NOT WORTH IT!!!

by Krebsie06

I was so excited to meet with this business to discuss our wedding. We went into the meeting feeling like we were on top of the world. Everything was going great until we told him our budget. (which was far from small) From that point on we were treated like second class citizens. He had the audacity to tell me that we could go out in the field and cut our own flowers the day before... I left crying. I am not happy with the service and would not recommend this for ANY bride. The business does have everything in order and the previous events look amazing, don't get me wrong. I just don't think anyone should have to feel that way, especially a bride about her big day.

I was later warned that NO planner should ever asked for an exact price for their services, it should be a percent of the budget. Considering the fact that they are getting paid the same for a $10,000 and $30,000 wedding!!

• Pros: Great Pictures
• Cons: I shouldn't leave crying!!!

Worth a laugh, so book a consult for entertainment purposes only!

First of all a wedding is about publicly and legally declaring your intentions to love and respect your partner forever, it's not about showing off to your guests how fabulous you are and how much money you have. It's also Portland Oregon, not the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in London England, which is what this guy thinks he is an event planner for. With that said I will highlight my experience with this vendor in one word: TACKY! He ran through pictures of each of the weddings he had done in his show room and told me how much the total bill was of each event trying to get a "feeling" of what kind of wedding I wanted. I had the budget to book this guy and because he was so inappropriate in our first meeting, I took my business to Bridal Bliss, they are so much more professional, gracious, and classy. Do not be fooled by this guy's website, it is impressive...he is not! Good luck surviving the economic downturn with what you are charging people who can get way better service elsewhere. PS...His chair rentals (among other things) are $2.00 more per chair. Shop around, this guy is a serious joke! Everything he has is overpriced...I had the most beautiful wedding ever, and was able to spend the $ we had put away for a planner, on an amazing planner, AND a honeymoon at The Four Seasons Maui.

• Pros: Worth a Laugh
• Cons: Price, lack of class
