As if being a bride in the middle of a global pandemic isn’t enough, Taleah took it upon herself to take complete advantage of me and milk me for every penny she could. After very sadly having to move my wedding from my dream venue in San Diego... to a different one in Camarillo, Taleah let me know that in order for her to continue as my wedding planner I would have to pay more than DOUBLE her fee just for travel and accommodations. I’m sorry but it does not cost 3,800 to drive 3 hours and stay in a hotel in the San Fernando valley. Was I sponsoring a luxury vacation for one? Apparently Taleah thought I was. When I kindly told her that $3,800 in addition to the $3333 I had already paid her was very much out of my budget, she let me know that I would still have to pay for the work she has done but then she would send back the rest. Totally understandable right? Well certainly not when she says she has done 2,900 worth of work. I’m sorry what? She didn’t attend one in person meeting with me, she didn’t book, plan or organize a single thing. I did EVERYTHING on my own. I found my own venue, florist, photographer, everything. The most she did was have two or three phone conversations with me to tell me what the start time of my ceremony should be. Extremely confused, I asked her to please send me a list of the work she has done and the cost per item. She then tries to say that it took her an EIGHT HOUR DAY to calculate travel and accommodations from San Diego to California and charged me $750. What professional wedding planner takes an 8 hour day to calculate travel? On top of that she charged me $450 to “change the address on my file after the venue change” and she claimed we had 6 hours worth on conversation on the phone when we had no where close. I have never been taken advantage of like this in my life. I asked Taleah to work with me because now I am forced to find another wedding planner closer to my venue but I have already paid Taleah to basically do nothing. I have almost no money left in my budget for another wedding planner. I am so disappointed in Taleah. She acted like she was such a good person in the beginning and my “best friend”. Do not hire this wedding planner, she is completely untrustworthy, deceitful and will take complete advantage of you.
