⭐️ hen do chaos
⭐️
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend Mojito Events based on my experience organising my hen weekend.
I originally booked through Mojito because I wanted the convenience of having everything organised for me and to take some of the stress out of planning my own hen do. Unfortunately, it ended up being the complete opposite.
Our weekend was booked months in advance, yet just 10 days before we were due to travel, I was informed that two of the activities I had agreed to back in May could no longer be provided. At that point, with five people having arranged time off work and the weekend being so close, cancelling simply wasn’t a realistic option.
What frustrated me most was that I ended up doing more research into the activities and suppliers than the company I had paid to organise the weekend. I even had to take emergency annual leave from work to sort everything out because of how close we were to travelling.
Initially, despite paying around £1,820, the refund being discussed was only around £500, which added even more stress to an already disappointing situation.
I do want to give credit where it’s due: once the situation was escalated, Jo, the Managing Director, contacted me personally, acknowledged that Mojito had let us down and apologised. We ultimately reached a resolution regarding the refund, which I appreciated.
However, by that point my Maid of Honour and I had essentially taken over the organisation ourselves.
And here’s the ironic part — we had an absolutely incredible hen weekend! 😂❤️
Panorama Cottages and Richard were fantastic, and once we organised the rest of the itinerary ourselves, everything came together brilliantly. We had such a good time and made memories I’ll genuinely treasure forever.
But unfortunately, I can’t credit Mojito for that.
I booked an events company specifically so that I wouldn’t have to organise and troubleshoot my own hen weekend at the last minute. Instead, the week before my hen I was stressed, chasing information, researching alternatives and rearranging plans myself.
The fact that we managed to turn it around and have such an amazing weekend almost makes the situation more frustrating, because it proved that the weekend we wanted was absolutely achievable when it was properly organised.
I’m glad Mojito eventually acknowledged the problems and resolved the financial side of things, but based on my experience, I personally wouldn’t book through them again.
The hen weekend: 10/10. 🥂
The experience of getting there: a completely different story. 👀
