Same as others, I'm afraid. In May I took advantage of a post she had on Instagram regarding availability the weekend of my wedding. She offered 15% off. I paid in full for rentals...
for my wedding in September and then communication completely stopped. I had no way to get in touch with her, as her email, phone, and Instagram had all been cut off. Thankfully others had posted their experiences on here so I wasn't caught completely off guard and was able to purchase the items I needed for my wedding. Waste of money - what a shame. I'm so sorry to all the other brides this has happened to.
I hired Julia in September 2022 for my wedding Oct 1, 2023. I paid her in full by November 2022 to get 10% off (which I did not receive.) Julia was hard to get ahold of. She never ...
provided the examples she promised. She ignored requests to meet. She claimed she unresponsive due to her grandmother being I’ll and taking care of her. I finally got her to meet with me in July 2023, which brought me great relief. She promised much more than I originally requested. In august she responded to me about which meal she wanted at my wedding. I’m September she was unresponsive and her phone had been shut off. Julia was supposed to provide all decor, arch and arch floral, as well as all table styling for our wedding. She left us high and dry only a week before our wedding to get supplies and rally friend and family to help decorate our entire wedding. BEWARE. Like many other brides Julia took our money and ran. She had many excuses leading up to this. It left me sick the week of our wedding.
Total Scam ... I'm sad to say that i am one of this lady's (Julia Ramires) victims.
She called me repeatedly until I put down a deposit for decorations for our wedding, then when...
I went to call/ email / look at her website it all goes to dead ends.
I was afraid of this when I booked with her and now its apparent that she will not be working by wedding in May 2024.
Con artist. My daughter lost $5700.00 because it became apparent that she took the money with no intent of delivering or fulfilling what she said she was going to do. Two weeks pr...
ior to the wedding we had to find tables, chairs, dance floor and take care of all the coordination (which we were already doing due to her lack of ability or interest). This wedding was in a remote location and we were fortunate to find Colorado Rentals, Santa Fe and all hands were on deck so their wedding was not ruined. She has disputed the charges, but I will be filing complaints and pursuing whatever action is necessary to prevent her from ruining other’s weddings. Her M.O. to is to just open another business under a slightly different name and continue to screw people. She will get what is coming to her, but in the meantime don’t become one of her victims.
I booked wedding decor items from Julia with Beloved rentals in August of 2022. At the time her reveiws, website and referrals all seemed legitimate. I paid Julia a little over $1...
600. I've met with her in person and have had many conversations via email/text as well. She confirmed everything roughly 2 weeks before my wedding. My wedding was on 9/2/2023. On 9/1/2023 I discovered that her phone # has been disconnected and her social media is gone. She never showed up for my wedding. She basically took my money and ran. Who knows how many more that haven't left reveiws or still do not know what is to come. Very sad situation, my wedding became extremely stressful, scrambling to figure out what to do and I wouldn't wish that on any bride!
This is a scam. Do not use!
Scam artist stay away. Took our money and ran.
SCAM ALERT!! ⚠️
Would not recommend this vendor whatsoever..she herself hosted a wedding raffle in which I won, which promised 2 giftcards from other vendors which I had to ask about multiple time...
s to get them otherwise I probably never would've gotten possession of them. The raffle winnings also promised $500 in party rentals from her company and it's been like pulling teeth to get those rentals secured for an upcoming wedding. The owner is super unresponsive, unreliable, and will promise things that she won't follow through on..not sure how or why someone runs their own business this way but good thing I went another direction on wedding decor because I would've been left without any decorations for my wedding day...not a trustworthy vendor.
The took my money now zero communication
Website email comes back as mailer demon and phone does not work. Do not use them!
This lady is running a scam. I have paid her in full for rentals for my wedding on 9/22/2023 and I can no longer get in contact with her. My last phone contact with her was on 8/11...
/2023 when she reassured me that my rental order was still good to go. Her phone is now disconnected and she still has not responded through her business portal to my questions. She has been reported through proper channels and I'm seeking a refund which still has yet to be received.
