Alyssa is the most amazing coordinator you could ask for. We had an off-beat wedding where almost everything was DIY (except for the food). We had two ceremonies the same day, and our venue was a working farm where we even had to bring in our own toilets. Alyssa did an amazing job from beginning to the end. As the bride, I never had to worry about ANYTHING and I'm sure at some point some things probably went wrong...I just never heard about it, because whatever it was, Alyssa handled it beautifully before anybody knew :-)

I was really hesitant to hire a coordinator, as I used to work in event planning and thought I could just get a friend to do the job. I'm SO GLAD I hired Alyssa...without her, our wedding would have been a much more stressful experience.

And, as another note of endorsement, my mother said Alyssa was the best money we spent on our entire wedding. Seriously, hire her now, and you'll be so, so happy. Our wedding was the best day of my life, and Alyssa had a huge role in making that possible.

We hired Alyssa of Rose Gold Events about 1 year in advance for month-of coordination for our June 2016 wedding. She came highly recommended and so we didn't think twice about hiring her. She seemed capable, and on the same page as us regarding the vision for our wedding.

Come January 2016 and she completely stopped answering our emails and phone calls. We had to hire another coordinator just a couple months out from our wedding.

It's now almost July and after continued emails and phone calls, she still has not answered a single one, and definitely not refunded the initial retainer fee of over $700.

This is her first year taking a full load of clients, and my guess is that she over-booked herself, which I can understand. But not even acknowledging that she did literally zero work for us, not answering a single phone call or email with an "I'm so sorry, here's your deposit back" is completely unprofessional, unacceptable. Too bad you can't give negative stars.
