggested photographers, videographers, caters, bands, etc. but ultimately she decided who she wanted to go with vendors of her choice. Ultimately, choosing a caterer who also was a member of the hospital staffing and had little to no experience in outside events. (vendor suggestion email correspondence available) The caterer and bartending staff were not professional caterers or bartenders leaving us to try and ultimately do their jobs. We reached out to multiple ice cream resources in order to give David and Ashley options. Unfortunately, they were unable to make a decision, like with most other vendors, until the last month prior to their wedding. Once again, multiple correspondence between the vendors that Ashley is not aware of. Ultimately, Ashley was not able to make a decision until she was forced to because of time restraints. Much like other vendors. First correspondence with the ice cream company of which she ultimately went with was received pricing/ pick up / etc. was March of 2021. This is not including the 4 other ice cream vendors that we had correspondence with. She ultimately choose the original ice cream vendor that we reached out to in March. With her final confirmation in until August 2021. Unfortunately, Ashley had a issue with making decisions throughout the planning processes. Ultimately leaving us to not know which direction to go with. The week of her wedding she was questionionning her florist and potentially wanting to hiring someone else. Ashley ultimitley did not know what she wanted and therefore we were unable to provide a cohesive plan. Once again, we appreciate any feedback from our clients. However, we do not want to allow false allocations to be put out their. Which is why we are happy to address any issue that any clients may have. We also keep a detailed correspondence of every interaction with our clients and vendors so that nothing is left for interpretation. Ultimately we think Ashley and David had a beautiful wedding and wish them both all the best in life. We can only hope that moving forward they will be able to find the good in everything and and not dwell on the little things that no one will remember. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding and we wish you all the best. .
