We do not even know where to start because words cannot express my gratitude towards Courtney and her staff. My husband and I were scheduled to get married in Turks and Caicos on October 28, 2017. It was a wedding we planned since May 2016. However, all that changed with a simple email on September 20, 2017 when we were notified by the resort that they would be closed until December 2017. After the shock wore off, we picked ourselves up and were determined to replan our wedding in a short period. The first few days were overwhelming. The task seemed impossible, but we just failed to realize that we just couldn’t do it ourselves. It wasn’t long before we were introduced to Courtney and the staff at Small Market Events by our caterer. Courtney sent us the most beautiful, reassuring email I had ever received. Her email gave us hope that we can do this. She took the stress off our shoulders and made us confident that we could still get married in such a short period. Courtney was great at answering all our questions and being available at all hours.Courtney is well connected, helping us find the missing pieces to our puzzle. The day of the wedding, Courtney and staff were the day-of coordinators as well, taking care of EVERYTHING. We are still hearing how beautiful the wedding was, and it was in huge part to Courtney and her staff. We cannot say enough about the work she did in such a short period.

If I could give Courtney of Small Events 0 stars, I would. Late to every meeting, we assumed she would at least do what she was contracted to do on the actual wedding day.
Instead, we had to hold the ceremony 20 minutes while we waited on the bouquets and boutineers to be delivered. She was over FOUR hours late to decorate the reception venue, after having made special arrangements to arrive earlier than what the agreement with the venue had originally allowed.

There was NO floral for cocktail hour.

Not one design element was executed as she had planned with the bride. In fact, they weren’t even attempted because guests were arriving as her poor team was still scrambling to make things look slightly decent.

Instead of any apologies or productive solutions, she had a plethora of excuses and a complete disregard for the stress she put the bride through. No bride should be crying as they are waiting at the aisle for flowers.

We cannot stress enough what a disappointment she was. She did not do anything as she said she would.

Complete breach of contract.

Do not hire.
