In the Event

Do not recommend.

It is difficult to know where to begin. We feel we have been completely ripped off & bamboozled. One-star rating is already too high. The “Theresa” in the positive reviews is not the one we received, which begs us to question the validity of those reviews. Very similar to Jake G.’s review on 6/10/2022, disappointed does not even come close to the reality of our experience. The ineptitude & level of incompetence was astonishing. She was hired for the day of the wedding. Two family members & I came to help her set up that morning. At the beginning we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt; however, that became increasingly difficult as the day went on. In the first 4 hours she was there, she ironed a handful of round tablecloths & set up a few glasses. Table set up & placement, decorations, extensive lighting set up, decor of cake & bridal party tables, and the details she was hired to take care of were NONEXISTENT. The additional bride & groom’s family members & friends who arrived ended up doing her job up until an hour from the start of the ceremony. She had zero knowledge of the itinerary & order of events for the day, which were provided to her well in advance. She was instructed to minimally decorate the church which was only 1 mile from the reception hall with a few flower placements that were already provided and did not fulfill these duties either. We were absolutely HORRIFIED!!! She did not assist in seating guests, nor did she perform ANY of the duties required during the reception. At one point the bride gave her specific instructions to place some finger foods out for the guests, and this did not happen, as we later found the food in the refrigerator. Her appearance was disheveled: hair uncombed, attire unprofessional for a wedding, mannerisms questionable. She did not have an approachable demeanor, she lacked leadership and did not direct any events during the wedding or reception. It felt like she didn’t even care. The hired food servers were unaware that a wedding coordinator had even been hired for the day. Several of our guests pulled us aside during the reception due to her strange behavior: A guest noticed she had gone to the bathroom & stayed absent for an extended period of time during the reception. Another guest found her sitting in her car on her phone in the parking lot for a long time and had to tell her to go back to her “job.” Needless to say, it felt like a complete waste of money!! She definitely added to our stress & did not fulfill all of her contractual obligations. Brides BEWARE!!! I would HATE for this to happen to another bride on her special day. AVOID AVOID AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Theresa is a wonderful wedding planner. She helped us from start to finish. We had a 'blank slate' venue and needed to bring in pretty much everything, and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She recommended a team of vendors that were really great and brought a fun energy to our wedding. It was like having another group of friends with a good vibe that just happened to be working the event. She is great at helping you stay on budget, and I think her fee more than paid for itself. Theresa also decorated the space, which turned out festive and lovely. She made a beautiful balloon arch that looked amazing in all the photos!

Theresa was perfect to work with. Her attention to detail and ability to quickly resolve any issues during pre- wedding and all events was so helpful. She was very organized and professional and saved the day with getting undelivered rental items out to our hotel in an emergency. Excellent event and amazing support!
