![Natasha]()
Natasha Sent on 05/29/2015Carmella is likable but inexperienced. At the church ceremony, she had me waiting for her ten minutes behind a closed door in the adjacent building. The groom and guests were starting to wonder if I got cold feet which was rather troubling. At the reception, she neglected to announce to the guests that the foyer doors were open for cocktail hour so they were waiting outside for a few minutes. During the reception, I had asked her to make the cake cutting and sparkler exit announcement since some of the guests were starting to leave. She only announced the cake cutting part. There were a couple of minor issues such as not "finding" two guest names on the list. They were both on the list which she received a few days before the wedding as well as on the large, framed seating chart located in the foyer. She also had to ask for help identifying the female guests for the special Mother's Day gift I had for them. On the other hand, she did meet me at the church and the reception venue several weeks before my wedding and was quick to respond to messages. The overall consensus amongst the bridal party and guests is that she lacks experience.Creative Event Planning By Carmella's reply:
Natasha I was very surprised to read the review that you wrote . I am sorry to hear you were not happy with my services.
As far as your first issue with keeping you waiting 10 minutes .You we're on the other side of the building with your dad . The only way we could have corrected that was to have you standing outside the church doors in the heat which would have destroyed your hair .( It was 5 minutes )
As far as announcing to the guest that the doors were open to the reception I announced it and went around to people that we're still talking in the cocktail area and asked them to please take a seat because when people are talking they ignore the announcement .
I did make the announcement of what time the cake cutting would be. I shared my concern that people we're leaving and that you would probably have a small amount to do the sparkler exit. Your guest commented that their was no DJ or band to dance to only the string quartet that is why they we're leaving
As far as the names on the list your pastor came to me and said his name was not on the list I search with him and could not find it then his wife found it she said you had his full name spelled out that is why he couldn't find it.
Yes I did ask for help on the mothers day gift I asked your maid of honor which is standard practice to go to someone close to you. You had some names that could be used for a female or male names and i did not want anyone to be embarrassed when they saw a flower at their place setting . Yes I did have the list but some names we're difficult to distinguish.
I take a lot of pride in what I do and have done this for many years and have hundreds of beautiful cards and letters acknowledging the great job I've done . I am sorry yours was not one of them.
