What should I do when a certain event planner silences me from speaking my Truths about the issue…read morewe have following my wedding? Her "team" lost numerous items of decor: projector, chargers, my wedding gifts and some cards which had checks for gifts and then didn't do her job of setting the room up with simple instructions. The room looked like a hot mess. Her staffer was rarely seen, barely completed the "decor set up" as guests eagerly arrived and then after damaging my property, losing my property, they have gone radio silent after this morning post was removed. Why was it removed? There are vendors out here that screw up and/or do crappy work and people like me should be able to voice the truth about my interaction and people like me who spent their hard earned money on pin the tail on the donkey decorator should hold them accountable in front of their peers and customers, past present or future. I have disputed my charge for this so called planner, special moments event planner is their name. I posted tons of pics so I won't waste my time just yet BUT anyone can message me and I will be happy to forward the mess they have caused and the fraud in their services. There is no accountability. There is no customer service. There has still not been any communication about the issues outstanding with me and my new husband to the owners of this shop. The only replies I have received, you might also have received, and that is because they pride themselves on their nonsense reviews for couples who pay over $10000 for their services. (Your getting screwed!) she was definitely not worth the $1100 I paid her either. If you hear the name Shauna I promise just say NO. She doesn't take any notes, she doesn't have any decor abilities and surely is playing above her pay grade. It seems I'm the one who has to call them out on their shotty staff, services and owner. One may have won awards among her peers, but based on my post silently disappears, it is apparent that these reviews are rigged and the wedding mafia has struck again. Special moments event planning your a joke for the little people like myself. I would never have paid the rates for your services. I had high hopes cuz I was in a pre-wedding haze. Now I'm in post wedding battle. And let me also say my family friends and my new family and friends were the sole reason I didn't go 305 on their asses, while I yanked their vendor plates from their lazy hands. I'm sure this won't last an hour on the group even 2am but I'm hoping if I do it enough times and have my friends family also cut and paste the same reviews that we can break this stupidity of not letting everyday people speak their peace. I'm not going away on Facebook so as a result I will continue to speak the truths about the incompetence, unprofessional handling of client issues (valid issues) and then stealing my funds and very possibly my property (cards and gifts included). Think it's impossible to believe I think it's possible. I think it's real. I think it's a travesty. I think they are an overrated, overpaid, dive bar flunkie planners who proclaim #1 status but it's all about who ya know: wedding sorority who rules these groups. So before I'm removed yet again and kicked out from helping one person say NO, screw these idiots and their antics. I'm letting my credit card handle what they can for payment withheld. It's only fair as they lost damaged. Then I go to small claims. Two can play ball , so consider this is my first homefun. Just having one person read is phenomenal. One can only hide their truths so long. Good luck on your wedding dates ladies. Cheers and just say NO special memories event planning !!!

If you are thinking of saving the expense of a wedding planner and trying to do it all yourself…read more.. DON'T!! First, Special Moments are most affordable you will find for what they offer. Second, it is well worth the expense to have expert wedding planners like Tammy and Petra take away all the stress on your wedding day so you can enjoy every minute of it... cause it goes by quick! I didn't even know the cops showed up in response to a noise complaint, or that my dad was late getting to the ceremony to walk me down the aisle! We never ran out of anything, and all the vendors did what they were hired to do, so we didn't need to manage a thing. We could just enjoy our special day with our family and friends. Finally, whatever it costs to hire them, you will get every penny back through their excellent recommendations and vast inventory. They saved us thousands of dollars by recommending an amazing caterer at a per person cost that other vendors couldn't believe he was charging. And their vast amount of decor inventory for every taste saved us hundreds of dollars on new decor - plus who wants the brain damage of having to sell it all on Craigslist after the wedding? Petra is one of the hardest workers I know, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with the most important day of my life. She was on top of everything at all times, and the day could not have gone any smoother. And she deserves an Emmy for the most memorable part of our day - when she helped play a prank on our best man by telling him I wasn't coming. Thank you Tammy and Petra for making sure our wedding was the fairytale wedding I had always dreamed of! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQsz9cS-_zKAlBQcBzwEc70ErfD3dYvt/view?usp=sharing

We rented their bounce house with a water slide, and also added their cotton candy machine rental--which was a total crowd favorite! The whole experience was fun, smooth, and memorable. Nick and Melissa, the wonderful owners of Bounce House Man, arrived right on time and carefully set everything up--including tarps, the inflatable slide, and the cotton candy station. The slide was clean, safe, and perfect for our water-loving toddler.

This review is for their Christmas buffet. I believe the event hospitality group of the TradeWinds…read moreis in charge of this, their chefs and staff. Top notch job and if this shows what they are capable of, i would have them prepare a buffet for any special event. We enjoyed your Christmas brunch buffet for years and was very sad when it stopped due to COVID. Everyplace else was open and they moved to a plated meal instead of lavish and beautiful holiday buffet. We had to find another one and it was really subpar. Not the quality or variety of TradeWinds, small and cramped and the year after it went downhill from there. We vowed we could not go back. What could we do? When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but the tradewinds buffet brunch, there on the webpage, a glorious site to See. I blinked and hoped I had not made a mistake, an old archived site, but no, it said 2023! YESSS! This, my friends, is a holiday buffet, the way so many were that were lost. This buffet is back and is THE One. I was so happy to see Tradewinds was Back!!!! In all its glory. You can see my photos. This was a brunch, technically, so breakfast items too. French toast Omelette station Bacon and sausage Ham Pastries Fresh fruit display Smoked fish Turkey in gravy Carving station with prime rib and LAMB. Au jus and mint jelly. Mashed potatoes Stuffing with cranberries Chicken breast with cherry jam compote Cobia with crab Pasta station Charcuterie Cheese display Shrimp, mussels, crawfish under ice sculptures Salad display Dessert tables with chocolate fountain: cheesecake, pecan pie, carrot cake, red velvet, flourless chocolate cake, apple pie, and more. Victorian Santa and elves. No boisterous HoHo Ho. Class and gentility. Lovely music. No harpist this time but music was soft and tasteful. This is how it should be. Thank you for bringing back elegance and excellent food. Hats off to the chefs and staff for bringing this back in grand style. I know it takes a lot of work to make this happen. You all do it the BEST. Thank you, thank you so much for bringing it all back. Merry Christmas
