The biggest mistake I made was hiring Kristi Mayran as my wedding coordinator. She was lazy, unprofessional, dishonest and bragged about taking advantage of the owner of our venue. She also broke into the wedding venue that we booked for the ho...neymoon after we reminded her to not come into the house; per Airbnb/VRBO's policy and common sense.
She used the key that had been entrusted to her to come in ON OUR HONEYMOON after she did such a pitiful, lazy, unprofessional job. She has not responded to me email or my mother's email about how mortified we were.
Her assistant Mel was apparently the one I had been communicating with the whole time and Kristi acted as if she had never heard any of the details emailed to her, communicated on the phone and in person (that she wrote down).
She kept asking where my Father is Law was, who is recently deceased, after we told her repeatedly he had passed. I have never been so disappointed or frustrated with anyone in my life. She did not direct us, she was hard to find and she neglected the most important tasks entrusted to her.
She has not taken ownership of cheating me out of $1,500 for services that she did not perform. She bothered me, the bride, all day with questions and concerns. She interrupted our Bride/Groom photo session to tell me we ran out of beer (which was not true). She also neglected to tell me to purchase the things that I needed for the wedding which was her job. On top of that, she mislead the catering staff and got complaints about how disorganized she was. She told my Mom to cut bigger slices of cake herself and was rude to guests.
For the sake of your wedding, do not hire her. Her flowers were pretty but I can never get that day (or apparently my hard-earned money) back. I'm a teacher who paid out of my own pocket for services that I did not receive.
