I am not someone who usually write reviews online, in fact this is my very first review. I decided to do a review on Love Clark Events because I do not want another bride or groom to repeat my husband and my mistake of hiring Love to be our day... of coordinator for our wedding. I looked at her reviews before hiring her and they are all good and after working with her I am convinced these reviews came from friends, family, or bots! During the planning process I lost my father and I noticed signs during the planning stages but I was grieving so I brushed it off. From our first in person meeting at the walk through at venue for our wedding she was standoffish, and did not even tell me nor my husband goodbye when she left. In fact, we didn’t even know she left. She took a call she let us know she would be taking and told us she would be back, and never came back. That was my first sign of her lack of communication.
My wedding venue, Morais Vineyard, required us to hire a day of coordinator. I hired her because she was the most affordable one on their list. And from this experience I was reminded that you pay for what you get! Every call I had with Love, I felt like I had to be the lead. I was looking for guidance because I never been married before or even really seen the process in action, Ive been to two weddings in my life. If I didn’t lead the call or ask questions there was always long awkward pauses. Any changes I added on her aisle planner website to let her know updates or even vendors we had she never knew about the changes when asked. A few of my vendors never spoke to her, one spoke to her for the first time the day before the wedding. The day of my wedding, the most important day. I was absolutely LIVID!!! My husband had to tell me to calm down and address my issues after our wedding. I agreed so I could enjoy my day.
Love did the absolute bare minimum when I needed her she was nowhere to be found or I had to call to have someone to go get her. She told me my husband didn’t write me a love note or get me a gift like I did him. Naturally, I was upset by this news because he and I discussed it and I thought he forgot.... Come to find out later he did and it was given to me later by my photographer! I also had to pay my makeup artist and hair stylist on my day and she is the one who is supposed to handle all final payments. Another upsetting moment was when she couldn’t produce my bouquet for my bouquet toss, I ended up having to take one of my bridesmaid bouquets to throw and all of us brides know bouquets are expensive! I had an inexpensive bouquet for the purpose of tossing. I worked hard on my wedding day! I literally feel like I was robbed in front of my face! My makeup artist’s assistant ended up being more of a day of coordinator to me than Love was. My bridesmaids and groomsmen who encountered her all said how she didn’t communicate with them well and that she was standoffish. The list goes on and on with the mishaps on my wedding day, these are just a few and I have not exaggerated anything! Luckily, my guests couldn’t see the behind the scenes drama smh.
Love does not have the qualities of someone who is supposed to lead your day should have! If you are booked at Morais Vineyard and are working off their list, please do yourself a favor and do not hire her. She does not have the bride or grooms best interest at heart at all, her best interest was for the venue because they bring her business.
