If I could rate it less than a 1 out of 5 stars I would. Not only have I heard horrible things from other brides (like her sons helping set-up and making sticky fingerprints on all the mirrors) but I had a horrific experience as well.
This woman, Amanda Guenette, has no social skills and we met with her (my mother, MOH and I) one time 8 months before my wedding, to see about decorations we could rent and linens.
Her base price was $1,000. Somewhere between there and our meeting I ended up with a $2,200 invoice balance. As soon as I found another company I called her and left her a voicemail message that stated we would no longer need her services (or her outdated decorations)...
Well, 8 months later (3 wks before my wedding) she calls and says "I would like to go over everything for your wedding". I told her how I had left her a voicemail and assumed since I speak to a number of vendors, she just got the message and moved on. That was my mistake. Her voice went instantly flat on the line and she said "You're $200 deposit will not be returned to you and I will contact you with what I would like to do about your special ordered decorations that I already ordered"
ALREADY ORDERED? We spoke once in 8 months. Anybody who has ever been a bride knows how many times minds get changed. So we soon received not 1 but 2 nasty letters about how she was thinking of taking us to court and all that business. Needless to say we just gave her the $280 she wanted because in my life, that drama isn't worth it.
I would NEVER EVER suggest ANYONE hire Ms. Guenette as a "decorator" or whatever she parades herself to be. That is my experience and I'm so glad I could get it out and make my day much better with the help of FINAL TOUCHES DESIGNS (they're awesome.) read more
