Late post:
To help support continued excellence for future clients, I wanted to share a few learnings from the perspective of the bridal party, based on input from several members of the group.
While many of these were behind-the-scenes details, they had a real impact on our experience as the bridal party and family.
Bianca's professionalism:
Rude - smart and snarky comments
- "That's what I said" when asked for confirmation of direction/instruction
- Going back and forth with bridal party
Overall highly disorganized from start to dinner:
- Multiple times party was unsure of what to do/where to go
- Rehearsal was pointless as we didn't follow anything we practiced but the order to stand in (tall to short)
- Having us go back and forth multiple times in heels due to unclear direction from Bianca and team
- Bianca arguing with staff including photographers and Dave in front of everyone
- Two groomsmen were left out of the opening entrance due to being rushed and not accounted for beforehand
- Eating appetizers while working with us in close proximity (trying to physically move us in posing positions with a bbq meatball in her hand.) We are ALL wearing satin and she did this next to the brides WHITE dress!
- Treated bouquet babes (flower girl moms) with complete disregard. Made comments like "you're not a part of the bridal party so you won't take pics" as well as "you're not a part of the party, so sit down as you 'can't' do the entrance with them".
- Stealing an umbrella from rehearsal which she adamantly denies even though it was the only working one present that we brought...
Photographers:
- Overall rude
- Did not know how to pose us and did not specify when they were actually taking pics versus getting light / lens situated
- Pushing bridal party to the side and rushing because of lack of preparation
- No solo photos
- As of 12/31/25, we have not received all photos from this wedding that was held beginning of October. Just in case timing matters to a future couple, it's seems 8-12 weeks is a suggestion.
I do not care if this was the "last wedding" at this venue (even though someone else toured DURING our rehearsal...), professionalism is expected ESPECIALLY for a once in a lifetime celebration. It was to the point the entire bridal party, though acting accordingly, were over it and very irritated before walking out for the reception. This was supposed to be a happy and joyful moment with our friends and family and we walked out with fake smiles just wanting to sit down and finally get away from Bianca.
There's a difference between wedding planning AND day of coordinating. Difference being - PLANNING/DICTATING vs EXECUTING. This wedding was not executed the way we expected/hoped for and it sorely messed with our experience and memories.
We are hoping we can salvage some of the photos from that day, however, two and a half months later... only select proofs have been sent and, most recently, a 10-minute video.
So we are clear, an email was sent with all of this directly to Bianca following the wedding, which she responded to almost immediately dismissing/deflecting majority of the above concerns/behaviors experienced. All in all, she's not a true detail oriented person. She checks major things off the list but leaves a lot of the finer details to chance. Something that should also be noted to future consumers. read more
