Lina provides a Beautiful Candy Buffet with minimal instructions and exceptional personalization capturing any theme. We have hired her for 1 baby shower and 2 birthday events and will continue to call her for any and all of our event planning needs! She is always available, friendly and excited to be a part of our celebrations.

I personally always dreaded planning parties. Thanks to Lina this was the first event that i truly took joy in all the preparation and planning.
Lina is very professional, she made planning my daughter's graduation party fun and exciting, the results went way beyond my expectations. Mariah (my daughter) will always remember that day forever, and i will always remember it too as a positive experience all around.
Thanks Lina

Please Read Before Booking

I am sharing our experience to help future couples avoid the stress and disappointment we went through.

We hired Lina in July for our November wedding. We knew the timeline was tight, but she confidently reassured us that she could handle everything and that we would begin right away. We paid her 50% deposit, and shortly after she requested the remaining 50%, stating that her policy requires full payment 120 days before the wedding. Believing vendors needed to be booked immediately, we paid her in full.

As soon as she was fully paid, communication declined drastically. She promised weekly meetings, but from July until now, we only had 2 in-person meetings and 3 phone calls total. Texts were barely answered.

During a venue walkthrough, I asked for additional draping and décor not included in her package. She later told me the draping vendor had responded, the price was good, and we needed to book right away because other inquiries had come in for our date. She texted me again pushing for an answer. I asked for more details — examples of work, Instagram — which she sent, but I needed some time to discuss with my fiancé because it was a few thousand dollars.

Shortly after, she texted saying she already paid the vendor because she “was in the area,” and told me to Zelle her immediately. We had not formally approved it, but we trusted her and sent the money.

The week before my wedding, we were scheduled to meet at the venue for a final layout. Two hours before, she canceled, saying she was in the hospital. We were sympathetic — truly — and worried for her, but also panicked because nothing was finalized except table décor. She said she would update me later that day; she didn’t.

I texted Friday — no response.
I texted Saturday — no response, until I explained I was stressed with my wedding one week away. She replied briefly, saying her team would handle everything if I emailed them. I emailed the full list the same day.

I have not heard from her since.
No text, no call, no email.

Since she wasn’t responding, I contacted the draping vendor directly — the one she said she booked and paid. Thankfully, the vendor answered and confirmed she had NOTHING scheduled for our date. Lina had only asked for a quote and never booked or paid anything.

Meanwhile, while I was reaching out desperately about my wedding week-of, she continued posting Black Friday sales and promotions for new clients on Instagram. Seeing her advertise for new business while ignoring the clients she already has — especially one getting married in days — was extremely frustrating and unprofessional.

We have spoken to other past clients who shared similar experiences: communication stops and is followed by a medical emergency, illness in the family, or sudden crisis. Reviews online show the same pattern. While we are truly sympathetic to anyone facing health issues, it is concerning that this explanation appears repeatedly when responsibilities or deadlines come up.

We also notified our vendors, and several of them — who happen to share mutual contacts with her — confirmed they have heard similar concerns and are willing to speak up. But at the end of the day, we are not trying to harm her — we simply want our money back.

However, if she continues to keep over $20,000 of our wedding funds and refuses to respond, we will have no choice but to take the appropriate steps to recover our loss.

DO NOT BOOK WITH HER.

Please save yourself from the financial loss, emotional stress, and heartbreak that we experienced.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