If I could give no stars it would still be too high of a rating for Julia of Beloved Rentals. I paid her a total of $1900 dollars for planning and coordination as well as paid to r...
ent items for my 09/16/23 wedding. Fri 8/11/23 was the last contact I had with her and since then zero response. Last payment was pain in June of 2023. Now I had to spend more money to fill what she will not provide for me and have my family set up and tear down when I just wanted them to enjoy the wedding. I have been ghosted through text by Julia and all her social media has been deleted. I have now way to contact her or try to attempt to get a refund, since services were not rendered. DO NOT do business with this lady. Apparently I am not the only one she has scammed. I think that us dupped brides need to see about some legal action to recoup money that was basically stolen.
Bride here of a wedding that was supposed to have been outfitted by Beloved Rentals & Design on 8/12/23. Julia called at 8pm the night before my wedding to tell our coordinator (Sh...
elby at La Luz - who is absolutely the BEST) she would not be able to come due to a hospitalization. Reviews from The Knot, Wedding Wire, and others indicate she has been using this excuse for the past 2 months, at least, for not showing up or not providing what was contracted. Our coordinator had to contact other rental companies to provide plates, forks, glasses, chairs, and misc. decor items less than 24 hours before our event. You can imagine this cost us thousands of dollars on top of what we had already paid Julia up front for these items and services.
As of today, her emails are getting bounced back, she is unresponsive via text, and phone calls are ignored. I cannot discourage you enough, do NOT hire Beloved Rentals for your wedding or event. Read reviews from other wedding sites and hire Shelby at La Luz if you want your wedding to go smoothly even when your rental company bails on you!
Scam artist. Fraud. Do not hire under any circumstances. Never showed up for my wedding. Let me know night before. Basically claiming the owner wrecked her car and died..yet I see...
another bride with my same date said this clown showed up to her wedding but was a complete s*** show.
We paid Julia $24k for goods and services. By my accounting, she actually delivered only about $6k worth.
Throughout the process, she was disorganized and non-responsive. When she...
would respond, the work she put together was rarely what we asked for (e.g., the wedding programs and signage were laden with errors) resulting in us needing to micromanage her work. I ended up doing the majority of the planning and organizing myself, much to the bewilderment of others. ("Isn't this the wedding planner's job?" was a constant refrain.).
In the days leading up to the wedding, she seemed remarkably calm given all the things that still needed to be done. We offered to roll up our sleeves and help fold programs, assemble party favors, and assemble florals, etc. She continued to rebuff our requests for help, insisting that she and her team would handle it. My mistake was in believing her.
We became increasingly nervous as time went on and her team never showed up, nor did she seem in any rush to handle all the myriad tasks herself either. Predictably, our wedding day was spent with our ~100 guests frantically scrambling to do all the tasks, including driving to WalMart to pickup tables and tents. Imagine my disappointment when the beautiful furniture and florals that were supposed to be delivered were replaced white plastic folding tables. This was completely avoidable and inexcusable.
The other vendors we hired said they had never witnessed such a disheveled affair and one personally apologized to me on Julia's behalf.
The morning after the wedding, I awoke to find the venue still covered in trash and debris from the night before and having only two hours to clean it up before brunch at the same venue. I texted Julia to let her know that the state of affairs was unacceptable, especially since my guests were now picking up trash. She did eventually show up, but we had already cleaned everything ourselves. In the cleanup process, I was heartbroken to find a 50 gallon trash can full of all the florals I'd paid for, but that were never put out.
I don't have the words to accurately convey what a deep disappointment and heartbreak this was. This should have been the most beautiful and wonderful day of my life and instead it was a frantic disaster that was only a fraction of what it could been had Julia been more organized and better at time management and communication. I only wish I could take it back and hire a different planner and stylist.
I did receive an email apology from her and an offer to refund us the day after the wedding. I am hopeful, but not optimistic, the refund will actually come. I will update this posting if it does.
Beloved Rentals and the owner Julia are one of my favorite parts of my wedding planning process! I had a head full of design ideas that she so very patiently helped me turn into a ...
cohesive reality. She took the time to discuss every little detail that I could possibly come up and was always incredibly responsive (which is so important when you are a type A bride on a wedding mission)! I trusted her entirely with my vision and sometimes even asked her to make choices for me because I was certain she knew better. She even extended her eye for colors to helping me select things like flowers, invitations & signage so everything was beautifully cohesive. She has an incredible selection of rentals and what she may not have she will absolutely find for you so decor and aesthetic were an absolute dream to create with her. She always had thoughtful and personal responses to my questions (or last minute design idea panic) and met with me many times to walk through our designs. Beyond her incredible eye for wedding design, Julia was an amazing person to be around and work with and I feel lucky to have developed a friendship with her in the process so our planning was full of joy and laughs, not stress. She is attentive,kind and oh so very patient and truly takes the bride and her style into account. Julia helps create YOUR dream wedding by helping you piece it all together into one completely unique and memorial event.
