mia Wedding Planner🕵

Is there a chance that she was scamming you? At this point I’d be worried that she’s taking your money and running. When was the last time you heard from her?

Has she done anything to help you plan your wedding? If not, I'd be taking her to small claims court for every dime I paid.

This is a problem I've seen before. Someone claims to be a "wedding planner" and takes a bunch of money, but does nothing, and effectively "ghosts" the couple. It's a freaking scam!

I would not make that last payment until you have talked to her.

View Quoted Comment Zero nothing on the whole helping me plan or even asking me how things r going. I sent her a photo from Sunday letting her know I found a dress got nothing back. I asked her questions and get silence. I mean as her client you would think she'd check in with me and see how my planning is going.

I've seeked out the vendors and met with them and you'd think as my planner she would go with me to these meetings and etc but nothing. I have researched vendors n set up appts and it's like I'm paying someone to help me plan but she's just sittjng back and collecting $$.

It's one thing people get busy but when your client that's forking out money for you to do your job I expect you to do that not ignoring me and thinking I'm being scammed or something. I'm like hello?? Anyone home😫😔🤷

Ok, wow. I want her job. Get paid to sit around and do nothing!!

I would absolutely STOP paying her immediately. As for what you've paid her already, you can either write it off as "lesson learned" or you can take her to small claims court. She won't be able to produce any evidence that she earned her fee, because SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!

I'm so sorry this has happened to you! Planning a wedding is stressful enough without these scammers out there taking our hard-earned money!

Yes, she should have done/been doing all of those things and more! She's not a planner. She's a fake and a liar. Ditch her. You'll feel so much better once you do!

P.S. I bet you'll get a call back when she doesn't get her last payment! lol

It sounds like a scam. How much was her service? I had a full service planner and hired her about 11 months out. I paid 50% down to secure her services and then paid another 25% 60 days before the wedding and the rest a couple weeks before the wedding. She was also very clear in her contract what was her responsibility and what was mine. I wouldn’t trust anyone that would take almost the entire fee so far out from the wedding.

I’m the type of person to try and give the benefit of doubt most of the time but this is ridiculous. I could see if she was busy or whatever but her removing you from fb? something fishy is going down. i would stop giving her payment and look into someone else and you can even outwardly tell her you’re no longer interested in her services due to how her communication or lack there of and actions have made you feel too uncomfortable to trust you with your wedding. hope this helps. sorry girl. wedding vendors can be the worst or the best!

View Quoted Comment I don't think she scam me I just don't think she's very professional when it comes to her client's and communicating with them.

There are a few terrible wedding planners in my area that set you up and take your deposit and ghost you! (Thank goodness I saw honest reviews!) They technically are "legitimate" but they only stick around for the big-budget weddings...

I would call and leave her a voicemail saying that if she does not contact you within the next week that you will be taking her to a small claims court and/or breaking the contract and demanding a full refund on what you've paid her so far. It sounds like it was a scam and you'll likely know if it was based on their excuse for going MIA. If it involves a death, injury, or anything like that, it's a scam because my sister's wedding planner had her father pass about 1 month before my sister's wedding and she immediately called my sister and said "I am obviously here for you if you need me and I'll definitely be there on your big day, but my father recently passed and I will be out of town for about 2 weeks." They will also reach out to you if something has happened in their life that might hinder their help to you so if yours hasn't done that, I'd say it's likely a scam.

She reached out to me today and said she was sorry she hasn't responded back to me that she got married then had her honeymoon and just moved into a new home. So it's understandable she was busy but still she could've replied to me letting me know that or taking two minutes to get back to me and answer my questions

I'm about to just cut my losses and not even pay her the last of my balance which is $400 and tell her ✌.
