Weddings By Riem

d everyone that late guests to the wedding would be turned away… what a NIGHTMARE. My poor sister cried and one of her friends had to take over the day of an coordinate with all the vendors since the planner totally dropped the ball. Stay away. This woman needs to find another kind of job… DO NOT hire her! Sorry honey but people need to know the truth before they pay good money,

n it came to the actual planning of my event she fell short. Not once did she show up with a pad or something electronic to take notes on my preferences. It became clear she did not know the details of our event when she asked me questions at the rehearsal like “how many people in the bridal party?” when I had very clearly said from day 1 that we did not have a bridal party. On the day of the rehearsal she showed up over an hour late which made us late for the rehearsal dinner. I had her communicate solely with the florist and two days before the wedding she said that two floral arrangements had been added that I had very clearly stated in an email weeks before we did not want. It felt very disorganized and made me feel like I needed to double check everything. Not the best feeling the day before one’s wedding. She also cancelled a number of our meetings (both virtual and in person) last minute. At first I was understanding but it got very frustrating after it happened multiple times and I was the one communicating and rescheduling with vendors. My husband walked up to the isle to the completely wrong song and I walked down the isle to the wrong part of my song. I felt like her communication with the DJ should have been better. I hired her to ensure timing and day of details were correct so I did not have to stress about it on the day of. Unfortunately that did not happen. Initially she said she was be assertive and able to direct our families but at the rehearsal and on the day of she did not take initiative to direct people and their placement. My sisters and sister in law had to step in and direct our families on where to be. Then the literal icing on the cake was that the cupcakes I ordered for desert had blue icing which turned out guests’ teeth blue. Although we were all able to laugh about it later, in the moment I just wished that she had the experience and foresight to let me know that it would have been wise NOT to get blue icing at a wedding.

rth it !

ive me a plethora of options to choose from whether it was venues, flower shops, caterers, and photographers. My wedding turned out absolutely phenomenal and beyond anything I could have imagined. Riem made my experience as the bride less stressful and easy.
