Femme Confidante

The best bachelorette I ever attended! Granted, I was the bride, destination set in San Lucas Cabo and all of my closest girls attended.
Femme Confidente booked 2 awesome 2-​bedroom suites next door to each other with an ocean view. It was amazing how they well know the area.
I had no worries during my 3 nights, 4 days stay. I had no money or ID on me. Everything was planned to the nines. We didnt fuss over the bills, where to go or what to do.

embarrassed to say but… I hired someone to plan my good friend’s bachelor party. it’s not cause i didn’t care. it’s just that I knew if I planned it, it would have been a total disaster. luckily, femme confidante held my hand every step of the way.
in the spirit of full-​disclosure, i’ve known jessica (one of the organizers) for quite sometime. and because i’ve known her for so long, I had absolutely no qualms with letting her figure everything out for me. to be honest, i’m somewhat of a control freak. ;-(
the bachelor party turned out great — and in the end, all the recommendations and insights she provided during the planning stages turned out to be spot-​on. if you are a veteran at party planning with the time to plan things out, coordinate reservations and payments, and manage everyone, this might not be the service for you. however, if it’s your first time or being best-​man or maid-​of-​honor was forced upon you, you might want to take a look.
also, a side benefit… when planning things for a large group of people, there’s bound to be people who don’t want to do an activity or eat at a certain place… it can be difficult. in my case, when they complained, i was able to just shrug my shoulders and say «this is the place femme confidante chose… sorry man… i didn’t know you don’t drink»

I’ve worked with Jessica from Femme Confidante twice now. Both times it was extremely easy and she was always professional. Every time there was a change or I needed to tweak something in the plans there were no problems and we didn’t incur any additional charges since we were always able to communicate quickly and efficiently.
She was always very willing to help me figure out what types of events we could do and customize it to the girls who were attending. In addition, she made it very easy to work on a tight budget by giving me so many different options to work with.
Everyone who has attended one of her parties has always told me that they had an excellent time and thought everything went very smoothly. We never had to wait in lines, her contacts always knew we were coming and were prepared for us. All the attendees loved all the little surprises, games, favors, and other cute details — especially the bride to be! Both of the brides felt so special during all the events.
Even when one of our girls wasn’t able to make it due to a last minute emergency, Jessica was able to make adjustments to our reservations so everything worked out well.
I would definitely suggest hiring Femme Confidante! I was able to plan two different bachelorette parties smoothly and without difficulties during the two busiest times of the year at work. I know I’m perfectly capable of planning a party, and have done so many times before. But being able bypass all the stress of dealing with many friends from different groups, money, and coordinating multiple activities was life saving since there are so many other things that a Maid of Honor has to deal with while helping her friend get ready for her big day.

Down to the wire, ten girls ready to party but nowhere to go! Femme Confidante to the Rescue! Let just say we all felt «completely satisfied!» Not only was the service provided by Jessica, and Theresa extremely professional but the little details such as the flowers in the penthouse suit, copious mix drinks and play– boys were just perfect.
There was a small service fee of $ 50 dollars but we would gladly pay much more for the unforgettable time we had. I highly recommended their service. Just remember to ask for «Big Daddy!»

I’ve been to a few too many bachelorette parties at this point and they are all becoming a big blur to me. I’ve even managed to help plan 2 of them, and if you know girls, which I know you all do, we can be a pain in the you know what to organize for.
I used to doubt what the purpose of for hiring any helper to organize what we could already do on our own. I mean there has to be some capable person in the planning party who can make a few calls and send out a few e-​mails right? Well it turns out planning a good party can amongst working girls who have a zillion opinions of their own to what should be done can be the most difficult thing.
Well here’s where I found Femme Confidante to be incredibly helpful. For my friend Michelle’s bachelorette in Vegas, the grief of getting everyone together, finding out how much each person owed, and making all the reservations of places we knew very little about was all gone. Not only did we avoid long lines to clubs and restaurants, but it made every activity much easier attend. The itinerary was given to us ahead of time and we already prepaid, so there’s no awkwardness when the bill came to who owes what, because it was all paid for before hand. Basically the party itself could stay neutral of the logistics, making it a friendly and easy going atmosphere for all of us.
The best part was, they were great at taking care of any changes we did need to make last minute. A girl’s flight was delayed so she could not go to the spa in time. Cancellation was made and she was able to get refunded for that particular situation. Overall, we found that the amount of money spent was at most what we would have spent anyways if were on our own, except we didn’t have to think as much, work as hard, or run into any conflicts who the actual party. The planning is done for you. What more can you ask for?

Instead of planning the bachelorette party on her own, my friend’s sister, aka maid of honor, decided to hire Femme Confidante to do the planning. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but when it came down to it, we basically ended up paying a $ 50 service fee per person (12 people) to have someone make a few phone calls on our behalf. We prepaid for a package that included hotel stay, a pole dancing class, dinner, a Chippendale’s show, and club entrance. Also, since everything is prepaid and prearranged, there were no refunds. This was pretty disappointing because if you didn’t pay, the maid of honor would be charged your share. No one wants to be the a-​hole and let that happen, but if some emergency came up and someone had to back out, they were out $ 300+. As it turned out, 2 of our girls had to back out. Fortunately we found replacements for them, otherwise, their share would have gone to waste. Also, if you pay late, there’s a $ 50 late fee. Normally, I agree that a late fee should be enforced, but our last day to pay was 3 weeks before the event. Not only that, we were only given 2 weeks notice. It was a little unnerving to be asked to hurry up and pay or suffer penalties. I also happened to find an error in the invoice (it looked like we were being overcharged), and my friend asked Jessica from Femme Confidante if she’d be refunding us the difference. Jessica said that it was just a mathematical error on the invoice and we won’t be getting a refund because we agreed to pay the full amount. I guess it made sense… but it still didn’t sit well with me.
The pole class was fun, dinner was okay, and Chippendale’s was entertaining. As for the club part, it was nice to not have to wait in line and pay the cover, but since you pay Femme Confidante a service fee anyway, it’s sort of like you diverted the cost to someone else; plus you’re limited to which clubs you can go to. We didn’t get in right away the first night and had to wait a little. Our Tao contact (provided by Femme Confidante) was pretty unorganized and almost separated our party. The second night was much better, our contact at the Palms (also provided by Femme Confidante) did his job and put us on every club list and we were able to get in right away.
I wasn’t impressed by the service we received from Femme Confidante, there was nothing really special about it. There were no group or special discounts and everything was at face value, so if you have the time and don’t mind making a few calls on your own, I recommend doing that instead. Aside from getting us on a few guest lists, it felt like all they did was take the maid of honor’s credit card, charge everything for her, and set up a plan that assured we paid her back. Maid of honor still ended up doing A LOT of footwork on her own, and I credit her and the fabulous girls for the good times, and very little to the hired planners. Oh, but we did get a plastic shot glass and panty as souvenirs, so if that’s enough to redeem them, by all means use them to plan your next party.
