Sample Wedding Planners Reviews

"Excellent communication, response time, and willingness to work with us on short notice. Experienced some technical glitches that were mostly the venue's fault, but they did their best to make the event go wonderfully (basically, they had to rely on some backup music for awhile that wasn't as good as their regular stuff . . . but considering the trouble they ran into, they did an awesome job of trouble-shooting).

"It went GREAT! From the moment we met

and

, we felt very comfortable with them. They are very straight-forward and honest. Their talent is no less than that of the priciest competitors (often chains or conglomerates), but their pricing is far better. It was reassuring to know that the two photographers we met with, whose work we were admiring, would be the two photographers that would be working our wedding. Our wedding was not the largest, about 75 guests, and we didn't have to worry about getting someone's "B-Team" if another larger (higher paying, perhaps) wedding came along. When you hire

The day of the wedding, they were great.

has a great sense of humor and managed to get great smiles and poses from everybody, while

's attention to detail ensured the perfect shots were taken. As a couple, they are fun to be around, an important detail for people with whom we are spending one of the most important days of our lives. During our reception,

and

took us back across the street to the beach (where our ceremony was held) to get a bunch of intimate shots of just my wife and I on the beach as the sun set over the water. The photos were fantastic. They captured great candids throughout the reception (even caught some of the bridal party decorating my truck) and they got pictures of every guest and couple.
The photos we ordered were retouched perfectly and came quickly on high quality paper. The framed and matted pictures were very high quality as well. I love the CD with every picture they took, and it came in a very handsome case. Now for the albums. We LOVE the albums. I loved taking part in making the album exactly how we wanted it, without having to exhaustively execute every detail. The initial proof we received was very close to the final product, but there were a few changes we wanted to make. I was pleased with how easy it was to direct the changes we wanted. The end result was a gorgeous album we will treasure forever. The

albums for our parents were absolutely adorable, and very well received (they were a surprise gift).
I am so pleased with

. From start to finish, they helped make our special day a pleasure, and they crafted the pictures and the album that for decades will preserve the images that may not remain as crystal clear in my head as they are today.

"The title “Wedding Planner” really doesn’t seem to do justice to the job that Atiya and her staff perform. I think Wedding Savior
comes closer. When I walked past the You Are the Star’s booth at the Tacoma Wedding Expo I have to admit I had thought a Wedding Planner was a luxury that only couple’s with huge wedding budgets had use for. However, Atiya has made me a believer! I talked to several other wedding planners at the expo, but it wasn’t until I met Atiya that I started to think there might be something to this whole wedding planner “thing” after all. I made an appointment to meet with her, much to my fiancé’s chagrin, to discuss in detail what services she offered. After going over everything

offers and discussing our wedding with us, she not only had me sold but my fiancé was ready to sign a contract on the spot! During the planning stages Atiya was able to take our theme and ideas and create something truly magical I never would have been able to pull off without her. Not only was our wedding beautiful, but the money Atiya saved us on things like decorations, chair cover rentals, flowers, and table settings added up to over half of what we were paying her! But where Atiya and her staff REALLY shine is on day of services. Not having to worry about ANYTHING on my wedding day allowed my fiancé and me to really enjoy the moment. They did all the hours of setting up, making sure all the vendors were set up properly and on time, dealing with last minute emergencies, keeping things on schedule, and making sure everyone, not just the groom and I, had a wonderful time. And as the night was ending, her staff packed up everything in our cars for us so we were able to enjoy ourselves right up to the end of the evening. It went so well my guests were commenting on how wonderful Atiya and her staff were! It truly was a magical evening thanks to my wedding saviors from

"Mr.

arrived 2 hours ahead of schedule to make sure he was ready in time for the reception. He played the entire list of music titles that my daughter requested plus added more songs that fit in very well with the music she chose. He was very easy to work with and we really enjoyed his jovial demeanor. I would recommend him to anyone and plan to use him for every event we have scheduled in the future. We have also referred him to many of our family and friends.

"Worst ever! Seems like this florist takes advantage of out-of-towners (based on some of the other reviews I read). The basket my dad sent was amateurish at BEST!!!!!! It was supposed to be a "gourmet" basket....NOTHING in the basket was gourmet. It looked like it was thrown together in someone's garage. There was cheese in the basket that was bought from the grocery store (

) and was warm AND expired!!!!! Everything in the basket looked like it was bought at one of those discount supermarkets, and there was nothing high-end or gourmet about it. And thrown around at the bottom of the basket were some snack size three musketeers and the like. I could have bought this stuff at the super-

for about $15 and I feel my out-of-town father was completely ripped off. I live here in Hendersonville and will NEVER buy from this shop and will tell everyone in town what a horrible experience I had. AND the delivery driver was rude and grumpy even though I tipped him and thanked him! AND THEY CHARGE FOR DELIVERY!!!!! Looks like I'm not the first person they've done this too. My dad would be embarrassed and outraged at the basket they sent.....especially for the money he paid. UNPROFESSIONAL and a BAD VALUE! Can't say enough bad things about this experience.

