Fancy Events

I would not recommend this vendor. However, let me start out with the one positive piece of feedback:
Positive:
— Vendor made my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquet & groomsmen’s boutonnieres, and they looked great. (However, also have negative feedback on the flowers below)
Negatives:
— Vendor had ‘assistants’ to help out throughout ‘planning’ and day of setup. Assistants were really her teenage daughters.
— Received countless complaints from family members, guests & other vendors about how rude the vendor & ‘assistants’ were. It was horribly embarrassing. I have many stories myself from the first hand experience with these people.
— Vendor & family actually ‘hung out’ at my reception, lingered on the dance floor and even drank from our open bar.
— Complete lack of professionalism; Vendor always looked sloppy, and NEVER took notes (Red flag #1); Also argued openly with her daughters frequently
— Extremely slow response times, no sense of urgency
— Missed & tried to cancel appointments on multiple occasions, leaving us frantic & more stressed out
— Vendor generally increased stress levels of myself and family throughout the entire process
— Flowers made by vendor were completely the wrong color & material; Looked nothing like the sample we agreed upon and did not explain that color & material had changed until it was too late
— Used paper flower balls hanging from ceiling as part of décor; These were hung up smashed (were supposed to be smoothed out/​fluffed up) and were not at all hung in places or how we discussed
— Failed to bring storage to the venue for my wedding cards. Vendor knew before ceremony started that they forgot the box & never went back & got it. Guests were confused & afraid to leave their cards loose on the table
— Lost pens I provided for guestbook photo (they were at the venue the entire time), scrambled to find thick black sharpies for guests to use, which completely ruined the look & feel of the photo
— Decorations were still being put up as my guests were arriving for the ceremony; Vendor knew months in advance how much time they would have to prepare the venue prior to the ceremony starting
I am a VERY laid back, positive, easy going person; probably one of the easiest brides to work with, and I can say with 100% confidence that I wish I had done the planning myself and never gotten this vendor involved… except maybe to make my bouquets :)
