I ordered a MOB dress on Feb. 2.  Measurements were taken and a lengthy contract had to be signed…read more The young lady was friendly and stated it would take about 4-6 weeks to arrive.  The dress arrived 12 weeks later. I went to pick up the dress midweek.  The shop was busy and I was asked to try on the dress in a "pop-up" dressing room (It was just like the shower costume in the Karate Kid movie) on the display floor with people walking by.  The length wasn't even close despite the measurements, and the zipper would not zip.  I was asked to wait until the owner arrived, as only one girl was working. The owner arrived, was unable to get the zipper to work and broke it altogether.   The store agreed to pay for the zipper replacement (which they did), and I had to pay $46 to have the dress hemmed.  I was then told that the shop does not send items out for alterations. You have to take it yourself. They have 2 seamstresses: one in Holly Hill and one in New Smyrna Beach.  I was then asked to sign another document stating that I picked up the dress and agreed to pay for any alterations.   The nearest seamstress was 1 1/2 hours from my home.  She did a great job and I finally have a dress.  In hindsight, I would have gone to J.C. Penney or Dillard's, bought a dress, gotten alterations locally, and been done with it.  That would have likely cost less than the $350 paid in the end, and definitely involved a lot less headache.

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would…read more This was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of wedding planning--trying on dresses and celebrating such a special time. Instead, it turned into one of the most uncomfortable and humiliating experiences I've ever had in a store. The owner and employees were shockingly rude and made comments that felt extremely body-shaming toward women who are not a size 2. If you have curves, boobs, or a butt, be prepared to feel judged and talked about while trying on dresses. Rather than creating a welcoming and supportive environment for brides, they made us feel embarrassed and self-conscious the entire time. No bride should feel criticized or mocked while she's trying on wedding dresses. This should be a joyful experience, and they completely ruined it with their unprofessional behavior and attitude. It's incredibly disappointing to see a bridal shop treat customers this way, especially when people are there to celebrate such an important milestone. We left feeling disrespected, embarrassed, and shocked by how we were treated. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Brides deserve kindness, support, and respect--not judgment and humiliation!

RUN from EVA, the "wedding planner NOT". Once you have plunked down your $3,000. reaching her…read morebecomes next to impossible. E-mails go unanswered, her phone gets put on Robot mode, text messages are ignored. We even drove down to her hair salon trying desperately to reach her. In her profession, planning is the key. Planners are in regular communication with their clients, have a mutually agreed upon plan and (especially if outdoors), contingency plans for weather, tides, crowds, etc. Eva does NOT! After making a trip to our wedding location, two weeks before the wedding we tried to reach her to plan or suggest an alternate, less crowded area. When we finally made contact, good news, Eva actually had us on her schedule for the correct date! However, she had us scheduled for wrong time (4:00 p.m. in lieu of 11:00 a.m.) at the wrong location 20 miles north! Our concerns were confirmed. When we suggested an alternate location, the answer was a "hard No"! After that, Eva went dark again (not responsive to calls, texts, etc.)!! Not until almost 13 hours before the wedding did she suggested that our guests arrive 3-4 hours early to make sure they could secure nearby parking and "hang out" and enjoy the beach prior to the ceremony. Can you imagine our elderly guests all dressed up for a wedding, out on the beach for several hours, sweating to death, watching her set up? This is when we knew we were on our own. We had 13 hours to scramble, put a wedding together on the beach (at our condo), finding someone to perform the service, set up chairs, make an altar, notify all the guests of the change... We got it done without any assistance whatsoever from Eva. On an end note, Eva has received negative reviews before and has posted rebuttals denying any wrongdoing. We expect her to do the same here. Ask yourself, "Why take a chance on having your child's special day ruined by this woman?" There are plenty of other planners in the area, why risk it? We highly suggest you RUN, RUN, RUN form Eva, the Wedding Planner, NOT!!!

There were a multitude of issues for the wedding. 1…read more Super hot day in April 2025 and no water or beverages were available to the wedding party or guests. 2. Tall tables on the patio were partially decorated. One table didn't even have a tablecloth on it. 3. Decorations were styrofoam balls cut in half with fake flowers from a discount store stuck in them. 4. The groom provided specific seating charts for the reception. The event planner totally ignored them, seating several of the groom's family members at separate tables. 5. Food - They ran out of food after 6 tables had served themselves from the buffet. My table finally got up to see why we hadn't been called and were told they were out of food. They didn't even have any more plates available. I asked one of the helpers and was told they didn't have anyone to wash dishes and, therefore, didn't have any clean plates. I found Lyndsey and asked for clean plates and more food and her reply was "everyone before you took too much". {Most event planners/caterers know to have the guests hold their plates while the food is dished up by an employees. This provides portion control and also speeds up the line. So, the grooms mother, father, brothers, and about 15 other tables did not get any food.) 6. The wedding cake sat on an antique table with no linens, plates, or cutlery. Everyone had to be out of the venue by 10 pm, and as we were leaving, we realized the cake had not been cut. No one was there to cut the cake. As a guest hurriedly tried to cut it and pass it out, we found out there were 2 sheet cakes in a refrigerator that would not be used since people had left. 7. Photography - They spent 2 hours or more after the wedding taking pictures. The bride's family were all included. Some of the groom's relatives from out of state were not included. There should have been a list of all photos and people to include. 8. Bar - the bartenders were not actually bartenders. They were employees of the wedding dress shop Lyndsey owns. Drink choices were very limited due to their lack of experience. I don't normally give negative reviews but feel that potential clients need to be aware that this is not a professional wedding planner. Buyer Beware!
