g for, and she even stated that she travels from the cape to the islands. Unfortunately, the weekend of my wedding included hurricane warnings and this lead to concerns for ferry cancellations and delays although ultimately the steamship authority ferries were able to run. On Wednesday morning Erica had texting me asking if I would like to pay for her to come over and stay at the hotel Thursday night so that she could start before 830 on Friday, and I declined saying that 830 was totally fine as a start since she said she would still be able to meet the deadline of 330. Erica texted me Thursday afternoon, the day before my wedding, and cancelled completely on me, citing that her ferry for the next day was to be cancelled (although the ferry she chose was cancelled there were other ferries running that day and multiple guests were able to make it over to the island that morning via steamship authority). I asked her if I could get her to come that night if I paid for her hotel for that night, and for the next if her ferry was to be cancelled and she said no as she wanted to be off of the island guaranteed after she did my makeup. I was completely in shock, it was a few hours before my rehearsal dinner and I left my guests at the beach to go into my hotel room and cry. Erica did not offer me any help in finding a new makeup artist, did not give me any suggestions, and couldn’t even be bothered to call me to discuss this or sound sincere in her replies. For her this wasn’t an important day but for me it was my wedding and I felt completely crushed. She was supposed to do my makeup but also the other 10 people in my bridal party. My bridesmaids then spent the rest of the afternoon before my rehearsal going from store to store on island trying to find false lashes and makeup so that we could do our own. Erica had also texted me that day that she would send my deposit back, but she did not. Per our contract, the deposit was non refundable and so she did not have to send it back, but she offered to refund me without me asking. It wasn’t until three weeks later after I was home from my honeymoon that I reached out to her and asked for my deposit to be returned, and she venmoed me the money without ever bothering to reply to my text. She was extremely unprofessional and I felt completely disposable and unimportant to her. It truly still upsets me to talk about even now a few months later. My vendors read our few texts that we had exchanged and were truly shocked. My DJ and hairstylist both came from off island and I was fortunate that they immediately reassured me that they would not be cancelling on me as this was an important commitment to them as well because they knew it was an extremely important day to me. I’m extremely disappointed in this situation and wish I had booked someone more reliable, compassionate, and professional.
