Confetti and Glitter Events

I am not a creative or crafty person, so when I became engaged, I was excited to be able to have a wedding, but I wasn’t excited about planning it or making decisions regarding it. I have zero interest in center pieces, decorations, timelines, flowers. I just wanted it to «look pretty» and for people to have a nice time. Thank goodness for Monica, the owner of Confetti and Glitter Events!
I originally found Monica on Thumbtack, and liked how prompt she was in responding to my inquiry. She is also very affordable and reasonable in the pricing of her services. I initially hired her as my venue decorator, but then asked her to also be my Day of Coordinator. (these are 2 different things, so don’t hire someone asking them to decorate, but then expecting them to handle your entire day and your entire ceremony and reception). She was flexible with her schedule when it came to meeting, and was prompt in her replies to emails and texts. Monica was very good about writing down the things I liked and didn’t like, and was great about expanding on those things to find something that worked for me.
She made all of my venue signs, set up and decorated the dessert table and guest table, all centerpieces and my sweetheart table. I didn’t have to worry about a thing the entire day and night of my wedding, because I new Monica had everything covered. I was able to have a great time and focus on my guests, and she would guide me along if I needed to do something.
I would recommend Monica for any party or event that you need planned. My husband and I were both very happy with her services, and will hire her again if we have anything that needs planning. She is very easy to talk to, and a sweet and professional woman.
My photographer hasn’t sent me my wedding photos yet, but when he does, I will post the work that she did :)

Monica is a very nice lady, and is newly– upcoming in the event planning business. I hired her for my wedding because it was very small, and I needed some extra help. The issues I had her with her is she has trouble organizing and finding the appropriate time to make sure all of her bases are covered. I would have to touch base with her every couple of weeks or so to make sure that everything was on track for the day of my wedding. Instead of her reaching out to me, I was the one to always e-​mail her. Wouldn’t she want to know if anything new had came up, in case she needed more preparation or help me solve any issues? There were times when I would give her phone calls and she would message me back. Completely unprofessional. Plus, when I would get her on the phone, she would sound irritated. To me, it would seem like her life was too busy to be running an event planning business. When you become your own boss, it takes time and your undivided attention to tasks and your clients. Especially when your dealing with a bride. I felt like she didn’t possess those qualities needed for such a demanding field. In the last few weeks before my wedding, I tried to give my final payment to her on multiple occasions, and she told me she could not meet up any of the times I suggested. I suggested that I can meet her on Saturday in the afternoon, on a Friday night. She said she could not make it. But, I get an email early Saturday morning saying she could suddenly meet up. I kept that time earlier to meet up with her and open, but when she told me she couldn’t make it, I made appointment to color my hair. I had tried multiple times to get a hold of her and arrange meetings without responses many times. She somehow found the time to arrange a meeting late in the evening, but never followed up. She made things more of a headache than less stressful the week before my wedding. She was not good at keeping in touch and would have strange behavior. Like I said, Monica is a very sweet lady. I just believe she is not ready to take on such a personal business yet. As it takes time and dedication to keep customers happy.
