Vendor Review

Rusty Pelican: A-/B+ I say this because they fired my contact a week and half before the wedding and NO ever contacted me. This upsets me because I was sending email after email and never got answer because she didn’t work for them. I had to fight them to get a nice screen for my slide show. The first one had holes and was held up by 2 knives.  The person who took over for Gina was nice at times and rude at other.  The food was GREAT and the view was better. I will go more into detail if you want just email me.   One of Kind Event: A+++ Vanessa was my life saver. Any question I had I called, txt, and/or email and she answered them. She always was asking how I am doing and if I need anything. She set up the room sooooooo pretty. Everything went perfect. I do not think it could have gone better. If I was having trouble with a vendor she fit it for me. I knew everyone was there and I knew we had a backup plan if need be. She was worth the money. My father who doesn’t like spending money when he doesn’t need to said that the best spent money! Alina M Photography: A I love her! Her work is awesome. The only thing that bugs me about her is that she runs late or has too many apt and so her apt are running behind. That’s my only thing about her. Everything else is PERFECT! Also, she takes a little bit of time to get things done. But I am willing to pay the price since I love her work so much. Artistic Film: A+++++++++++++ Just look at the highlight video. That’s all you need to see why I love what they do! Work very well with you! I would hire them again any day of the week. Liquid DJ/Shannon: A+++ Kept the party going all night long and gave great service. Very fun and he listen to Kenny and I and did what we asked! He did our up-lighting also and it turned out wonderful Natinel Flower Design: A+ for the flowers/ D for communication She upset me because I didn’t hear anything from her for 4 or 5 months. I would send emails/ call and nothing. I almost fired her because she didn’t get me a sample until I started going off on her. It was three weeks after her deadline. So, that is why it upset me. However, the flowers the day of came out more then I hope for. She threw in something to make me happy and it worked but the communication still bugs me a lot. Elegant Temptations: A The cake was very yummy. I didn’t pay for the cake so I didn’t have much communication with them. All I can say is the cake was yummy and they didn’t mind I changed my mind 10 times! Leyani: A The tables came out AWESOME! And they also didn’t mind my number changing. I think I was changing it up to the Friday before. Email me if you have any questions at KellyJSmith20@yahoo.com

    I'm glad it all turned out great! I'm a rusty pelican bride & I got a letter stating that Edward (my contact) isn't going to be there any more..I am SO upset as now I don't know who I'll be dealing with. I'm going to request to deal with Kim the director.

    Make-up was done by Marz (http://www.makeupbymarz.com/index2.php) and my hair was done by Nichole, Marz was the one who told me about her and she is AWESOME. Let me know if you want there numbers.You do NOT want to work with Kim. She isnt the nices person.I know she is in charge however, I dont think she likes working there. She is super nice to your face but not over the phone. but that could just how I feel. I mean, the Friday before my wedding I wrote her not such a nice email. Becuase I felt like I was getting the run around. I can share the email if you would like.
