be writing a review about a negative experience but I would hate it more for someone else to have a negative experience on their special day and I hope something can be learned from sharing this. The first thing Marian said to me when she showed up on the day of my wedding was that she could not focus because there was word that her boyfriend may be proposing to her soon. This was brought up the only other time I saw her before the start of the ceremony and again during her check in with me at dinner. It was very uncomfortable to hear that it was causing her to feel like she couldn’t focus on anything but it felt apparent by the end of the night. We paid for two additional assistants, despite having a lower than expected guest count, and even with two paid assistants, there was very little check in with myself or groom on day of and seemed to be little direction for guests, many of whom ended up walking into the building I was hiding out in before ceremony so lots of folks got to see me pre-ceremony (which didn’t bother me but I know it would bother some brides). Marian also put her own assistant’s bag into the car taking me and groom to hotel after reception (neither mine nor my husband’s bag made it into the trunk of the car). When we got to the hotel, we had no IDs, no change of clothes, nothing - just bags that didn’t belong to us that we now had to keep up with. Without IDs, we couldn’t even check into our hotel room. I called a family member to rush my bag over to me. Marian delivered my husband’s bag a bit later with a note stating that she felt bad and paid for part of our room stay for the evening (our stay was already being taken care of by a family member staying in the same hotel, so we wouldn’t have noticed and I wish she had checked with me or the hotel staff about that). Prior to ceremony, I left my car keys on a table in front of her saying that she could have people load up my car with anything that wouldn’t fit in my brothers car. She forgot and ended up asking one of my wedding guests to load stuff in her car. And also ended up leaving my keys out on the table. I was contacted by the venue owners not long after we got into our hotel room to let me know that all of our gifts had been left at the venue. She had placed them in a closet and forgotten to tell anyone they were there. I ended up having to wake up early the next day to go load gifts into my car before the next wedding party arrived for an event at the venue. When I checked in with my DJ (also a personal friend and AMAZING support leading up to, during, and after the wedding!) the next day to thank him, I asked if he got the thank you note and tip money that Marian was supposed to give him - he had not (and had spent over an hour triple checking every single possible spot it could be with the help of his wife after I mentioned it). With all of the other things that went wrong, I decided to call the hotel receptionist and ask for details about how our room was paid for that night, they confirmed that Marian had paid for part of the room with cash in the exact amount I had put in the envelope for the DJ and the rest covered by the family member who intended to pay it all. Marian had apparently told one of my friend’s/wedding guests that she only keeps cash on her instead of cards during events so her cards don’t get stolen and that’s why she apparently had that amount of cash on her ($150). So, my lesson learned and shared for other brides - if you’re gonna tip vendors, don’t use cash or hand it to your vendors yourself!
