this review has nothing to do about the venue, but my coordinator Tamara. a month before the wedding she laid on me she couldn't decorate even though in the beginning she promised ...that they could. It was one of the selling points & 3 other people heard her say that multiple times. it sounded like she couldn't do any of it. after a call I found out that typically she has an assistant and that day of my wedding she wouldn't have one which is why i believe that this is why there was a sudden change in mind. she told me that she would find an assistant that it would be okay. That all i needed to do was come to the rehearsal about 12 & build the alter, the day of the wedding have the groom/groomsmen come in to move the alter & that she ONLY needed them to move the boxes of my decorations. I made very easy and broken down instructions, it was organized, i made an index of where everything was, labeled very box & put a list on the outside saying was inside since i made all my decor. we show up at 1230, she forgot that i could come in early. then she is asking me how im going to get my cord and vow books as there is no table at the alter. I had already talked to her about putting a table at the alter over the phone. she forgot about that. then she made a comment of how "we weren't the only wedding that was making her do all this stuff this weekend" which tells me that we were not the only wedding she had promised to decorate for and did the same thing. Remember how she said she'd find an assistant? Nope she didnt have one. On wedding day i find out from my husband/groomsmen she was nowhere to be found for 2 hours. They did nearly all the decorating, including decorating ALL the aisle which she TOLD ME she could do. the audio guest book i had, which had instructions in it, was not turned on. I'm glad i caught it in time. Our cake topper? It had a missing piece. I asked where the frame was for it, she said "Oh i saw that but didnt know what it was for." I had place a picture literally right on top of the cake topper in the box so when she saw it, it would be the first thing she saw. I also emailed her about it. I don't understand why you would see a piece in a box, ignore the photo and just automatically think 'I dont know what this is for so Im just not going to use it'. she continuously rushed my girls and I to hurry only for her to hold off on starting the ceremony because there wasnt enough people there yet. She had moved the chairs from my side to the grooms side WITHOUT asking me or confronting me about it. I DID NOT tell her to do that for a reason! i only had about 30 people, my husband had about 120. so now it was completely uneven which I didn't want. also, we were told our locker rooms were private after 130. THEY WERE NOT. we had people walking in to use the restroom. She constantly forgot my husband and I were eating during cocktail hour alone.I understand that she has a lot of weddings, but these are very big things to forget. I feel like she should have taken better notes.
20 people from my party/family individually complained to me about her. They said she was a mess, all over the place, unorganized & was the cause of their stress on their wedding.. My DJ and photographers carried my wedding.The fact that 20 people complained to me w/o my influence is crazy. If you plan to have your wedding here, do not work with Tarmara. She will stress you out so much and honestly really kind ruined parts of my wedding.
