I went to Occasions to order flowers for my wedding. Waited 20 minutes to be helped, then the one…read moreperson working (manager I think?) kept walking away to help other people. It took us nearly two hours to get our flowers ordered. I SPECIFICALLY asked what the packages include and the lady said that there were no package deals, but you got free shipping and a toss bouquet with every order. We ordered boutonnieres and a bouquet for me for what seemed like a reasonable price. We payed for half that day. About a week before the wedding, my fiance went in to check on the order. He asked when the rest of the money was due and was told that it was due that day. (No one ever told us that. What would have happened if he hadn't gone in that day?) He then tried to conform our order and was told that a toss bouquet was not part of the deal but he could purchase one for $15 dollars. It was so close to the wedding that we had no other choice but to buy it. The day of the wedding the flowers were late to arrive and half dead. The boutonnieres kept breaking when we tried to pin them on. My bouquet was completely dead by the end of the night. Overall, NOT impressed and I will never go back to Occasions again.

I bounced around multiple times between Occasions, Party America, and Michael's to compare merchandise and prices. Occasions offers the most decorations for bridal showers and was the only place I could find a "Just Married" flag for a car window. On a couple of my visits, they didn't have the exact balloons or party items I had in mind and took out their catalogues to see if it was something that could be ordered. I've always had a great experience in their store. The only downside is that they're not open on Sundays.

I won a free DJ through Bellagala which is how I heard about them. I ended up booking a…read morephotographer, videographer, and hair stylist as well. The prices are pretty average. Many people say they are expensive, but for the most part, the prices ride the middle compared to other vendors. I was very happy the day of, everyone was on time, some even stayed late. My pictures were beautiful, my video ended up being above and beyond expectations, and my hair was lovely. The DJ had a few mic issues, but played a great Playlist and kept everyone on the dance floor. I also loved the discount I got for continuing to book with Bellagala. It is a bit tricky to get to. They are located above the Bulldog restaurant so if you aren't familiar with the city, it's tricky. You either need to parallel park by the meters.or park in the ramp, and then find the super inconspicuous elevator to take you up to Bellagala. But if you are local, or feeling confident, I'm sure you could find it without an issue. Very professional staff. They are dressed professionaly, offered us tea and water, and they took notes the whole meeting. Very impressed and will recommend to everyone.

We hired Bellagala for day-of wedding coordination because we wanted to spend our wedding focused…read moreon each other and our guests, not managing logistics. Unfortunately, our coordinator became one of the biggest sources of stress that day. Leading up to the wedding, communication often felt reactive. We found ourselves repeatedly following up, initiating planning discussions, and driving decisions. While our coordinator was friendly, she never gave us confidence that the details were truly under control. On the wedding day, that lack of preparation became apparent. Multiple family members had to step in and perform responsibilities we had hired a coordinator to handle. At one point, our coordinator insisted our reception ended at 10:00 p.m., despite our contract reserving the venue until 11:00 p.m. Even after being corrected once, she later began directing family members and guests to clean up an hour early, causing part of our reception to end prematurely. Family members had to correct her a second time. What has been most disappointing is the lasting impact. Every conversation I've had about our wedding since then has included someone asking, "What was happening with your coordinator?" or commenting on how overwhelmed and unprofessional she appeared. Instead of remembering our wedding for the joy of the day, many people remember the chaos surrounding its coordination. We shared these concerns with Bellagala in detail after the wedding. Their response was that they believed the contracted services had been fulfilled and they declined any refund or other resolution. I understand that no wedding is perfect, but a day-of coordinator should reduce stress, not create it. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Bellagala's coordination services.

The team she hired to set up the venue was clearly inexperienced and even made comments to my family members saying, "I'm not sure what to do I've never done this before." Time was severely mismanaged and the coordinator/owner was visibly overwhelmed. Marilee does not care whether or not you are happy with her services. After the wedding, I tried contacting Marilee privately to express my dissatisfaction and try and find a compromise on the amount she billed us for (which she was unwilling to give any details or itemization of her invoice) and she ended up ignoring my emails. She took no accountability, was disrespectful and made rude comments about my wedding, and showed no willingness to compromise...she never apologized and immediately was defensive and threatened legal action. After trying to contact her 3 times and being ignored, she filed with small claims. The judgement ended up being dismissed. After having such a horrible experience and doing more research, I found out the business was dissolved in 2014 and is no longer legally operating under its LLC.
