I got married this past weekend 10/20/18 and had to decorate and coordinate my special day, myself. Imagine that, running around like crazy cause the so called "decorator/coordinator" you hired takes $3700 of your money and disappears a month before your wedding!!! I tried calling her, texting her, emailing her personal and business emails and even FB messenger to no avail. I have no choice but to wait after my wedding to move forward with legal action. Did. I mention this lady has 5 civil opened cases on her already?!! I've contacted the gentlemen who left a review below to help me testify in court when I press charges against her. Again, please do not use this lady. Please spread the word. Hopefully, justice will prevail and punish scum like her.

Please read this before giving her your deposit and going forward with hiring her…read more Before I get into why we ultimately decided to relieve Ms. Nadine of her responsibilities I do wish to point out two things that we appreciated and were the reasons we decided to hire her in the first place: 1. Nadine is extremely responsive. Usually when we messaged her, unless she was working another event she usually replied almost immediately. 2. She is extremely creative. When we were talking about ideas for our wedding space she gave us ideas that we loved and seemed cost effective as well. Now to the reasons why we ultimately decided to let her go. The short version is we felt she didn't listen, she was disorganized, and unprofessional. Here is the long version: 1. We didn't feel like she did an adequate job of listening to us: There were a few instances of this. One had to do with showing us venues via internet. After our second official meeting we had told Nadine that we did not want to consider reception venues in Baltimore or ones that were outside. Our third meeting was when she was supposed to show us the last few venues that she was looking into and where we were supposed to pick the ones that we would ultimately go to visit. Of the three she showed us during that meeting, one was in Baltimore, one was outside and one was just completely horrendous. Needless to say we were not impressed Another instance where we felt like she did not listen was with the actual ceremony. I am Catholic and my fiancé is Orthodox and we were talking about how we wished to let our priests be more in charge of the ceremony as both faith traditions are very specific about what needs to happen in order for the churches to deem the sacrament both valid and licit. Instead of inquiring as to what we meant she just informed us that both her dad and brother are pastors and we don't need to worry about that and that we could do whatever we wanted to for the ceremony. Lastly for this section, my bride to be did not feel like she was heard during this process. Off the bat she told my bride that she didn't use Pinterest. This struck us as odd because we figured wedding planners would use any means to connect with their client base, but we moved forward anyways. Repeatedly my bride told Nadine things that she wanted in the wedding and those things were usually promptly forgotten or brushed under the rug. 2. Lack of organization: Again many many things we could talk about in this section, but I will just stick to the top few. The first one was inability to keep to schedules. We had Ms. Nadine under contract for 4 months. 2 months into contract she finally gave us a timeline for our wedding planning. Fast forward 1.5 months later and we had done literally nothing from checklist. The biggest issue was that we were supposed to have had a venue booked by October 1st 2017 for our August 4th (2018) wedding. By mid November we still had not visited any places. Throughout October we had kept asking her what the delay was and she kept telling us that she was having trouble getting in touch with different places and by the end of October we had voiced our concerns. She had promised us that within two weeks time we would have 3 venue visits scheduled. Leading up to the day of our venue visits she told us that she had 2 appointments on the books and was still waiting to hear on one so we decided 2/3 was not bad. On the day of she called us at 3 pm to tell us that our 4:30 appointment was actually at 3:30 which of course created issues. My bride was able to make that appointment but unfortunately I was not. On the way to the second appointment my bride received a call from Nadine saying that we actually never had an appointment at the second place and that the venue was hosting an event. She did ask if we would be willing to drive 45 minutes to go look at the place from the outside though. The funny thing is the day we fired her I called the two venues that we were supposed to see that "she wasn't able to get in touch with" and had appointments at both places within 20 minutes. Ultimately we didn't go with either venue which leads to the second point in this section, she failed to gather important information. With the second of the two venues that we were visiting, she had told us that the venue fell within our budget, but was at the upper end (we had budgeted around 5k for the rental space). Not only was this venue more than double our budget (just for the space), we had to use their service staff which would have brought our costs FOR THE VENUE ALONE up to around 18k. Not only that she had told us they could accommodate our number (350) and they said they couldn't. On that same vein it seems that she never looked up officiant laws in VA. If she had she would have seen that none of our priests would have been able to marry is in VA as VA requires officiants to be registered with the county that the couple is getting married in. Going back to trouble

TL;DR Troy's events are much more than ordinary events. They're for those who live for the…read moreunexpected moments and making unexpected connections. When we go to events, most of us generally have expectations of what they normally entail. Some of us will begin to dismiss the possibilities of the unexpected. In my own observation and experience, Troy's events are not those events. Troy is not the planner you collaborate with when you want a normal event. He specializes in the unexpected. However, there are those of us that understands that every waking moment is unexpected. Everyday, we meet all kinds of people. But what is it about meeting them at a networking event, holiday party or wedding makes the unexpected come out of some. You will meet these people at Troy's events whether out of familiar faces or out of strangers you are soon to meet. If you're a event's professional in DC and you're not attending these events, you're missing out on making lasting connections. These are the kind of connections that propels personal and professional growth. In my past experiences. I've partied through the stroke of midnight with friends I made that evening at his Studio 54 DC New Years Eve Party. Set at the Blind Whino artistic venue, this event was a step out of reality and memorable. At the MES mixers, I've caught myself in the a truly diverse mix of DC young professionals ranging between artisans, techies, musicians, natural-born hustlers and jet-setters. The connections I've made so far can be best described as relationships fused between business and friendship. If you're a DC professional networker, a couple planning your big day, or living for those truly unique experiences, check out Troyal Events.

He helped us design the entire day, and the result was more beautiful that we could have ever imagined. We definitely felt he took the time to create a personal, individualized reception for us, as opposed to just pulling from a usual "bag of tricks." Troy was also invaluable by running our ceremony and rehearsal. He made sure we were calm, prepared, and stayed on schedule. We knew we didn't have to worry about any details besides sharing the day with our friends and family. The peace of mind was tremendous, and we couldn't have done it without him. Troy's professionalism and passion for his work is unparalleled, and I highly recommend you consider him to be a part of your next event.
