I met with and hired Allison who seemed to be very nice and well organized only for "day of" services for the date of my wedding. I did all planning and organization for the entire day myself and Allison's job was to make sure things ran smoothly for rehearsal and the day of the wedding and reception. It was not until the week of my wedding that I started to feel that Allison's attitude was less than positive.
She was supposed to attend my final walk through with the staff of the wedding venue with me the week of but due to a car accident she could not make it at the last minute. I understand things like this happen and it was not a big deal. The day of my rehearsal, she showed up immediately complaining about how hot it was and shouting orders and questions to my family and friends. She also acted annoyed that the manager of the wedding venue did not have time to meet with her since she did not show up to the final walk through with me due to her accident. She also approached my photographer who was present and barraged him about why he had not called her back the previous day. I was floored by this as he happened to be one of my closest friends.
The day of my wedding numerous things went wrong with seating arrangements and chair setup, but I did a lot of running around up and down stairs while I supposed to be sitting getting my hair and makeup done because things were not being done as they should or others were not able to make the decisions that needed to be made. When my cake arrived it was in very poor shape and had melted. I tried to keep a positive attitude because what can really be done at that point to fix it anyway? Mean while Allison made comments to me such as "that's why I told you not to hire a friend to do your cake". What exactly does a comment like that do for someone who is standing in their wedding dress waiting to get married?
Overall Allison was very negative, did a lot of sitting around looking irritated and was blatantly rude to many of my vendors and family and friends.
I must say however, that her assistant, Melissa, was wonderful, pleasant, caring and kind. On numerous occasions during and after the ceremony she told me how beautiful I looked and seems to really mean it. She was also constantly asking me how I was doing and was just a very kind person over all.
I would not recommend Allison or use her again. I would recommend Melissa and use her again.

Polk Dot Wedding & Event Planning was extremely helpful in making our special day successful. Allison helped to make the vision I had for my wedding come to life. She made sure that the wedding day was relaxing and stress free for me and my mom so we could just sit back and enjoy the day. Thank you again for everything.

Allison is so sweet and very down to earth. She was always available to me, to answer any questions. She gave excellent advice and made my wedding day very relaxing. She went out of her way to do little extras and my wedding was beautiful! I would refer her to anyone.
