Awful. Terrible. Traumatized and FULL of regrets. I had to mark at least one star to have this post, but I give MINUS 10 STARS! Do the extra work and find a proper service. I was screwed at every turn. I have waited two years to post this review as I find myself reverting to nasty descriptions of the people I worked with. Amateur artists and professional liars. The photographer was terrible. I have more pictures of some random kid than I do of me or the wedding party. She didn't pose us, she didn't fix wardrobe issues or get creative in any way. I could have hired my 12 year old niece to take photos and it would have been better. We had to edit, tint, alter, fix, clip and cut our own photos. They offered a "free" album with our purchase that we never received. I went rounds for months trying to get the album the way it was promised to be. My husband spent hours editing the terrible photos and we only had maybe 10 good photos to work with. The rest of the promised 700 prints were duplicates or worthless because everyone was doing something stupid. We ended up making our own album.
The DJ did not do what was asked. She was to check with both the bride and groom to approve songs not on the list. She started playing requests from guests. She was also responsible for the lighting and it was terrible. She's not a lighting professional, she's not a professional anything. There were overlaps and extended parts to our ceremony pieces, nothing started on time and was played past when it was supposed to stop. She didn't chat with the venue about what music should stop when others started etc. I had two songs going while I walked down the aisle.
The florist was also awful. The flowers were brown around the edges and the hosta leaves were torn and mangled. My bouquet fell apart and I was covered with silver paint from the holder. Paint on my hands, face, dress, and other people who had to hold the stupid thing. I had to redo all of my make up because there was silver paint on everything!!!! I was consequently late for photos. I threw it away before the ceremony even started. I borrowed from a vase on my reception table and a ribbon from my nieces hair. Vases I bought and she did not fill were everywhere... we did all the arrangements ourselves. I think she dropped stuff off the night before and the venue wasn't helpful.
I can't warn anyone enough. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! You get one shot at your wedding day. Don't cut this corner, you can't get it back. Spend the extra time and money on a professional for at least photos! Get your flowers from global rose and hire a lighting company. In fact, hire people who do one thing and do it right.
