Front Paige Events

Type A bride who planned everything to a T to make it easier on the coordinator. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t share my disappointment with the actual day of coordination. We had a plan for Paige to pick up supplies from the bridal suite for the ceremony and she never showed up without any communication. This put an immense amount of stress of my bridesmaids to quickly allocate the missed tasks amidst the other busy schedule items. As far as details of the setup at the reception, which I explicitly went over multiple times in person and printed extensive layouts with pictures - my decor and setup of the reception did not get setup to our arrangement. For example, the incorrect signs were put out or my expensive custom made signs were not put out at all, consequently causing confusion for the guests on the instructions for the photo guest book. Another example, the guests were asked to take their seats per the request of the coordinator to the DJ, 30 minutes prior to time stated on the timeline, which was another hiccup for the guest experience. The desserts were also put out by the coordinator a couple of hours too early per the agreed upon timeline, resulting in all of the desserts being eaten prior to/slightly after dinner was served, which made it so not everyone was able to get dessert. This was a huge disappointment. I also had asked Paige to take pictures of all of the details of the decor prior to guests arriving and altering the decor, so I could remember all of the small details to see the result of all of the countless hours of work that I put into planning and organizing the small details. Paige agreed specifically to this but did not end up following through, so my bridesmaid had to do it halfway through cocktail hour when guests had already altered the decor. This was a huge let down for me as I worked so hard on the small details that were not followed through even though there were clear expectations and commitments. I do wish too that she oversaw the vendors more closely and followed up with the small details - for example, we spent a lot of money on clear goblets for water for every person to have filled before dinner (outlined as the caterers responsibility), however I would have loved if Paige would have caught that detail and ensured correction and follow through instead of all that money wasted on non-used glassware. Overall, Paige is such a kind person who truly loves what she does and our wedding day was so special. However I did feel let down with multiple things that we clearly agreed upon and talked about extensively prior to our wedding day.

to ensure everything went smoothly. She was very communicative in the months leading up to the weeding to ensure all the details were in place for a perfect wedding day. We look forward to working with Paige again at Grayhawk!
