RUN from EVA, the "wedding planner NOT". Once you have plunked down your $3,000. reaching her…read morebecomes next to impossible. E-mails go unanswered, her phone gets put on Robot mode, text messages are ignored. We even drove down to her hair salon trying desperately to reach her. In her profession, planning is the key. Planners are in regular communication with their clients, have a mutually agreed upon plan and (especially if outdoors), contingency plans for weather, tides, crowds, etc. Eva does NOT!
After making a trip to our wedding location, two weeks before the wedding we tried to reach her to plan or suggest an alternate, less crowded area. When we finally made contact, good news, Eva actually had us on her schedule for the correct date! However, she had us scheduled for wrong time (4:00 p.m. in lieu of 11:00 a.m.) at the wrong location 20 miles north! Our concerns were confirmed. When we suggested an alternate location, the answer was a "hard No"! After that, Eva went dark again (not responsive to calls, texts, etc.)!! Not until almost 13 hours before the wedding did she suggested that our guests arrive 3-4 hours early to make sure they could secure nearby parking and "hang out" and enjoy the beach prior to the ceremony. Can you imagine our elderly guests all dressed up for a wedding, out on the beach for several hours, sweating to death, watching her set up? This is when we knew we were on our own.
We had 13 hours to scramble, put a wedding together on the beach (at our condo), finding someone to perform the service, set up chairs, make an altar, notify all the guests of the change... We got it done without any assistance whatsoever from Eva.
On an end note, Eva has received negative reviews before and has posted rebuttals denying any wrongdoing. We expect her to do the same here. Ask yourself, "Why take a chance on having your child's special day ruined by this woman?" There are plenty of other planners in the area, why risk it? We highly suggest you RUN, RUN, RUN form Eva, the Wedding Planner, NOT!!!
