Horrible, she steals your money!!

I was fooled by the good reviews! Do not hire this woman for your wedding. It will be a disaster.

We asked for a 30 x 40 tent 6 months prior to our wedding. Then the week of the wedding she made multiple excuses as to why the tent was not there when it was suppose to be (the week of a hurricane) Then the tent shows up and it’s half the size of what we ordered. She rambled on and on with so many different excuses as to why it was smaller. The tent didn’t even fit all of our guests. We then had to spend another $500 at Home Depot on tarps to cover the yard. We asked for a refund for the tent and she refused.

We also received the photos from our photographer, and we were very upset to see the table photos of before the ceremony started. Messy and wrinkled table cloths and table decor not finished. I asked the photographer when he took those photos and he said it was as guests were already arriving, which was about 20 minutes before the ceremony.

She also never set up our Photo Booth! It was all still folded up sitting against a tree!

We also rented bathrooms through her and were quoted $650. Then the day before the wedding the price went up to $1600. She kept saying this was a mistake and that we would be refunded the difference, but that has still not happened.

I will say that the pre wedding work was so organized and detailed. She had so much confidence and I had not reason to think she was not capable of execution. This was a DIY wedding and she would give me my to do lists and keep me on track. She had her job list and I had mine. She assured me that her and her staff would handle her list. Then when the wedding was done and I approached her about these things, she blamed me for everything not being done 😂

Run Run Don't Hire!

Veronica completely ruin my Wedding day. She is a scam artist, unprofessional, liar, and can't decorate or coordinate to save her life. I will be speaking legal and all matters possible against her. 5 months from my wedding she got in her feeling due to her not remembering conversations between us, I had 4 witness yet she is the only one that can't remember her notes or her words she sent me a nasty text wanting to quit. I should have let her walk and sued her then,, but my cousin spoke to her, and she stayed. Fast-forward she tells me she is pregnant, and her due date is my wedding day I asked her what's the plan she claimed she would include a step in throughout the process never heard or spoke to this person until the day of my wedding. Mind you, she had no clue about the detail discussed. My wedding was ran like a circus. Veronica kept wanting to change my ideas to later steal and pocket the money. When I tell you I can write a book on this lady, I swear. Long story short she came late to set up tried to change the time-line at the last minute to accommodate her tired laziness she didn't decorate correctly nor gave me all the decorations I paid for, her husband set up a tip jar behind my back making it seem like it was for us, her hired vendors stole my alcohol and gifts and didn't clean up my wedding party and family clean for hours. DON'T HIRE HER SHE WILL LIE AND STEAL FROM YOU. Picture of the horrible image that she came to my wedding dress also this was a formal event.
