Didn’t turn up on the day
I never imagined I’d be writing this, after carefully reading reviews but it happened without any prior warning Amanda did not turn up on our wedding day.
I’m not a bitter bride that messed up and I’m shifting blame, I’m gutted and emotionally drained from still no real honesty from Amanda as to where it all went wrong.
We had an initial meeting, discussed ideas, agreed the quote, paid the deposit, updated with bridesmaid dresses colours & tie patterns, paid our final invoice clearly referenced with both our names and the date of our wedding (no outstanding payments at all).
On the wedding day she didn’t show up, predominately ignored phone calls but the venue managed to get hold of her - then the lies started. “They haven’t paid” “I haven’t heard from them since May” “it’s to do with paperwork” the venue and our suppliers had all been given different reasons. Knowing the people working with us on our wedding day had been told false information rather than Amanda being honest is so upsetting.
Comments are being deleted, and I’m sure reviews will be too - I don’t want to ruin someone’s hard earned business but I’m struggling to see where it went wrong.
You can’t miss a final payment with a clear reference entering your bank account -
Even if you did there are processes to follow. Suppliers are all finding this unbelievable- without honesty and still seeing you say “wish you had contacted me” is what’s so hurtful -how does another couple know this won’t happen to them? There is so much I could say but I’m exhausted from being in this position - I don’t want to be unkind and I don’t want another couple experiencing what we did.
This wasn’t a booking made years ago - we booked with around 6months to go until our wedding.
