We rate Rachel Hollenbeck and BHive Events 0.00! She took our money ($1000.00 up front even though…read morethe contract said only 50% upfront) and did absolutely nothing for us. Once she had our money she stopped communicating with us. When we finally were able to talk to her, she lied to us about contacting our vendors. She said she contacted several of them and they denied this. She said she would send us a schedule and other information on disk. Each time she promised to send it by a certain time, she didn't. We never did get one. Several of our vendors said they had heard other complaints about her. We fired her because she created more stress for us, not less. We had an amazing wedding without her

Heritage Ranch was selected by the bride and groom of the wedding we attended and I have to say…read morethat this place is stunning, family run and with lots of space their wedding was one of the most memorable ones I have attended. Simply know by locals in Sedalia as "The Barn" Heritage Ranch is indeed a barn, a barn constructed to look older than it is with a mix of recycled and new materials. In addition there are two. . .huts? One for the groom's wedding party and one for the brides. . .be warned. . .these are the only two areas with air conditioning and if you are going to have a wedding in anything other than winter that barn gets toasty. . .not toasty enough for me to dock a star but tosty enough for me to say that the family that ownes it might need to look into better cooling options than the random massive fans that were everywhere. . .pordable AC units are a thing. . . LADIES! The parking for the venu is a rock field, as in the roadway is made of loose rocks, bring flats or boots and switch to heels when you get to the barn. No really Don't try to do the lot in heels. Behind the barn sits a small play area for children that we found quite functional. Remember to READ what you are signing up for though because there is a lot of clean ups you will be responsible for, you turn everything back over the way you got it. Loved it, loved Sedalia A very good venue option for sure.

PP is the perfect little boutique to visit when you are planning your next special event/party. You'll not only find unique decorations, but you'll also find great gift ideas. The day I shopped, I found great greeting cards, which I love to send snail mail and a fun trivia game. The card game was, Food & Drink Trivia. A perfect game for a foodie. I wish I would have bought two and added the second one to my gift drawer. It would make a perfect gift for one of my foodie friends. I'll be honest, the customer service was a little off. The young lady working stayed behind the counter and really did not interact with us until one of dropped something and when I went to check-out. If she came out from behind the counter and interacted with us, she could have made additional sales. I also find it weird that their phone number is not on the business card and not posted on their website. I'm old school and sometimes, you just want to talk to a real person instead of doing e-mail.

We met at a bridal expo and he just held himself very professionally and could answer and explain anything we asked him about. We left knowing that we wanted to book him. Jonathan did amazing at the wedding. He kept the party alive and translated and was able to flow the music so well that the dance floor was full the entire night! My wife asked me to hire a wedding coordinator when we started planning our wedding and honestly I didn't want to spend the money on it. Boy I wish we hired Lisa out front. Lisa has all her stuff so easy to follow and fill out it was great. Only thing I regret is we hired her 3 months before our wedding when we should've from the start. So we had to fill her in on what we did and who we hired. Lisa did great. She took care of everything. She even started the Víbora De La Mar. She's so easy to talk to and made sure everything was stress free and easy going on our big day.She talked to our vendors and she got everyone lined up and ready to go for our special day. If there were any problems we didn't hear about them because she took care of it. Thank you Jonathan and Lisa you both did a wonderful job. Our day was perfect and we couldn't recommend them enough!
