Everlasting Love Weddings

Shannon Martinez and her organization is Fraud!!! We got married at the court and did not have our wedding ceremony. In October we came up with the decision that we have to have our wedding. We started planning on everything. I have never had weddings before, so I really had no idea where to start from. I have tried to look for the venues myself, some are too expensive, some had nothing available for April the 23rd 2017(the day of our wedding) I have called several wedding planners, but their price for the full service was too highs then I kept searching for an inexpensive wedding planner. Finally,I requested quote online from one of the wedding planners: Shannon Martinez. I found her on online wedding magazine The Knot. She called me back and asked me, what was our budget for the wedding. I explained that we don't have much money to spend on the wedding and out budget is $10 000 and must include in it everything; dress,venue and all expenses. She said that she would give me good discounts. She quoted me $850.00 for her full service(finding venue, finding catering company, making decorations etc.) Her contract included everything and beyond! She kept calling everyday 2 or 3 times a day and asking if we decided to go with her and she would do anything for us. She said that she booked place for us and put down payment for us!!! and that we would pay her later Hahah!!! *lie*!!! we called the place, nothing was booked or paid!!! More than that she fakes the contracts!!! We requested our money back!! And she is still keep telling lies that she would pay us back!!! Full of crap!!! She will lie on everything!!! Beware!!! By the way she is awaiting on big surprise from law enforcement now for scamming a lot of people and getting away with it , leaving the couples disappointed!!! Never ever contact this person!!! It's better to get an expensive company to plan your wedding or plan it yourself ,never go cheap with this kind of people!!! I don't know how she does not fear God doing all these!!!

Do not use this "company". It is a fraud. Dee Dee/Shannon Martinez/Shannon Coleman met with me and my fiance in person - made a lot of great offers and we hired her. She then continued to say she was fulfilling promises she didn't keep. We paid her $300 to book a shuttle for our wedding - called the company she "booked" with and they have no record of her or our reservation. She kept the money and I am certain she never had any intention of showing up as my Day Of Coordinator to my wedding. To others who have been scammed by her, please go to the police and file a report. The more people that report her the more likely she is to get caught so she will stop scamming people. FYI - Not only have I gotten 3 names from her, I've gotten 3 phone numbers, 4-5 addresses, and she has 2 company names I know of - Everlasting Love Weddings and Weddings By Dee Dee.

This organization is a deceptive and fraudulent acting business- They signed a contract, took money and continued to deceive us into believing they would perform services at the wedding until after it started- THEY NEVER SHOWED UP!!! Do not let your wedding be ruined by them.

SCAM! Shannon Martinez aka Weddings by Dee Dee cancelled on me numerous times. After the third no call/no show due to "emergency room" incidents, I decided that she was causing me more stress than helping me out. So when I requested my deposit back Shannon/Dee Dee wrote me a bad check. It was not until I got the police involved that she actually gave me my refund. Beware! If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

My husband and I actually used Everlasting Love weddings for their Officiating service and their day of coordinator and believe me they gave us a great deal and a discount for using two of their services. From the day we signed with them they were always available to help us with questions or problems like, she even made our programs for us and our monogrammed cocktail napkins they never limited us on how many times we could contact us, and they returned messages very promptly . On the day of our wedding Shannon and her team followed the timeline we had written to a tee and made sure the band played the music in the order. They showed up to the venue about 9 am so they could decorate which allowed me more time to get ready because I didn't have to do it, Shannon performed a beautiful ceremony and then returned to th e venue to join her team and continued on through the night. I also liked that they locked the gifts up once everyone was seated. Best $600 I spent honestly I really recommend them to anyone.

Deedee did a great job at planning ny wedding, she got the colors just right on everything even down to the flowers. She planned my whole wedding and even went the extra mile when my caterer had to cancel due to an emergency at the last minute she made the food and set it up and served it, at a buffet style and last minute ALL my guest loved the food, i had ny reception at the Guadalupe theater and she completely transformed that place to look beautiful with all the uplightimg and the centerpeices that she made. I can honestky say she made my wedding beautiful eith the limited budget i was on, i even got mariachis at the reception and a violinist at tge ceremony which i didnt expect I was going to be able to get her price is excellent I looked at the competition and since I was on a budget I had to go for a less espenaive planner and I was suprised at all she did for the price. I definitely will be referring her to any of my friends or family that may get married I'm the future.

We used everlasting Love weddings to perform our wedding, They were so understanding and affordable. For the price that wee paid they wrote a ceremony customized just for us and in the ceremony she told the story of how we met and some of the hurdles we went through to het o where we were being a same sex couple. I was in AIT in Ft Fam at the time and my fiancé flew down from north Carolina, she gave us advice on where we could have the ceremony and we chose the Phil Hardberger Equestrian center. Our guest included some of my battle buddies, when the ceremony was over our guests were choked up; and since we obviously were low on funds to really do anything because I was in training still she brought us cupcakes decorated and some juice to have a little mini reception there at the park. I cant say enough how happy I was and I thank her for making our wedding so special