Do not do business with Beloved Rentals. You would be better off DIYing or literally any other business. I was a bridesmaid for my bestie’s wedding in charge of decorating and they...
failed to bring ALL decor except for one couch that was the wrong color. And then they GHOSTED my friend and did not follow up or pick up the one couch on time. Unprofessional, uncommunicative, and straight up incompetent. I cannot stress enough, they don’t deserve your money.
I hired Julia for a styled photoshoot near Alamogordo, NM in 2021. She was on time, pleasant, and jumped right in. We had lots of communication leading up to the day of. I was so p...
leased with her, I have hired her for rentals and for wedding styling for my wedding.
I hired Julia and I am so glad I did. She did our decor design and SPECTACULAR is an understatment. Julia's decor was the perfect, classy and eye catching touch for our event! She ...
executed an amazing design and working with her made the preperation for the event so much smoother! I am so happy with what she did and I can't wait to work with her again for any of my decor needs!
We rented tables and benches from this lady for our wedding and paid her to deliver them the day before the wedding. She didn’t show up until 12:00 at night. Not only was that a pr...
oblem, when we started unloading them we quickly realized they were not what the pictures showed. They were beat up and broken with parts missing. Random stains and just terrible overall appearance. But wait there’s more, the tables and benches were in pieces and she gave us a big box of random bolts and screws and left us to put all these random miss matching parts together. Then when she picked them up and I expressed how displeased I was, she said no problem that she would refund us the delivery fee that we had already paid. We are now over a month past when she ruined our wedding and she has not returned any calls or attempts to contact her and we have not gotten any type of refund. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH “BELOVED RENTALS” I have no idea who left the prior reviews but they must have been mistaken with another business.
My husband and I only had a three month window to plan our wedding. Julia came highly recommended by our friends who got married last year and thankfully she was available for our ...
date. She was so sweet and very personable. Her pieces were absolutely adorable and the styling was well put together and aesthetically jaw-dropping. I loved the table canopy with the hanging lights as it added a magical, whimsical air to our wedding. Julia’s stylings married my childhood fantasies with grown-up elegance.
Julia was such a professional from the beginning I never had a doubt that things would go just as I had wanted. Our wedding day was by the far the most special day of our lives. Ju...
lia and her team literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all to make it even more special! Julia has a gift and those who experience her become richer because of it.
I was so excited talking with Julia at the beginning of our wedding planning. Everything she showed me and presented to me was the exact vision and dream we were looking for. In Ju...
ly, four months before our wedding, she requested that we pay the full balance for her services which was mildly concerning but we non the less paid it and trusted her. We set up the delivery time for the day of to be eight hours before the ceremony to make sure that all other venders had adequate time to place their items and set up. As the day went on and she did not show up as scheduled my increasingly frantic calls and texts went unanswered and unacknowledged by Julia. In the meantime, the dishes, florist, photographer, and the caterer were all waiting at the property unable to do their job wasting their time. When she finally arrived, it was an hour before the ceremony was going to start and we had to enlist wedding guests to help with the set-up, thus missing photo opportunities, helping the bride dress, and just overall creating a sense of franticness. When she finally arrived, the items provided were far from what was promised and paid for in advance. The quality was poor, one of the chairs was broken, multiple pieces had stains on them, and the tables were not real tables. Everything about working with Julia was disappointing. Her lack of empathy to how stressful the situation was and the last straw was waking up to her trying to get onto our property at dawn to retrieve the items she dropped off eight hours late the day before. After speaking with her on the phone she did agree to refund a portion of the cost and after sending her a detailed list of what we thought was a fair amount that was not provided or was not up to standard, we have yet to hear back from her. We not once received an apology or an acknowledgment of the poor services provided. My hope is that another bride will not have to experience this level of service by Julia and her lack of team.
