Designed by Grace worked diligently to provide the invitation suite and programs of my dreams! Worked quickly and patiently - even with the teeniest of edits :)

Definitely plan to use for all of my future invitations and announcements!

Would hire again in a heartbeat!

On the up side, Everything Bella assisted with contacting the pesky non-RSVPers, was punctual, and an overall pleasure to meet/work with. There were times where I, as the bride, mentioned things and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were executed.

On the down side, I was not pleased to know several things. For example, my deceased mother was called during rehearsal SEVERAL times despite prior conversations I had with my coordinator. Once the oversight was pointed out by the bridal party, the coordinator simply "laughed it off." UNACCEPTABLE. Also, as a bride, I do not expect to be asked whether or not my coordinator should (A)come to rehearsal or (B) adjust the temperature at the venue if the guests are uncomfortable. I also do not expect to view pictures and see any staff of Everything Bella (or any coordinator) be treated nor acting as guests. Lastly, follow-up communication was non-existent and somewhat abrupt/rude on the part of Everything Bella. I would not hire again.

On the contrary, I told you (about my Mother) during our conversations prior to us meeting. Also, my bridesmaids told you AT LEAST three times during rehearsal.

I hope that you were able to gain the insight and experience you were seeking. I also sincerely hope that mine was an isolated experience.

I do realize that you did not charge for my event; I hope you realize that you also stood to gain from doing so.

At the end of the day, I wish you nothing but success and prosperity in your future business endeavors.

Being that I tried to communicate with you prior to writing my review, I see no need for further communication.

Best Regards,
Johnetta

Funny thing is you say I was rude when I was nothing but nice to you. Just so you know the rule is anything I take with my camera I own and I can use, being a professional I took the pictures down as you asked (even thought I didnt have to)

As for your wedding pictures you say you never had or saw them but its funny I was on your photogs site and saw all 700 and something pictures she took.

But like a professional I just left it alone and moved on with other ventures. Thats fine you feel the way you do (to each its own), I feel I went beyond and above my duty when it came to your wedding. I did things that were not required of me but hmmm I did not see of theses things in your so called review.

Your wedding was a learned lesson for sure. Like I said the first time thank you for the experience.

Good Day...

Stylist travelled an hour and a half to make sure I was flawless on our wedding day! Timely, professional, would DEFINITELY hire again!

Would DEFINITELY hire again! If every vendor were as professional and easy to work with as Adam, I would plan a wedding EVERY YEAR!

The staff Event Coordinator is fabulous! Venue is reasonably priced and will work to ensure your day is perfect! Would book again.

Would not hire again. Caterer was late and unprofessional. On the front end, she was helpful in organizing and making promises that seemed nice. On the back end, no follow through. To be specific in naming some of the mishaps:

1. Late arrival
2. Contract menu unfulfilled
3. Garbage disposed of inappropriately (this almost cost our venue deposit)
4. Bridal party was not served as per contract
5. Unprofessional staff, ie making out in the kitchen

Very affordable. Timely, professional, and knows how to PAR-TAY! As with any vendor, be sure to communicate clearly, and especially leave time to follow up with this vendor. Communication may be strained, but also leave room for DJ Eazy to do what he does best! Would hire again.

Beautiful flowers. Cost effective. Communication better face to face instead of over the phone. Would hire again.
