On Cloud 10 Events

If you are looking for a professional and a coordinator then I would highly advise that you do NOT…read morego with On Cloud 10 events. Amanda Richardson is extremely unprofessional and does not follow through with anything she says per her contract. She made the wedding planning process unnecessarily more difficult and that is not what any bride is looking for I hired her as a coordinator for my wedding and when I would text or email her she was not timely in her response even though her wedding planning business is her full time job. She recently had a baby and she promises it won't get in the way of anything that a bride may need. Prior to the wedding there was potential chance for rain and Amanda's constantly would bring up stressful scenarios via text. She also yelled at my now husband on the phone when he was calling to get an answer from something she had not responded to me on. On the day of my rehearsal she brought her 3 month old baby and was inattentive and unable to perform her duties which required me stepping in and leading the rehearsal. All of my bridal party complained about her lack of organization and every vendor mentioned that she was very abrasive, Rude and difficult to work with. On the day of my wedding despite multiple reassurances that it would be stress free and I wouldn't know if anything would go wrong, she repeatedly called me and my moh. She didn't make sure we followed the timeline she created she didn't set up the decor properly. She even came up to me to let me know my camera battery had died and what would I do , luckily the dj had a spare. She was absent pretty much the entire reception and her response was she was going back and forth from two cabins onsite of the venue in which she only needed to go one time to bring a change of clothes and only brought the brides and not the groom. She was not needed in either Cabin and We had to send the dad to retrieve the change of clothes. We also had to ask our guests to tell other guests to find their seats because amanda was missing again. Amanda told me if I didn't pay for her meal to eat at the wedding she would need one hour to eat dinner. I paid for her and her assistant to have a meal and they ate that meal and then went to get McDonald's and were once again not at the reception. Multiple vendors were looking for amanda so instead I as the bride had to handle everything I hired her for. Towards the end of the evening amanda was once again missing and my family started packing up and loading up their cars. Then amanda jumped in to help, we were missing items and they were never packed with our decor. The best ending to this disaster of a coordinator is I also rented an arch with fake flowers on it. Since amanda was nowhere to be found, the staff at the venue started cleaning and accidentally threw away the flowers. At the end of the night when she was dropping off the decor that my family hadn't brought over she had the audacity to ring the doorbell of my parents house and demand that they pay a couple hundred dollars for the fake flowers that were thrown out due to her negligence. This company is a joke, she will charge you a lower price and offer discounts to pay her off earlier so that you're trapped to keep her as a coordinator and it's too close to the wedding. The best part is if you tell her anything she does wrong she will threaten to transfer you to another random coordinator because she only wants 5 star reviews. When I booked her she had reviews on Facebook and it seems she recently took them down most likely due to bad reviews.

We hired Amanda to be our day of coordinator for our August 22nd wedding. Upon first meeting with…read moreher, we were impressed with her willingness to go the extra mile; however, as time went on and we started having differences of opinions, we feel that Amanda overstepped professional boundaries. While working as our coordinator, Amanda reassured us that she would make our day perfect, but in our opinion, was unable to do that. She wanted us to hire an additional assistant less than two weeks before the wedding, stating that she couldn't perform her duties without one (only family members and close friends attended), despite saying she would make our day stress-free for almost a year. We had last minute vendor changes due to suggestions Amanda made, which caused us to extend our already tight budget. Due to not being able to hire an assistant so close to the wedding, and not being able to come up with compromises that satisfied her enough for her to attend our wedding, we decided to let Amanda go. From there, things went even more downhill and we feel Amanda has overstepped many boundaries in the way she continued (and continues) to be involved, despite no longer working for us. After letting Amanda go, communication with her often turns into arguing; we feel like our voices and views aren't heard, and seems to us like Amanda has a defensive, aggressive, and threading attitude about whatever we say. Even though she was helpful with a few aspects of our wedding, we feel that overall working with Amanda made our planning process way more stressful and taxing than it needed to be. Our day ended up going smoothly thanks to family members who attended (whom Amanda was not going to let help with any aspect of the wedding) and we feel the day was better with her not being there. From one bride to another, we feel like a more established and professional company would be more of an asset in helping your planning and wedding day go smoothly, and do not recommend hiring Amanda/Iris Ophelia Wedding + Events.

The arrangement itself was remarkable, elegant, and truly breathtaking. The recipient raved and is in love.

