ADDITIONALLY: - Tali conspired with her "recommended" photographer @betsi-ewing to withhold photos of details that she and/or her "team" (of unpaid helpers) were not directly involved with. We have not seen these photos to date. This is an honest and partial list.

Brides BEWARE!! If you want a planner who is willing to…read moreleave you in the middle of your wedding reception; lie to you about having previous experience at your venue; kindly offer you resources that she doesn't have, finally admitting 1 week before your wedding that she doesn't possess them (requiring you to scramble for an alternative at the last minute); then TALI Rivlin Ron with PRETTY LIL DETAILS is Your Girl! Now I'll admit that statement is rather harsh.  And I am the first to confess that no one is perfect (myself included) . We all make mistakes, come up short or fall through from time to time. Unfortunately as for our experience with Tali, this was a regular occurrence. We worked with Tali was 2 years ago in 2016, and much time has lapsed. However in all fairness to other brides out there looking for a wedding planner, I want to share details of our experience working with 'Pretty lil Details' to provide others with honest assessment. The positives of working with Tali were her vendors! Tali's recommend FLORIST was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!  And her referral for Furniture Rentals was perfect. It was also wonderful to have the extra sets of hands Tali provided with her assistants on the day of. The bride's family PAID IN FULL for only "partial services" - however everything that was contracted and paid for was NOT DELIVERED. Some of the contracted tasks that Tali failed to provide, bungled or complete on time are listed and described below: -------------- PRE PLANNING On NUMEROUS Occasions, Tali cancelled conference calls and meetings at the LAST minute, then failed to call altogether at the agreed upon rescheduled time (inconveniencing multiple participants). At the final walk through of the venue to finalize plans, Tali had been so out of check with the brides plans, that she unbeknownst to all other parties involved invited a "new vendor" in an apparent attempt to "upsale" her on unnecessary pieces and decor. Whether unwittingly or not, Tali lied saying that she had previously held events at the venue (she had NOT) as was evidenced by her impractical suggestions on the use of the space. This was also verified. Tali did not provide the final headcount to the caterer, venue and other vendors prior to the event,  and didn't even have the numbers to provide on the day of the wedding. (As Contracted) [Final #'s had been provided to Tali several weeks before.] Tali failed to create the reception layout in CAD to provide to vendors. (As Contracted) WEDDING REHEARSAL Tali arrived with an incorrect time line & schedule. While at the rehearsal venue, Tali attempted to task the Mother of the Bride with keeping all the bridesmaids on schedule for hair & makeup (for the wedding day). WEDDING RECEPTION Tali BAILED in the MIDDLE of the Wedding Reception (before the cake cutting). Leaving her unpaid and inexperienced assistants behind to do her job and clean up. (This resulted in my having to return to the venue [A 200 MILE ROUND TRIP -4 days Later] to finish clean up that Tali's assistants failed to complete at the end of the wedding.) Tali and her assistants failed to light the candles in the votives on all of the tables - TALK ABOUT MISSING 'PRETTY LIL DETAILS'! ------------------ There are other complaints that I could add to this list, but I believe I have made my point. I am sad to say that the Tali that we worked with was temperamental, fickle and dishonest.  I am not in the business and as a result, will never have a need to work with Tali Rivlin Ron again. However, I believe that the multiple reviews on Yelp, Wedding Wire and the like paint a false representation of every individuals experience; and would like the record to fairly reflect our experience. I TRULY WISH TALI ALL THE BEST.

