First, I'm really disappointed to be writing this..but I wanted other brides to know about this experience.
With a Aug 2014 wedding coming up I contacted Jen well in advance to secure her services, because she's obviously a board fave, and has tons of experience at our venue. The first time I contacted her was in July via email, in which I immediately received an email back that detailed her services and stating that she was available for my wedding date. I responded same day inquiring when we could meet to discuss services and sign a contract. I received no response for weeks.
After emailing her back (3 times) I finally reached out to her through fb message. She apologized and informed me she was having issues with her email, and that she was currently busy but would be available in September to meet up. I didn't think anything of it, everyone has technical issues sometimes. So in September I reached out to her but she was busy.
I finally reached out again via FB in October & November but this time no response. I left 4 more messages via FB message and STILL no response. I even emailed her twice and found a number on Weddingwire and left a VM. NO RESPONSE.
I was really taken aback by her lack of communication, especially since she has rave reviews on every wedding website I've checked, that is why I gave her the benefit of the doubt for SO LONG.
I had contacted maybe a dozen other DOC's in July for my wedding and turned them all down. I now have to start the search all over again and I'm sure most of them will not be available for my long holiday weekend date. I think that is what is most upsetting. Her lack of communication has possibly prevented me from getting a great DOC that would have been available if I had not waited around for her to respond.
SOOO, with that being said lol, does anyone recommend their DOC? I'm obviously desperate here haha.
