Love Clark Events

I cannot recommend Love Clark Events highly enough! From our initial consultation to the final moments of our wedding day, Love's dedication, professionalism, and genuine passion for her work were evident. Planning Process: Throughout the planning stages, Love was attentive, organized, and always available to address our questions and concerns. Her extensive experience and creative vision helped us craft a wedding that truly reflected our personalities and love story. She provided invaluable guidance on vendor selection, décor, and timeline management, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned. On the day of our wedding, Love and her team executed everything flawlessly. The ceremony and reception venues were set up beautifully, exceeding our expectations. Love's calm demeanor and proactive approach allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing that all logistics were being handled seamlessly. Love's attention to detail is unparalleled. She thought of everything, from coordinating with vendors to ensuring our wedding party was well-prepared and comfortable. Her thoughtful touches, like providing a personalized emergency kit and coordinating surprise elements we hadn't even considered, made the day even more special. Our guests were full of praise for how smoothly the day unfolded. Many commented on the seamless transitions between events and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that Love helped create. Her ability to anticipate needs and manage the flow of the day ensured that everyone had a memorable experience. Even after the wedding, Love continued to assist us, ensuring all post-event details were managed efficiently. Her commitment to her clients extends beyond the wedding day, demonstrating her genuine care and dedication to her craft. Love Clark Events made our wedding day a dream come true. Her professionalism, creativity, and heartfelt approach set her apart as a top-tier wedding planner. We are forever grateful for her role in making our special day truly unforgettable.

While the 18 months leading up to the wedding were marked by smooth communication and helpful guidance, the wedding day itself was marred by disorganization and a complete lack of coordination. The Breakdown: * Pre-Wedding: Love was attentive and helpful during the planning process, offering valuable insights and support. We met monthly in the beginning and twice a month as the wedding date got closer. Unfortunately, this positive experience did not translate to the actual wedding day. * Ceremony Disaster: Our ceremony started an hour late due to the late arrival of chairs. The vendor had their own internal issues but this was a direct result of Love failing to include setup in the contract, leaving the vendor understaffed. To make matters worse, guests received no guidance once doors were open, leading to confusion and a rushed entrance. The wedding party was also unable to sit. I instructed Love to reserve the first two rows for the wedding party so that they were seated during the ceremony rather than standing with the bride/groom. However that did not happen, which we had clearly communicated and rehearsed. Total confusion as they could not sit as rehearsed.  * Missing Items and Oversights: Throughout the day, we encountered a series of missing items and oversights: no lighter for the unity candle (had to ask someone from the audience for a lighter -- very embarrassing), no microphones for the ceremony (majority of the guests could not hear us), 15 missing uplights at the reception, chairs/place settings were missing from tables and guest were unable to sit, and even our bouquets were not readily available for photos. * Lack of Communication and Awareness: Love did not communicate with us that the chairs were late and ceremony time had shifted. I had to ask what was going on and why we had not begun, at this point we were 20 minutes past start time. Love demonstrated a concerning lack of awareness regarding the wedding day timeline. She started speeches during dinner service, creating a chaotic atmosphere with speeches competing with the clatter of dishes. * Poor Coordination and Execution: The reception "room flip" was handled poorly, with guests witnessing the transition instead of enjoying cocktail hour. Furthermore, meal cards were not placed at the bridal party table, causing confusion for the catering staff. The day was so chaotic that we forgot to do our welcome/thank you speech and Love did not even remind us.  * Unresponsive and Slow: Love was consistently difficult to locate the entire day and seemed to move at a slow pace, despite the numerous issues unfolding. She was missing the majority of the wedding but she did manage to get instagram content. A few of my guests were asking who/where is the planner. She was missing in action and when I initially voiced my concerns she was not apologetic at all.  * Lack of Leadership: Love was largely absent and unresponsive, and her team seemed completely unaware of the plans and timeline, despite prior discussions and rehearsals. In a post-wedding meeting, I expressed my dissatisfaction. To add insult to injury, Love offered a paltry $800 (only 10% of her total cost) refund in exchange for signing an NDA, preventing me from writing a review, which was a huge slap in the face. I politely declined as this is unacceptable considering the thousands of dollars spent on her services and the significant distress caused on what should have been a joyous occasion. Book at your own risk…

Love Clark Events went above and beyond in planning our wedding over the past 12 months. From the very beginning, Love Clark and her team demonstrated unparalleled dedication, patience, and expertise. They meticulously guided us through every step, offering invaluable advice and connecting us with the best vendors in the industry. Their attention to detail and commitment to our vision made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Love Clark's ability to listen and understand our needs ensured that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. The seamless coordination and execution on the day itself left us and our guests in awe. We are immensely grateful for the incredible work Love Clark Events did to make our special day truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a wedding planner who is professional, passionate, and genuinely invested in making your dream wedding a reality.

My wedding was on April 13, 2024. I hired Love Clark Events in May 2023. On March 27th 2024, Love stated in an email that her and team would pass wedding programs to guests. On the day of the wedding, I saw the wedding programs sloppily placed at the entrance to the church, not handed to guests. On April 12th 2024, the day before my wedding, the hairdresser for my wedding reached out to me stating she would be arriving at 8am. The schedule created by Love Clark Events indicated that she would be arriving at 9:15. I then asked the hairdresser if she was aware of the timeline or if she had been contacted by Love. She told me she had not and that she could not come at 9:15am as indicated on the timeline Love created. I then had to scramble to rearrange my make up appointment during my rehearsal dinner to ensure I had coverage for my hair. I let Love know that evening and did not get acknowledgement of this oversight until my wedding day. During the reception on the day of my wedding, I had asked for a certain heritage component. This was indicated on the timeline and was clear what needed to occur. While eating at the sweetheart table with my now husband, Love came to my ear to confirm this detail. This detail had already been placed on the timeline ahead of the day and should not have required confirmation while I was eating. She then presented the items for my heritage component at my feet instead of on plate and I genuinely felt embarrassed on my wedding day that this was presented to my guests in a sloppy manner. The timeline for my wedding that was distributed to my bridesmaids on or around March 16, 2024. It had typographical errors and did not align from a timing perspective. There were details I had discussed with Love that had not been added and there were timing issues throughout. My name had been spelt incorrectly severally and I had to email Love to correct this. Even after finalizing the timeline with Love, she did not distribute an updated copy to my bridesmaids and this is something I had to do. I sent Love an updated chart detailing my personal effects for the church and the setup required on the wedding date, 4/13/24. The most current chart was sent to Love on 4/8/24. This chart had a specific outline of where my items needed to be placed. This was not followed when I arrived to the church. My pew ends were not distributed in the church in the manner described to Love. The bubbles I had asked to be handed to guests were not distributed. Love did stay for the entire event, and my wedding finished at 10:30pm. She arrived to my Airbnb at 10am. On March 19, 2024, my baker closed her business. I had to inform Love of this. The package I purchased from Love listed a service “Point of contact for all vendors for one months before the wedding”. One of the services provided by my package stated “Creation of wedding day set-up and breakdown lists along with wedding shot list” - I created my own shot list and sent this to Love in February 2024. Between 5/16/23 and 8/11/23, and 9/20/23 and 1/9/24 I never heard from Love Clark events inspite of the services I Purchased listing “Monthly Check-in to keep you track” as a service provided by Love. I have provided facts so as to provide insight for other brides when deciding on a wedding planner.