I think it's funny how you write a REAL review on those wedding websites and they delete them so I…read moredecided to come on yelp and review! I used this company as our DJ for our wedding in 2011. Jonathan was super cool in the beginning and told us he will not be going on vacation for awhile so he will be there for us no matter what and would be the MC at our wedding. This place was the first DJ we checked out and the last. We paid in full up front and got a discount and we were happy! Fast forward to a few weeks before the wedding (we booked him 10 months beforehand) and haven't heard anything from him. We wanted to follow up with him and let him know our music for our first dance and blah blah. Called him, sent him emails. Nothing. It was absolutely ridiculous. FINALLY, a week or so before the wedding we get in touch with someone else and says I can meet you to go over everything. We ask what happened to Jonathan and he tells us he had a family emergency. Okay. For 3 weeks? Hmmmm. Okay. So we meet up with this other dude and go over everything and he gives us his number and we are good to go. And he then tells us he will be the MC for our wedding now, not Jonathan. Ha. Okay. So, 2 days before the wedding, he calls us up (I wish I remember his name) and says we can't do the gobo for you. Our machine is broken. We are pretty bummed since we did pay for it but we said okay we would like a discount. I guess the package we got INCLUDED the gobo at no charge. Yeah right. Okay. Whatever. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and everything turned out perfectly! Our DJ was right on with the music, played the music we wanted and everyone at our wedding loved him (except for a few people that he kicked off the dance floor when it was the anniversary dance). All in all, the music and entertainment was great. Jonathan on the other hand was an absolute salesman sleazeball. He drove out all the way to Hemet to meet us the first time which we thought was awesome. He was super cool first meeting and then he dropped off the face of the planet. Horrible with communication and most likely is a liar (I highly doubt he had a family emergency...he was probably at another wedding). Which was fine if he just told us the truth and communicated with us. I wanted to give this place a two but I've been to a few other weddings since then and the other DJ's were not nearly as good as ours so I had to bump them up 1 star.

I'm allergic to every part of weddings except for the free booze. The thought of spending more on a…read moredress than I spend on rent gives my hives, as do expensive cakes with gross crisco-y frosting, the cake cutting fees that accompany them, bad-tasting "signature cocktails," the thought of making all my single friends shuffle their feet awkwardly during a bouquet toss, and DJs who play that song where grown-ass people must make their hands into quacking ducks. So after an elopment attempt was foiled (long story) and the mister and I decided to have a wedding, we decided we'd do it our way. We got married in the front yard of our friend's house and had the reception in the backyard. Now, as it turns out, planning an at-home wedding is annoying, yes, and planning a non-traditional at home wedding is exponentially annoying. This is where Sharlene Griffith came in. She was amazing with vendors; we got deals that would make the folks at bridal expos weep. She turned my friend's backyard into the most magical wedding venue I've ever been to, practically did all the floral stuff herself, never winced when I selected the cheapest option for everything, and she even put up with my crazy reinvent-the-wedding-wheel ideas and even threw in some of her own. And the food (tacos! ceviche! spanish wines! etc! best cupcakes ever! for 1/10 the price of one of those stuffy ballroom food places) was amazing. My guests still talk about it. My husband and I were dancing at our wedding and saying to each other "wow, this really is the best day I've ever had" which was a surprise to two cynics like us. Many people told me it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. And they were right.Thanks Sharlene!

Sharlene Griffith Designs and Associates (SGD) the Paramour unprofessionally handled our…read moreexpectations and investments. TOP 10 PROBLEMS 1) During the post-ceremony photo session and before we could greet our guests on the lawn for cocktail hour, SGD told us guests moved into the dining room because it was hot and they had no where to sit. However, our guests told me they enjoyed the lawn but were told to go inside by SGD. This was also against our wedding schedule. 2) Communication with SGD and their coordination with vendors was inefficient and led to more work for us. 3) Nearly every major vendor I was referred by SGD was replaced within 10 days of the wedding. 4) After five months and several requests for a formal agreement to finalize the cost for SGD as our wedding coordinators, I was handed a contract for double the agreed upon amount. SGD later said this was an error from a repurposed contract. (See No. 2.) 5) SGD created an arbitrary "cleaning fee" when no such fee existed in our contract. 6) SGD got a phone call the morning after our wedding to remind us to return our unused alcohol by 12 noon for reimbursement. SGD neglected to share that intel until 4PM. 7) SGD quoted us a discounted rate for our security guard, to court us as clients for the venue. Two weeks after the ceremony, SGD and The Paramour sent us an invoice at a higher rate for hours that were't worked by the security guard. 8) Though our reception ended at the agreed upon hour, SGD charged us a penalty for being on property overtime. SGD masked that penalty with the security invoice. There was no mention of a penalty in our contract. 9) At 11 PM without notice, the overhead lights on the dance-floor came on hard prom night style. 10) Without our permission, The Paramour hired to a private photographer to document our costly ceremony rentals to feature the venue. SGD explained the night before the wedding that she would be reconfiguring my ceremony design for this photo session, and that I should be happy about this publicity. If this review helps one person avoid the experience I had, then I have been a responsible consumer. Now, back to wedded bliss.