"My family and I were told everything would be delivered and set up before Friday, September 6, 2013. I was expecting everything to be delivered nolater than Thursday, September 5, 2013 so we could get everything set up in plenty of time. I called on Fridaymorning to see when they would be delivered since they didn’t come on Thursday and I was told the office was short a truck but they would get us the equipment by noon, Friday. My mother called again later Friday after noon and she was told they were loading the truck and heading to Crystal Springs. We did not receive our rentals until almost 4:00 pm on Friday, September 6, 2013. Our rehearsal started at 6:00 pm. We were unable to finish setting up all of the tables on Friday because we had to set up chairs for the ceremony to be able to rehearse. The chairs came dirty, one had blood on it, several had dried sticky coke on them, one’s cushion was burned and torn, and the rest had dirt on them. We had to wipe every chair down on Saturday morning and set up all the table and linens, the day of the wedding. My mother was also told when she ordered the dance floor and stage that the dance floor would be skirted to hide the raw wood underneath. The dance floor was not skirted. There were also damages to the property caused by the van and trailer. Plants were run over and the brick retaining wall on the side of the driveway was hit and broken.
Of course the driver denied hitting the brick wall, even though the owner witnessed it.

"

was great ... particularly the hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour. The guacamole was prepared on the spot and the guests all went crazy for everything. The food for the reception had gotten a little cold, but this was our fault because we couldn't herd all the guests into the reception hall quickly enough. The servers and the

were all extremely accomodating and professional.

"My husband & I had a beach wedding on Wrightsville. We rented a beach house which had a large backyard where the reception was held, and the actual ceremony took place on the beach. The day was perfect! With the help of

, we had the wedding of our dreams - a very laid back, beautiful, relaxing ceremony. If we had it to do over, we wouldn't change a thing.

is very detail oriented and professional. She helped us with every aspect involved in the planning. She offered excellent suggestions, always listened to our input, and kept us under budget. My husband and I choose the vendors we wanted, and

took care of the rest. The day of the wedding was completely stress free.

and her team coordinated with all of the vendors, took care of the set up and take down, and managed the flow of the ceremony and reception. I honestly had nothing to do but relax and enjoy the day with my bridesmaids, husband, friends, and family. It was perfect!!!

also provided our floral arrangements (you can use any florist you want but I would strongly recommend going with

). I had nothing particular in mind when it came to flowers - I gave her free reign on this one and told her to make it look pretty.

put together arrangements that fit in perfectly with our outdoor beach theme. She was also very good about choosing flowers that were in season so that they didn't cost us an arm and a leg. The following day, the people at the beach houses beside ours said that it was the most beautiful wedding they had witnessed there all year (and they see lots of weddings). I honestly can't say enough about

and her crew. I would recommend them to anyone.

"The service and delivery girl called me 5 minutes before she was to have all set up to serve to tell me she was going to be late. She arrived in the driveway .5 hour before the ceremony and the food was not even set out yet. I paced for that whole hour that they were late and it ruined my time with daughter and family before her nuptials. They didn't even tell me an ETA, just on the way. It took me three days to calm down and call the owner. They said a refund check to be mailed for their poor service. Sunday they mailed a check for an undisclosed amount and I have nothing one week later. They are wedding ruiners, not planners. When the girl called, she was still in Norwalk. I took her the whole 50 minutes to get to

. I had called to confirm everything was on time and a go with no problems the night before and they said I worry too much. Justified! I have 50 witnesses to back this statement up, just in case needed. I know those persons will not depend on these caterers for an event, as not I ever again. Too bad, the food was decent. Additionally, I was charged $50 (late) delivery fee, a servers fee of $30 for 4 hours= $120 ( she was only there 3), and called me to the door as she left, so i presumed that she wanted her $50 tip. Later I found out that my friends and family members set up the food as she brought it Into the kitchen 1.25 hours late. I wanted the food set up and ready by 11 Am. Set up was not until 12:10. 50-60 people had 20 minutes to eat before going outside for the wedding ceremony. The earring in her nose got her no respect either. The owners said that they were waiting to hear from me and were sorry, but they have not refunded my service fees yet, stating check is in the mail. "

Flowers so close to wedding when mistakes were found she had left and we had no way to contact her
She stated she came in just for us but she was working on another wedding correcting those problems so we got our flowers very close to wedding.

After many calls I Stopped by personally to talk and gave her a sheet of what was not right and to settle bill She would get back to me, it was not done spoke with her today and she was not nice and argumenitive and had the story all wrong and it was our fault and she said she knew the bride had no money BUT I personally said I would cover any extra expense that came up. I told that to

to personally..

I belive she owes the bride some money back, or at least an apollogy.

I will add that she complained about the bride ordered before us that kept changing her mind the day of the wedding..MAYBE it wasn't that bride but again her not getting right.
