At the end of the day, Ayuna did a good job with my event and all of our guests loved the venue…read more The decorations were beautiful and she provided some convenient extras at the last minute (i.e. table cloths, upgraded chairs, cake table decor). I appreciated that she took certain liberties on the day of the event to make the colors pop. She definitely has some skills with color coordinating. She was also nice enough to provide some pictures of decor ideas and she provided great referrals for a band and bakery. You can tell that she works hard to the point that she is overextended, and I can respect and appreciate a Black female business owner. However there is room for improvement towards a more enjoyable planning experience. I am a very detailed person and there were definitely some hiccups and stress during the process. Here are some things for the consumer to be aware of- Be careful with asking too many questions. Ayuna became very annoyed during one of our initial meetings at her venue. My questions dealt with the specific placement of furniture and items around the venue and in the lobby and halls. Unfortunately, she snapped at me and told me not to ask her questions again about items that would "obviously would be moved after she cleans up". As if we know the normal position and look of the venue. This to me, was a very unbecoming moment from someone in the hospitality industry and a very disturbing experience since I like to plan every detail to ensure that I have the desired look. In addition to snapping at me, she was also condescending and stated "as I previously told you" on several occasions during our conversation. The hostility that she displayed during this meeting was extremely unprofessional and disheartening. Next are the payment methods. Ayuna uses Zelle and Cash App which offers the consumer no protection if something goes awry. I am not crazy about using p2p platforms for payment of large sums of money. I realize there are fees associated with credit cards, but expanding the payment options may be warranted. A few other items of note: Ayuna moved my second payment date up in spite of what my initial invoice stated. (I am big on what is in writing.) I also noticed that certain things that I ordered or that we discussed were not provided such as a red carpet, high boy tables and a half gold arch. I think that Ayuna was pressed for time and just couldn't get to handling. I will say that Ayuna later provided a $50 refund to rectify this. My final recommendation is upping the attire that Ayuna and her staff wear if they will be present and around guests during a semiformal event.

Well, My Business Partner/ Manger and I rented with Glitz/Ayana for my Meet n Greet for $2500 and I…read morewas shown the Suite to where my Event would bee doing my Event and was told I had a PRE-SET UP between 10am-12pm for myself an my Vendors... Well, the day before the event we were to meet up an discuss Decorations but she stood my Manger & I. We waited for 45 min in the parking lot from 1pm to 1:43pm and we had to go. After we pulled off(she was sitting there in her SUV the whole time), she texted me, " Here "; I wasn't turning around at that point. She asked me to call her that evening an I did an she SAID, She had my tables set with the black cloths , with center pieces, balloons an my backdrop; gas lighted the shit outta me. The day of my event, My ppl an I get there at 10am,EXPECTING EVERYTHING to be Set Up and READY for US to do our Thang, RIGHT!?; NAWWWWWWW, We get there an she told me that the Suite she ORIGINALLY had for my EVENT was SOMEHOW DOUBLED BOOKED so she thru US NEXT DOOR in a DIRTY ASS SUITE, FLOORS were so sticky, you heard EVERYONE WALKING!! Holes I'm the walls, Windows nasty, Kitchen area filthy, NO TABLES BALLOONS, BACKDROP OR ANYTHING had been done. She was setting up WHILE MY VENDORS were setting up, My guest were arriving and she trying to dance with me to my DJ music! I FILTHY START ON TIME AT 12PM because she Fucked Me out of $2500 for UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICES. I didn't event have words for her after setting all that and Now she's trying to blame the BUILDING OWNERS for get Poor Services she provided me. I guess since I wasn't a Famous Celebrity, I got the " FUCK YOU " , Services. My Event still went on an was still SUCCESSFUL; MY TICKET HOLDERS were still Grateful but did SEE EVERYTHING that transpired JULY 18, 2026 AT GLITZ OF ATLANTA PARTY EVENT by way of VYBEZ Restaurant an Lounge in Stonecrest, Ga. And this is a Prime Example by Most Black People Don't like doing Business with Other Black Owned Businesses. I am a Black Own Brand and Business Owner as well an would have NEVER TREATED My Costumers or Clients in this Manner. I never got an apology or REDUND; Just EXCUSES...
