I wish there was a no star option.
If you don't have time to read, I'll get to the point here: do not book Kim Moore or anyone with Events and Moore for a wedding or any other event for that matter.
For a more detailed explanation, read on.
I'm an event planner, and have been for 5 years. My sister got engaged last year and I took on a lot of the planning which I was fine with doing, but with a full time job, it was getting to be a bit much so I asked my mom to book a wedding planner to help out.
We gave Kim a list of things to accomplish a couple months before the wedding including: program for wedding, coasters for wedding favors, booking transportation to and from the hotels, a party bus for wedding party, runners for tables, and day of tasks. After receiving payment, Kim disappeared. We later found out that she was getting surgery and wouldn't be available for 2 weeks- a month away from the wedding.
2 weeks before the wedding, nothing had been taken care of yet and it was as if we have to constantly reminder her that things needed to get done. Fast forward to the event day: The table runners didn't show up until a couple hours before the reception was to start, the coasters were delivered a day before, NO transportation was arranged for our guests (the mother of the bride was waiting at the hotel for 45 MINUTES to get picked up by a random cab she had to call herself), and the party bus for the wedding party was terrible- no a/c, no working ice machine, non working bathroom, and was double booked so our trip got cut short. Kim knew about these defects, but just left the church anyway without saying anything about the condition of the bus.
Not to mention, during the reception, I was the one that had to continuously communicate with the DJ about the timing of things (dances, cutting of the cake, meal service, etc.) I looked over at Kim was just lounging in a chair in the foyer. After the reception, the cake was left and the hosts asked what they should do with it. A bridesmaid suggested that it should be packed up and stored for pick up. Kim said "That's not my responsibility."
Being in event planning, I sympathize as I know that things go wrong sometimes, but it's expected to work hard to reconcile those issues.
Kim was a complete disappointment. read more