I really struggled with whether to leave this review because the bouquet I received was beautiful…read morein its own way, and eventually a partial refund issue was resolved. However, I also think it's important to be honest about my experience as a bride. I first discovered TG Floristry after seeing the owner deliver arrangements at another establishment, and I loved her work. I booked her for my wedding bouquet and boutonniere/pocket arrangement for my husband. Early on, she showed me an inspiration bouquet she thought would fit my vision, but afterward I emailed her a completely different reference photo that better reflected what I actually wanted. She acknowledged the updated inspiration, and at no point did she mention any issue with the change or indicate she planned to use the original design instead. We also discussed coordinating flowers for my wedding cake, especially since she and my cake vendor knew each other and planned to collaborate on finishing touches. All of these conversations happened months before my wedding, so I felt confident everything was aligned. Unfortunately, on my wedding day, things went very differently. When I arrived for pickup, she was about 15 minutes late, and when I saw the bouquet, I was immediately devastated because it was not the bouquet I had requested or envisioned. When I brought this up, she referenced the original inspiration photo she had shown me months earlier, even though I had clearly communicated that I wanted a different style afterward. At that point, my wedding was only a few hours away, and she mentioned being backed up with prom orders and another wedding later that evening. I realized there wasn't realistically time to remake it, so I took the bouquet because I had no other option. Later that day, I emailed her expressing how disappointed I was and requested a partial refund. What upset me further was that instead of acknowledging the misunderstanding, she argued that she didn't believe she had done anything wrong. She eventually agreed to refund $70 of the $220 total and said it would take 3-5 days. After a week passed with no refund, I had to follow up myself. I then received an explanation that honestly felt dismissive, along with a new statement that she had supposedly not charged me for cake flowers and deducted $10 from the refund amount. This had never been discussed previously, so receiving only $60 instead of the agreed $70 felt frustrating and unprofessional. Again, the bouquet itself was pretty. But it was not the bouquet I requested for my wedding day, and the communication and customer service afterward left me feeling unheard and disrespected during a very important moment in my life.

Throughout the entire process she was able to provide extremely valuable advice and expertise. She had a mastery of the wedding profession beyond what we knew was possible. We learned quickly how much we didn't know about the planning process, but Kaisey always had the masterful ability to guide us down the right path. She was incredibly organized and easy to get ahold of. The support she provided to both the wedding and us as a couple was phenomenal. We truly valued her role in the wedding not just as a talented professional, but as a overall great person - when the wedding was all wrapped up we both agreed that working with Kaisey was something we'd miss. We can honestly say that the wedding planning process was fun and with minimal stress, largely thanks to Kaisey. Couldn't have done it without her - eternally grateful!

I didn't want to taint my wedding memories with a negative review, but our experience was so…read morefrustrating that others deserve to know what they're getting into: The Hibiscus is disorganized, unresponsive, and will nickel-and-dime you after the fact. I'm posting this 2 days after my reception. 1. They ghosted us after booking. I asked repeatedly for photos and pricing on decor they'd promised during our tour. Literal months of unanswered emails and calls. My mom resorted to checking their online calendar and showing up in person during setup for other events just to catch someone. Even then, we only got a rough quote for thousands of dollars with no photos of what they could actually deliver. With one month to go, my family decided to do all the decor ourselves. I worry they will now use photos of our hard work as their own; if they send you pics of decor, make sure to confirm their staff did it and not renters. 2. Critical requirements sent days before. Two days before our wedding weekend - when family was arriving and we were drowning in final preparations - they emailed asking for our bartending vendor's COI and sent detailed check in/out instructions for the first time. I'm lucky I even checked my email to see them. Even worse - when the COI provided didn't meet their specs, they expected me to mediate between them and the bartending company the day before my wedding, when I had a hundred other things to take care of. This should have been handled months in advance! 3. Hidden lighting charges. During our tour, we were shown the wall lighting and told it could be set to any color and brightness. I specifically said I wanted this because I hate harsh overhead lighting. They never mentioned it would cost extra. On our wedding day, I arrived to see only the overhead lights on. My husband had to call Nneka to come turn on the wall lights during cocktail hour, with guests already there. We were billed $250 for turning on these permanent fixtures we thought were included (reduced to $100 when my complaint went to management). 4. Unreasonable cleaning expectations and fees. After our reception we collected all items and trash, wiped tables, stacked chairs, and left the venue in good condition (see photo). They emailed me the next day claiming "it does not appear that any cleaning was done" and tried to charge us $400. After I pushed back with the photo, they reduced it to $250, saying we didn't sweep the floors and haul trash to the dumpster. A commercial venue expecting exhausted clients to leave the space move-in-ready for the next renter is absurd, especially when the full checklist is emailed to the bride only 2 days before the weekend. 5. Zero on-site support. Staff appeared briefly at setup, then vanished. No one was there during or at the end of our event. We were completely on our own, expected to leave the venue ready for the next renters, and lock the doors ourselves. My family poured our hearts into making this night beautiful, and it was--but no thanks to Hibiscus staff. This is a commercial venue but they manage it worse than an Airbnb. It made our wedding exponentially more stressful than necessary - so bad that I'm writing this when I should be enjoying newlywed bliss!

So many changes had to be made multiple times, and I am amazed by how smoothly things ran anyways on my wedding day. Tara's bubbly and upbeat personality was also such a help to me during an incredibly stressful time of changes. My parents also were absolutely thrilled with her and all of the planner's help. In addition, she did a great job pulling things together that I left very open ended (I frequently said things like, can we just make it like, nice, and wedding ish? And they came out fabulous!) In the end our Wedding was beautiful and memorable in a good way despite world circumstances. Thanks again to Premier Party Planners!

She gave her input on different ideas and worked within our budget. My Husband and I didn't stress about anything.

She was extremely efficient with responding to my questions. and emails. Looking back, I do not know how people plan weddings without a professional planner. I am so happy Nicole planned my reception, and she will be used again. Obviously, not for another wedding of mine, but future showers and parties.
