She's belligerent, obnoxious and has a potty mouth. She was very unprofessional. The scheme is this, she has two sides to the venue. When I called her on the phone she gave me a price of $2,500. However, when my niece arrived to the venue and gave her a $500 deposit, so the next day I went down there to see and that's where the games begin if you want both sides you have to pay $3,800, she said 4000 so in actuality, she gave me a discount LOL. I spoke to several people that had weddings, and we pass for the loved ones and they only pay $2,000, lady took advantage of my broken heart and my vulnerability. I am going to report her I'm going to get my money back and I suggest anyone do not do business with this shyster she has no compassion for no One, she is truly money hungry.

When I first started wedding planning, I knew absolutely nothing about weddings or the wedding…read moreindustry. I was one of the first among my friends to get married, so everything was completely new to me. Looking back, meeting MJ truly felt like God's perfect timing. I didn't even realize how well-known and sought-after she was when we first connected. From our very first meeting all the way through the wedding day (and even after), MJ was such a reassuring presence in my life. She made me feel supported, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. Because of her, I experienced almost no stress while planning our wedding. She didn't just bring my vision to life--she gave me everything I dreamed of and more. What I appreciated most was how intentional she was about creating a wedding that felt authentically us. She took the time to understand who we were as a couple and brought that vision to life in a way that felt personal, meaningful, and beautiful. I'm also a very detail-oriented and particular person, so I had high expectations. Somehow, every detail exceeded them. Every decision, every recommendation, and every element of the wedding felt thoughtfully planned and executed. One of my favorite memories happened on our wedding day. I had told myself I wasn't going to cry, but after the ceremony, I remember telling MJ how happy I was and how perfect everything had been. She gave me a big smile and told me, "This is why I do what I do," and I honestly almost started crying right there. It was such a heartfelt moment and reminded me how much she truly cares about her couples. Seeing how invested she was in our happiness was incredibly touching. Our families, friends, and we ourselves were absolutely blown away by how everything turned out. What's funny is that a lot of my friends were actually worried about me throughout the planning process because I wasn't freaking out. They know how detail-oriented and particular I am, so they kept checking in and asking if I was stressed. The truth is, I didn't need to freak out! MJ had everything completely under control. She guided us through every step of the process, breaking things down into manageable tasks and making everything feel organized and easy. Every time someone asked if there was anything they could help with, I honestly didn't have much for them because MJ was already several steps ahead. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless from beginning to end. Looking back, one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding journey was choosing MJ as our wedding planner. Not only is she incredibly talented, organized, professional, and creative, but she genuinely cares about her couples and pours her heart into every wedding she plans. Hiring MJ was hands down one of the best investments we made, and honestly, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are beyond grateful for her and so proud to have had her as our planner. I cannot recommend MJ enough

