Frank, you are AMAZING!!! Not only did he execute our wedding day perfectly, he also did our florals. Everything came out so dreamy. Frank was there for us from the very beginning, helping us and guiding us throughout wedding planning. He is a pleasure to work with, is so kind, professional and knowledgeable. With Frank, you can be confident in knowing that your day will be seamless. He is absolutely wonderful.

Frank did my floral centerpieces for my bridal shower along with a flower bar… he did and AMAZING job! So happy with how everything came out. Thank you Frank💖

So Frank was great when contacting him and meeting to go over what I wanted all that stuff. Everything was clear and when I added a couple more tables it was also clear in which he responded and reiterated what I wanted plus the total. All good all paid for. Day of the wedding my mom asks me for our messages because he didn’t have the decor for one table that I clearly paid for and was clearly outlined in our texts. I screenshotted those messages forwarded them to him told him I trusted him to get the table decorated but not to sacrifice the floral and decor from the aisle. Well my aisle didn’t have anything on it like we agreed. Just slivers of greenery when what we agreed on was thick greenery and candles. The next problem was that the moms and my step mom did not receive their pinned corsages. Again, that we agreed on and I paid for. Finally the flowers were pink and not purple which I didn’t hate but with everything and me making this review I needed to add. When I contacted him about all this he ignored me. And I followed up and he ignored me. I’m not one to leave poor reviews but this is a lot of money for a big day and had he responded to me and even JUST apologized I would have not left such a poor review.

First and foremost my wedding day was anything but traditional. It was more a post elopement party than an actual wedding. I was referred to Frank by a friend. By the time I decided I needed a coordinator I had done most if not all the work. The vendors were booked, the payments were made. I was only missing linen rentals. The other vendors I booked after hiring frank were: 1-transportation (we didn’t book this because originally we planned to Uber or go with family), 2-linens which I rented through Frank without ever communicating with the vendor, 3-entertainment which I hired vendors recommended by my sister in law and did not end up using franks recommendation, 4-I also rented cylinder vases from Frank himself for a candle display. From the time I first hired frank through the day I fired him he continuously disappeared. I don’t have a problem with disappearing as he would eventually answer a few days later and always have a “good” excuse like another bride or a vacation his husband “surprised” him with. Unfortunately, the month prior and the week of the wedding which was when I needed him most, he essentially disappeared. This was the service he was hired for. I continuously sent him lists with questions and follow ups, etc. I could go into incredible detail on how none of the things in my contract got done for me. I did my own timeline after the one that he sent me was not detailed, or complete, or helpful for anyone. I did my vendor follow ups, even though he was supposed to. I know he didn’t communicate with my vendors because the florist, photographer and cigar roller all told me they had not spoken to him. He spoke to the photographer once, Friday morning before my Sunday wedding all to confirm information she confirmed with me a week prior. All in all I paid him his fee, the linens fee, the vases fee and the driver fee a total of approximately $2600 and the only service I actually received was the linens rental. The driver was supposed to be driving a nice Cadillac Escalade, it was a crashed Chevy Tahoe. He didn’t do what he was contracted to do and didn’t even offer a refund for the vases he never brought me, or the work he failed to do. Thankfully he didn’t ruin the day, or the moment because I last minute found and hired someone that actually did the day of coordination for me but the very small mistakes vendors made I truthfully attribute to his lack of follow up and oversight of the vendors. Had I kept him I would have lost my mind my wedding day. If you want someone who’s on their game, this ain’t it. Beware. Don’t waste your money.
