Elegant Events

I decided to go with Michelle because she seemed very forward and honest, and I liked that about her. She had a lot of experience, but unfortunately, I was never able to experience that. We had a few conference calls to make sure I was on track and that everything was in place with the vendors and wedding day, but the real test came when it was the day of the rehearsal.
When she introduced herself, she let everyone know that if they had any questions, to ask them at the end so that we could get through everything quicker. I’m all for that, but how about pause a few times in case anyone does have a question. The rehearsal should start with how the wedding day is going to pan out. From beginning to end. She wanted to start with the end then move to the beginning then move back to the end. Then when all of the bridal party were walking down the aisle, they went one by one, when I had discussed with her several times that they would be ushered down as I wanted them to have some stability going down on the grass in heels.
The week of the wedding, my vendors were in constant contact with me, rather than Michelle because they were confused as to what was supposed to happen. They were also in contact with me to see if I needed any help or just to see how I was doing. I never even received ONE call from Michelle.
So on the wedding day, the processional order went wrong. She had no idea what she was doing. My other wedding vendors had to fill her void and all of my family and friends commented on how horrible her demeanor was, how unprofessional and inconsiderate she was.
I liked her when I interviewed her, but she was also on the less expensive side compared to the other wedding planners. Like my mom always says, you get what you pay for. I would’ve rather not had a wedding planner at all than to have hired her.
