I'm going to repost this for a fellow knottie, it has some things that are debatable for sure, but what came after she posted was unheard of for a professional business.The co-owner Cecy Tabibian came on and posted 4 times, personal emails she received from the original OP, which included full name, phone numbers, work address email address etc. I've reported it, so hopefully it will be taken down, but I am infuriated for the OP that a "professional business" would even think to do this.
The OP has since been bullied into deleting her OP, but I will NOT.

"If you value your money and your wedding do not use these people. First of all they LIE, second of all they don't perform like they say they will and third of all - they are rude to your guests.
I hired them for $1000 for "day of" wedding planning services (which from what I researched from other vendors included being involved from 2 weeks in advance on an intimate level and making sure your vision becomes actualized). These people were extremely difficult to get a hold of, acted like they were doing ME a favor by working for me and introduced me to vendors that were straight crooks.
First, they promised me a Bentley limo - for $450 (I asked if this included gratuity and they said no) the Chrysler 300 (yes – Chrysler – which I was supposed to believe looked like a Bentley ) showed up at my door. Maybe in the village they are from – 300s and Bentleys are the same – but this is LA and I am not a villager. I had even ASKED them because I found a Hummer for $350 if they could cancel it and let me use the new vendor – they said that they would take care of me.
On the day of – the limo shows up 2 hours late and then the planner yells at my fiancé saying HE was supposed to make sure the limo was arriving on time. Really? Have you ever heard of a customer having to remind a vendor to be on time? The 300 was sent back and an Escalade was sent. The Escalade smelled like urine, had used and half empty soda cans and water bottles in it, no A/C and a broken LCD – and was disgusting. Seriously?
Let’s say this wasn’t the planners’ fault. Let’s give em a little credit and say it was beyond their control – did they do anything about it, NO! They even had the nerve to act annoyed at us ON OUR WEDDING DAY! They ruined everything… literally. They were rude to my vendors, my guests and most importantly my fiancé. They lied about what they were going to deliver and had no shame in leaving my wedding early without even sticking to the timeline THEY created.
Simply horrible and I hope NO ONE ever uses them again. These people generated a timeline they didn’t stick to, plans they didn’t keep and promised us services they could not deliver. To make matters worse, we didn’t get our speeches, a toast and we even had the bride’s shoes stolen from right under the planners’ noses. Don’t hire these people if you value your memories.
