JBD was hired to coordinate everything for the day of the event. I had developed my theme and…read morecommunicated my vision and wishes to Ms. Lopez very clearly. I designed my own centerpieces, purchased all the materials including decorations needed to bring my vision to fruition. I communicated with Ms. Lopez via emails with explicit details as to what I wanted and exactly how I wanted everything laid out. I even included pictures so that there would be absolutely no confusion as to what I wanted and how I wanted everything set up. I brought Ms. Lopez to the venue to physically do a walk through in order to be crystal clear on what my expectations were. About a month before the ceremony Ms. Lopez expressed that she needed more people in order to accomplish setting up the venue which was to hold approximately 100 people. Throughout the process it became clear to me that through constant redundant questions, that Ms. Lopez was not reading or comprehending the updated emails which described everything I was providing and how it was supposed to be set up. About two weeks out it became clear that she couldn't provide the full service day of the event planning and management that I desired and understood when we first contracted her. Then began the back and forth arguments with me as to what decorations she wanted to use versus what my wishes were and what I had already created. I arranged for additional people to help Ms. Lopez setup. Then it came to light that was would not be providing the "Day of Wedding Coordination" which was originally discussed and contracted, but rather simply setup the hall and then leave and then return to break it all down. Note: we are having two ceremonies and my Event coordinator for the second event is literally handling everything from beginning to end. Ms. Lopez's demeanor throughout this process became increasingly confrontational, judgmental and demeaning and simply rude. On the day of the event we had arranged to have Ms. Lopez, her staff and the additional help that I arranged to meet at the venue at 3 pm to set up. Her staff and my helpers including my adult children were there to set up. Her staff asked my daughters how to set up the centerpieces, the Champagne flutes, napkins, etc... One of her crew called Ms. Lopez and asked where to place the napkins and she told them to use their better judgement... There was no coordination with the other vendors at all which is also in the contract: "Planning, coordination, management and execution of event details!!!! I worked hard at creating "our vision" She arbitrarily changed things. I specifically told her I did not want flowers as table centerpieces, but rather I wanted the candles and glass candle holders that I bought and provided. She put her own decorations with flowers on the table anyway! Souvenirs, specialty cups, other materials that I bought and boxed and labeled specifically with what should go where was not put out. Cups with the Bride and groom's name written on it that I provided (and detailed in my email) weren't placed on our sweetheart table. I have never had such an unprofessional experience with a vendor. Her lack of etiquette (on All levels) decorum, and just plain kindness was appalling. How dare you make disparaging remarks about items we chose as part of our theme. It's our wedding and our vision NOT her's!!! Perhaps she is used to working with people that tolerate that condescending, mean, and unprofessional behavior. We are not and my guests and family members that I sent to help her do HER job didn't expect or deserve that kind of treatment either. Ms. Lopez was contracted to provide a service. While her thoughts and ideas may be solicited and considered, the final decision belongs to the client. We hired her, not the other way around. Moreover, the attitude and sarcasm was atrociously disrespectful. Her job was simple: take the client's vision and execute it. I went to extreme lengths to provide her specific details on how I wanted things set up. All she had to do was read. Ms. Lopez complained that she had other events at the same time. Project and time management is her responsibility, not mine. She should not take on more jobs than she has the bandwidth to accomplish successfully. She literally failed in every aspect of professionalism, planning, ability to organize and project execution.

Judy has been in the party coordination business for quite some time. During the first conversation…read morewith me she told me that in planning the set up that I would not have to worry about anything - to just show up. She is flexible and will establish a payment plan. I trusted her. Everything went well in working with her until the day of my event. She texted me and told me that my cake needed to be delivered an hour before she was going to have access to the venue. I asked her what that meant, if she knew this prior, and if this meant I was not going to have a cake. She replies in asking, "did I say you were not going to have a cake?" I immediately called her and told her I didn't understand the tone in her text. She says she was just telling me about the situation and that she didn't know what was going on with me that day Well, the set up of my event was nice and she NEVER followed up with me to apologize or see if I was satisfied with the setup. At the party, I noticed that my display did not have two flower arrangements that I paid for and was a part of the contract. I reached out to her and expressed my concerns. She responded by saying that my event was a loss for her, that I was being unreasonable, the venue was not good, she was not able to get into the venue to get her materials ....Nothing to do with the missing flowers or with my signed agreement with her. I asked her for a partial reimbursement and she was adamant about only giving me back $50. I am disappointed in how she runs her business and how she lacked professionalism in the end. Her work is beautiful, but I did not get everything that I paid for. She violated our contract, and I am considering taking legal action. Be cautious in hiring her!

- I read your comments and concerns however the people including myself that were yelled at,…read moredisrespected and cursed weren't responsible for everything you are mentioning at all. To address this matter even further as far as damages and the venue being left with extensive cleaning, and soiled drapes ( I'm assuming wet drapery, where alcohol is involved) pretty common in your line of business I would assume ) and vomit in the bathroom. How is it the fault of mine or my associates that were assisting in removal, how ? You cannot blame or excuse your behavior of the few on the many. We were guests at this event and then bystanders while waiting for the equipment to be broken down and beverages packed and escorted out within the hour time frame to clean. My issue is regarding your professionalism and being disrespected. ** Luckily I will not post the video I took of you yelling several profanities, lies, and also stating leave, don't bother to clean just get " F " out repeatedly while having your several security guards try to calm you down almost an hour before the time everyone was supposed to leave. Maybe that's why no one else stayed back to clean to your standards after everything was removed. I will not post it, but simply mention it because we're both adults and I'm sure you're aware of your behavior and the goal is not to embarrass but enlighten you. I'm not unfair in the sense that you were frustrated for the reasons you are claiming, however your anger was misplaced and directed towards the WRONG INDIVIDUALS. The person/team that booked you, these are issues that you speak directly to them. Not go on an uncontrollable rampage of misplaced anger and blame on anyone and everyone within your view. You don't criminalize a bystander for something they did not do. As a grown man you should know better than to scream at women that way even if that wasn't your initial intentions. Myself and those you behaved that way with were not responsible for everything you're clearly upset about. If you're talking about safety precautions, and the usual banter most businesses use to salvage their reputation, doesn't apply to what my complaint is. It is your behavior is what made most of the females in attendance feel unsafe, uncomfortable and disrespected. And as far as how long you've been in business for, I live a few blocks away literally, you're not well known in a positive light. Refer to the other reviews with similar experiences in a different context. I am sorry you feel that way, but as someone in attendance I'm entitled to share my experience whether it's positive or negative. Hopefully you can take your behavior into consideration and account for your future clients, and I do actually wish you well. I can understand when someone is frustrated but that doesn't excuse accountability for your actions.
