Each & Every Detail

l, several aspects of her service were deeply disappointing. Vendor Recommendations: Wendy’s vendor suggestions frequently did not align with our budget or preferences. Execution of Details: There was an over load of meetings and notes recounting all details for Wendy to “staff” properly and ensure details were executed, despite this she neglected the details. I provided detailed instructions and photos for place settings, however, they were executed incorrectly. The ceremony chairs, which were supposed to be uniform, ended up mismatched (see photo), and the aisle setup was so poorly done that my now husband had to fix it. Despite her claims of full service and design coordination, my mom and I ended up planning, designing, and picking out everything ourselves. Wendy’s team was promised to stay with the bridal party all day, but no one was present with us. With no guidance as to when we should head to the ceremony area or do pre-wedding photos. Wendy’s departure for lunch before the ceremony was not discussed as a plan, and although she mentioned she would not stay until midnight, she never indicated she would leave immediately after the ceremony. Critical details like setting out stepping lights were neglected, with lights left charging from the day before, and furniture for sitting areas was never set up. Day-of Coordination: On the wedding day, Wendy's absence during crucial moments added to our stress. When I asked her to bring a program to the photographer, she informed me she was going to lunch with her team and left me to try and find someone else (see text message screenshot). This was especially problematic since we had provided lunch for everyone on-site. Her absence led to a missed cake delivery and placement issues that I had to manage myself. Wendy’s team did not fulfill their promised role, leaving us without support. Communication Issues: Wendy’s excessive messaging asking questions (over 200 text messages and countless calls) to our family members, who were not involved in the planning process, caused confusion. She also directed unexpected issues with our rental vendor to be handled directly by me, contrary to her initial promise of being the direct contact for vendors. This disorganization on the day of meant our photographer and videographer had to step in to manage the timeline and coordination. Lack of Support: Wendy left immediately following the ceremony, and her minimal presence was noted with frustration by our vendors. The only reason we had our planned dances and speeches was that I had to personally coordinate these with the band’s MC. This lack of support put undue stress on my mom and added to our frustration. Conclusion: Wendy’s service fell short in many critical areas. Her lack of organization, poor communication, and minimal presence on the wedding day created significant stress and frustration. I hope this feedback helps future clients make a more informed decision. Unfortunately, our experience with Wendy from Each and Every Detail did not meet the high standards we had anticipated, especially considering her high cost. The only stress on my wedding day came from Wendy and her team.