I hired Joan and My Private Beach Club for my wife's 50th birthday bash at the beach with 24 of our…read morefriends and family and let me tell you, I was more than impressed; I was blown away, as were our friends. Joan was referred to me by a caterer that we ended up not using and she wasn't the first company I contacted. A friend recommended a friend of hers but she ghosted me for a few days and Joan instantly impressed me with her prompt, continual and very clear communication, reviews, proven track record and most importantly, professionalism. Honestly, I don't know how long Joan has been doing this but one would think she's been doing it for decades. Oh, and when the other decorator finally got back to me and I had told her I had chosen another company, she ghosted me again...not even a 'thank you for your consideration, maybe next time' text. I easily and painlessly worked out a theme, plan and cost with Joan and I've got to admit, I'm not one of the easiest fellas to work with. Add to that that I've never done anything like this before. The location was actually at our "private beach club", the private Portuguese Bend Beach Club, a location Joan was familiar with but had never worked. Access to the sand is easy as you can park right up to it, however, I chose a location about 75 yards from the parking area, right near the water's edge. Despite the relatively unfamiliar location and extra distance, Joan was eager and up for the challenge. Online contracts were simple and professional and payments were made in two installments online, once at the time of booking and once three days prior to the event. On the day of the event, Joan and her husband arrived with plenty of time to set up for our 4pm event start. When we arrived at around 3:30, we were blown away at how beautiful everything was. We used PBC's (Portuguese Bend Club) own picnic tables to form a long table instead of the low tables and Joan dressed them absolutely beautifully with tablecloths, runners, chargers, plates, two types of glasses (one for cocktails and one for wine), lovely utensils, candles and stunning, big and lush floral arrangements to suit my wife's color palette. Joan also set up 3 big umbrellas over the tables for some shade. By the way, even after sitting out on the beach that afternoon, those lovely flowers lasted well over a week and still looked absolutely beautiful! Joan also set up two lounge areas which were perfect and cozy as well as a buffet table for drinks and appetizers. Joan didn't even charge me for the buffet table, cocktail glasses and appetizer platters. I had brought some of my own glasses and platters but she was kind enough to throw hers in. Super nice touch. One thing happened that we were only momentarily devastated by was that the wind picked up exactly at 4pm when our party started and two of the umbrellas took flight and crashed on top of 2/3 of our lovely long table, breaking many of the beautiful glasses and some other things. Needless to say, I was not happy and I turned to Joan and said, 'This is not good.' Well, being the incredible planner that Joan is, get this, she had EVERYTHING back up and looking gorgeous moments later. She swapped out the umbrellas for beautiful lacey ones that would be more suitable in the wind and cleaned up and replaced all the broken glasses and things. WHAT A PRO! My wife absolutely loved her beautiful 50th birthday party at the beach and we all had such a wonderful time. I highly, highly, highly recommend Joan and 'My Private Beach Club' to take very good care of your next event.

While their treats were good, customer service is tremendously lacking. I wasn't going to write a…read morereview because I wanted to give them an opportunity to make it right, however, they did not. Never work with a business that takes no accountability when they mess up and inconveniences you. Not only do they not provide pictures of completed custom orders before delivery (I was told "you will see it when it is delivered"), but what I was fearful of happening, happened. My cake arrived and had the wrong design on it. They said it was their error but offered nothing back in return. After letting them know that was unsatisfactory, they offered 10% off the next order. I place the next order and pay another deposit, but when I came to pick up the order, they said it wasn't ready because they didn't receive the deposit until after we got off the phone (not true, nor was I informed that was a policy). I had to wait additional time for them to make the order with no apology or further discount. Victoria told me to have a blessed day before I left, but I'm certain she was being sarcastic. Save yourself the trouble, don't go with them. Additionally, from the looks of the other reviews and responses from them, I expected nothing less of a smart response and how it was my fault (see their response). They also posted my picture and name on their business page saying not to work with me. How professional is that? Buyer, beware.

Inquiry for a cake for my wedding and desserts.--…read more I tried calling numerous of times during their normal business hours with no luck. I left a voicemail and left an Instagram message with no response back. Finally after 4 days later Luna picks up.... I didn't even bother telling her I have been trying to get a hold of them because I was just happy she finally answered because I wanted to get this cake/dessert off my wedding to-do check list. I told her about my idea for my cake and immediately was negative about it and said it was impossible and that she had to get back to me if she can do it. My idea was this-- I wanted a tier tower with a top cake and donuts I can fill down in the bottom layers. Or top tier cake and another at the bottom. I didn't even get to discuss design or desserts because she didn't let me and wanted to get off the phone to do the "tower tier research". She promised me she would call me back at the end of the day--and again didn't hear back from her. The following week I called, and called, and called to follow up and finally another staff member answered and I told her I was waiting for Luna to call me back and she let me know she will be in later that day and would call me back.... I didn't hear back from anyone. It has been over a week of trying with this place and I'm done. I don't understand how a place of business does not tend to customers who are interested in buying with a big budget. So disappointing! In all honesty, I am so relieved I did not do business with this place and they showed how terrible they were from the start! The bad reviews on here are REALLY BAD and its definitely a sign! I found another company for my wedding cake/desserts and not only were they super positive for what I needed, they were extremely helpful and informative.
