We ordered shuttle service for my mom from Springfield to the Columbus airport. Initially we…read moreordered a 3:15 am pick up but my mom had to call and check on the driver when they did not arrive on time. We are originally from TN and perhaps there was a time zone adjustment because the driver said she has a 4:15 pick up (despite confirming the day prior). Despite the mix up, the driver/owner arrived and safely delivered my mom to the airport in comfort. My mom said the driver/owner was very friendly and she enjoyed the ride.

Do not hire Samantha for your day of coordination. All it has caused is more stress and chaos…read more We hired her in February for day of coordinator services for our October wedding. Late July she sent an email to her current clients changing her terms. When I asked for clarification on the terms we had agreed to (set up, room flip assistance, tear down), she suggested I hire a decorator for help. Once I told her I was hiring a decorator, as she suggested, she told me in an email and verbally that I didn't need to hire help and that her team could handle it. The morning after we spoke, she broke our contract to terminate services and left us searching for a new coordinator with less than 3 months until the wedding.

This woman deserves NO stars! That should be an option Yelp!…read more One of my very good friends was just married this past weekend and I was so lucky to be by her side as a bridesmaid. Her wedding was absolutely beautiful and it was totally made for her taste. I can only give credit to the bride and all the hard work she put into it. The bride hired Jean as her "wedding planner". When she told me she hired a planner for her big day, I was relieved for her because I always thought not having a planner was my biggest regret for my special day. After this past weekend, I felt that she would have been better off not hiring a planner at all. I was in complete shock when I showed up for hair and makeup the morning of the wedding and learned that the bride and the bridesmaids had to go set everything up for big day. While some of us got our hair done, the other girls busted ass all morning at the venue getting things perfect. Once we were all dolled up, the rest of the bridesmaids came back to get ready while the rest of us were off to the venue to finish up. The bride was still there finishing up and looking exhausted. She was covered in sweat and her feet were dirty with no time to take another shower. Jean was walking around making orders while she was clearly doing nothing. Once the bride finally went upstairs to get ready, she only had a few hours before the ceremony started. Unfortunately the ceremony was outside and the rain was not cooperating. The bride was to make the call an hour prior to the ceremony to decide whether it be outside or moved inside. Instead of the bride being consulted, Jean made the call to have everything moved inside. The bride had to hear about the decision from a bridesmaid. Even though the bride would have made the right call, she was not given the opportunity. There was no direction from the planner and we all felt very rushed throughout the day. After the ceremony, the bride and groom were off to take pictures while the bridal party waited. We assumed the "planner" would direct us when it was our turn to get pictures but no.... I saw nothing but her sitting on a picnic bench shooting the shit with her assistant. Once I confronted the bride, she seemed very stressed about us not being prompted to come for pictures. Once the bridal party started getting photos, Jean pops out of nowhere to tell the photographer that she is taking too long and that people will end up leaving if she doesn't wrap it up. Whaaaa!!!??? I was shocked by the way she communicated with the bridesmaids but with other vendors?? How dare she! She was very rude, very unprofessional and very unorganised. She not one time consulted the bride or talked to her period the whole day. Everything went through someone else. She treated the entire bridal party poorly and basically expected us to do everything the entire day. The bride paid this woman to plan her day with her guidance. This was not the result. The bride should have enjoyed the morning with her girls and had been able to relax knowing that someone else was taking care of everything else. That was not the case at all. I had no wedding planner on my wedding day and I did not lift one finger besides to lift my champagne glass to my mouth!! I am blown away by this woman and the fact that she charges so much for her "services"! The nerve this woman has! I hope that every future bride reads reviews on this woman before you decide to hire her. Don't waste your money!

Jean has gone out of her way to remove my review of her "services" on other forums, but…read moreOh-Happy-Day for YELPS honesty of leaving ALL reviews up. Jen did lots of talking, but little action. She failed to show up for a critical meeting with all important vendors in attendance. She didn't like taking even my smallest direction, even though, obviously I'm paying her for such. My wedding was very simple, but Jean was upset she couldn't run it "her way", which was "industry standard". Things that were written into the contract were disregarded. (ie The aisle runner was suppose to be put down before guests arrived, yet guests told me they sat there and watched her do it. -She later admitted she did do it on purpose!) She didn't care for my African musicality and I tried explaining that my bridesmaids would walk in exactly on beat. She felt they should walk in to some "industry standard", and that SHE would "feel the timing" of the music. Excuse me, but she knows NOTHING about African American musicality and how we have rhythm in our music, its not some "industry standard." My bridesmaids later told me, that when the music started she just stood there, and they had to tell her its time for them to go. She said "ok" and then stared at her watch, so they proceeded on as we had rehearsed without her direction. She then just let the music play without directing the DJ to stop and let the next group walk, so there were long stretches of music and no one walking, just an empty aisle. I gave her an extremely detailed print out, of everything so she wouldn't have to guess, (she claims these were left with another vendor and she didn't get them, which is false, she had them many weeks in advance) but she still wasn't able to follow even the most rudimentary of directions. Jean was paid a handsome sum, in full, many weeks before the wedding. However I got the feeling she wanted us to buy her premium pkg (which offered services we didn't need) and *then she would have given us her full attention. Furthermore, I was very kind to her up until the rehearsal when she just refused to do things that were cultural in nature to me. When I insisted, she made me out to be some bridezilla, which I wasn't, I just wanted my culture represented in my wedding. Thus this review of her on my wedding day of doing nothing. It got so bad, that my caterer stepped in and placed the centerpieces on the reception tables and basically organized the reception venue because she said my wedding planner was nowhere to be found and she felt bad for me. She did this ON TOP of doing her duties as the caterer with a full staff to run and a head chef that came in for the event. That, is the level of professionalism I had expected from Jean, but did not receive. Its unfortunate that she opted to wait until my special day to pull such tactics. It shows a level of professionalism that is remedial at best. I cannot recommend.
