Great staff to work with....just straight up good food...will use Anointed HH for every event I have❤❤

We love Anointed Hearts and Hands we use them for our events and won't use anyone else

I met with Anointed Hands (LaTricia, her mother, and small staff of kids/young adults) on May 10th, 2019, to do a tasting for my wedding. They presented well and appeared to be a small black owned business (I have no insight into their ownership structure so this I can’t confirm) so I eagerly wanted to support them. Things took a drastic turn in February of 2020, one month before my scheduled wedding on March 21st, 2020, when many of their contractual commitments floundered.

Firstly, my wedding venue went bankrupt so I called LaTricia on February 13th, 2020 (I had notified her 3 days in advance as soon as I found out) to discuss cancellation since contractually the venue she agreed to serve at was no longer in existence. She notified me on February 13th, 2020, that she had already bought beef so she would be retaining $2,300+. My first thought was why are you buying beef weeks in advance of a wedding since meat doesn’t last that long?

Secondly, I was clear at the onset that I wanted real China/silverware and they contractually agreed to provide that to us. However, on February 10th, 2020, LaTricia called me to state that she was able to find plates but was having challenges finding real silverware so she wanted to know if she could skip providing it. Why is that a question one month before my wedding when you contractually committed to provide it and I paid for it?

The most alarming part of this was her lack of business strategy and customer service skills. We had contracted her to do our rehearsal dinner on March 20th, 2020, (an $1,800 affair) and we had found a new venue that accommodated her (in spite of my two failed attempts that week to get her to furnish evidence of insurance) and we agreed to pay a $300 fee to a new venue yet she stated she didn’t care because she was holding on $2,300+ from my wedding. Moreover, she stated that she needs 5 business days to issue a partial refund in the amount of $999 for our rehearsal dinner (what reputable business doesn’t have $999?!).

The final straw was when I told her that my fiancé and I both work for major corporations and had planned to refer her for future business but needed her to work with us through our wedding venue bankruptcy and she again stated she didn’t care and would be retaining the money.

This woman (LaTricia seems to poorly lead the business strategy) and business have a lack of integrity and questionable practices as evidenced by my aforementioned examples. Be careful!
