I was reluctant to do this b/c I think Angela is a nice person & I think she means well but based solely from a client standpoint, I had the worst wedding planning experience. It has been 8 months since our wedding & am still haunted by what transpired. I too had a similar experience as the other reviewer but instead of cutting ties when I should've, I gave her the benefit of the doubt by letting her plan our wedding. I had bad experiences with a couple of other vendors that she highly recommended, which I know wonder if she contributed to that. I felt like she told us one thing and them something else. The warning signs were there but I trusted her. After all, she did this for a living.
She was completely unorganized. So much so that I had to hire a friend who was a retired Project Manager @ BOA to help with the wedding planning. Till this day, our Save The Dates are nowhere to be found. She claimed to have mailed it out twice but no one has ever seen them. The week of the wedding was not what I had planned. I stayed up several hours w/ very little sleep working on the day of schedule & stressing out about whether or not my Planner knew what she was doing.. The rehearsal was a mess, which caused a delay on everything that day. We were extremely behind schedule on the day of the wedding and she was nowhere to be seen except for when I arrived at the church.
Looking back, I wished we wouldn't have gone cheap on the wedding planner & hired someone w/ more experience to handle our wedding. The only positive thing I can say is that her design skills are great but it came with a cost. Needless to say, our budget quadrupled by the time our wedding was over b/c she lured us into thinking we could get glam at a discounted price. Brides to be, let me tell you - there's no such thing! read more
