We cannot recommend Swanky I Dos. We hired Stephanie for design and flow plus transportation, for an additional fee. We got design boards that didn't reflect our significant input, a flow that ultimately failed on our wedding day, and we ended up quoting and negotiating the transportation ourselves. She provided some good vendor recommendations but also a very disappointing one. Despite paying extra for her transportation services, after 6 months and multiple requests, she still didn't get updated quotes from the preferred vendor discussed in our first meeting- in the last month we finally had to call, quote and negotiate the transportation ourselves. And, despite providing her with shuttle times, she still communicated this incorrectly, confusing our vendor and costing us more! With floral costs de-emphasized in our budget since our first meeting, she dropped a $10K floral proposal on us at 11:43am Dec23rd, convenient since she was out of office starting at noon for the next 10 days. We respected her family time and didn't contact her, but we had so many questions. It was very stressful. At our design trial 2 weeks out, the linens from her recommended vendor weren't correct. It took her 5 days to send an email to the vendor to address it, losing precious time to fix the issue or an opportunity to pick out a backup, if needed. I was stressed unnecessarily with something that a coordinator is supposed to do. Our vendors provided a draft schedule a month in advance, but it was dropped on us too late to work with her and our vendors to make needed adjustments, and ultimately she failed to give everyone a schedule - a key task for a day-of coordinator. On wedding day, it showed. When her highly recommended hair/makeup vendor was running hours late, Stephanie was a ghost, she didn't help manage her vendor or find a fix - but instead gave my mother a countdown (as if my mother worked for her!?) when she should have been in the room. Her absence and pressure on my mother stressed out a situation that resulted in my hair being ruined - a stringy mess, not big princess Kate curls. We lost our first-look and wedding party picture time. Guests were congregated in our picture area - a good coordinator would have been there to move them along to the shuttles - she was a ghost and I lost my bridal reveal moment. At the church, she didn't even have the "day of kit." She didn't have anything for me to touch myself up before we were announced in the ballroom. When I reached out in the days after the wedding to express disappointment and ask a question about the transportation overage costs, she never even responded - let alone apologize or take any responsibility. In a word, unprofessional. The planning snafus wouldn't matter if the wedding day went well. In hindsight, it shows a pattern of everything appearing to be polished on the surface with no true follow through behind it. I trusted Stephanie with the biggest day of my life and I feel completely betrayed. read more
