Bradford Weddings & Events

en. From start to finish Debra was incredibly disorganized, unprofessional, and her communication was awful. Overall- a total mess, completely incompetent, and let down. She added so much extra stress and work to our wedding. We booked BWE for month of and day of coordination and I wanted to rent items from her. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with Debra and her team throughout the process (EVEN THE MONTH OF). I had to outreach her several times trying to relay specifics and ask questions and even then, she would disregard my questions (I have record of all the unanswered emails). She rarely responded to direct emails and every single time, without fail, when we had a planning meeting she was late or forgot- even the first meeting. Her lack of communication resulted in her missing every detail. I had a bad feeling but didn’t cancel her which was a mistake. At the initial consultation Debra asked me to coordinate a time for her to walk through the venue with me. I coordinated it with the venue and 2 days before she canceled. She assured me at the initial consultation and through the first meetings BWE would handle all the vendor coordination, timeline, design, & setup/break down. She literally did almost none of it day of. Our friends & family had to work their butts off to make up for her. I told her multiple times we would will have wine bottles on the tables for dinner (she forgot them so family rushed to distribute) and I rented water carafes that never made it on the tables. Her timeline was a disaster & had no details on it. I had to send it back for edits countless times (even after a phone call & email with details she got every detail wrong when creating). It looked like something a 3rd grader could have made. Throughout the entire process she'd forget every detail I’d tell her and send me all kinds of incorrect info (sent me other peoples timelines twice by accident). Even after the walk through she got every detail about the venue, floor plan, vision, and ceremony totally wrong. For example I sent her the seating chart several times, day of she arranged the table numbers completely wrong and put the wrong amount of seats at each table. Debra showed up to the walk through late and complained to me about getting a speeding ticket on the way. She also insisted on picking up the cakes and cookies from costco the day of which I didn’t ask her to do. She forgot all the cookies and a cake so our friends had to rush to get them day of. She blamed me for the mistake when even the order form said the correct amount. She also insisted on comping us chairs for the ceremony then complained to me about when she ended up not bringing enough and our friends did all the set up and take down. Also, I would have rented more items but she never sent me pictures I asked for many times. BWE was extremely rude to my mom and family day of and even the groom and many of our guests complained about her being disrespectful. It was clear she had no idea what was going on the entire time and did not want to be there day of. Our vendors all mentioned communication disasters with her as well. Debra claimed she went above and beyond but only added work, stress, and issues. I could continue with the issues. Look else where to an actual professional.

ll Debra was incredibly organized. Any questions I did have she was able to answer smoothly. I worked with Debra for 9 months before our wedding in Colorado, as I am living in Texas. Despite me being out of state Debra handled everything for me and not for a second did I feel worried. She frequently checked in with me over text and phone calls to make sure I was doing okay, and if I needed any assistance. The team responded to texts, phone calls and emails within a timely manner. She drove two hours each way to be at the final walkthrough, and to be exceptionally early to help wedding day. She planned all of the decorations that all turned out stunning and exactly as I wanted. The team was extremely attentive to all details. She brought along Allie, an assistant, and Makaela, who was in training. All three of these women were beyond professional and so helpful wedding day. I did not bat an eye of worry, and enjoyed every single second of my wedding. Her pricing is beyond fair and I HIGHLY recommend Debra Bradford Weddings and Events. 5/5 stars across the board!!

my own choices and helped when I asked for it! Although she was only hired for day-of planning, she was in touch with me from the start! She was very organized and was easy to get ahold of all throughout the process! Deb also did my florals for the event and they turned out GORGEOUS!!! She executed my vision for florals more flawlessly than I could have ever imagined! 10/10 recommend her for planning and florals!!!

I didn’t even know to ask. Good thing she already knew the answer! Everything couldn’t have been more perfect. It was absolutely the best day of my life. Thank you Debra!!!

ff without a hitch. We are so thankful for her and her team. They provided beautiful linens and last minute decor after our venue didn’t come through as they said with some florals. She decorated using the supplies in a way more stunning than I ever dreamed of. She made our day truly beautiful and magical; my family was blown away by her ability. If you’re having a wedding, you need a coordinator, and Debra is the best around. From the planning process, to the rehearsal, to the big day. She was always there when needed and made our dreams come true.

. We were so glad to have them there!

om my dreams and I could not be more thankful for her and her team. I would recommend her to anyone!!

eded to finalize all the important details that may have otherwise been missed! She was very responsive to our constant questions and needs, and handled our mental breakdowns (stress hit the best of me) with such professionalism! Her ability to take so many different peoples demands/wishes and find common ground was so reassuring! Thank you Bradford’s for making our day!!

d this day off without Bradford Weddings and Events. Even in the wind and rain during our outdoor wedding they did not give up on making our dreams come true. I was told by everyone and their mother to move my wedding to the church but they knew that was not what I wanted. Through hell and high waters my wedding was pulled off outside (and under a lot of tents). I was a very go with the flow bride, but every one of my bridezilla family members had an opinion. Deb and her team found compromises for my family while still ensuring my vision for the day stayed true. Having the calmness of a wedding planner through the emotional and literal storms of our day was priceless. Deb and her team’s generosity and determination throughout our entire planning processes and day of allowed my now husband and I to not have to worry about my overbearing family members and focus on our excitement. My wedding was better than I ever could’ve imagined it would be and I truly mean this when I give all of the credit to this team.

park! Not only that but any issues that arose she took on and figured out without hesitation. She also kept us on track time wise ensuring we would stay on schedule (the day is so crazy it's just a blur so to have that extra attention was priceless!). Thank you so much for everything!

k with. I highly recommend Bradford Wedding and Events.

edding. We couldn’t of been more happy and now she plans all of our events! I highly recommend Bradford Weddings & Events!
