I cannot recommend Jacque and Lifetime Events by Jacqueline highly enough! From start to finish,…read moreJacque went above and beyond to create an unforgettable winter ski getaway and an incredible 50th birthday celebration at Whiteface Lodge. Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths.

Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands.

For almost two years, Karen Brown firmly stuck with me throughout the whole long process of making…read moremy wedding a reality. My husband and I got married on a perfect weekend last April in Brooklyn. The wedding went on without a hitch, and it was better than anything I imagined. Our guests keep saying that it was one of coolest weddings they've ever been to, but judging from that you wouldn't think that there was a long backstory involved to make it happen. Karen is a master in keeping the plan on track, and she coordinated all possibilities no matter what happened the entire time. Something new always seemed to pop up, from an unexpected wedding date and location change, to me suddenly having to move to a completely different city 300 miles away, to ceremony changes, and to us considering starting from scratch to do a city hall wedding midway (which we didn't). AND she seriously saved the day when our photographer couldn't show up at our wedding. Karen Brown's crisis management skills are the sh*t. We would've had to make do with someone's iPhone pics if it weren't for her finding another photographer at the last minute! We couldn't have been more grateful for having her as our planner that day. I thought she took care of that amazingly well: the original photographer called her the night before explaining he couldn't come, and Karen then immediately contacted another photographer, who was thankfully available, and booked her that same night. Karen handled the crisis on her own before she told me on the morning of the wedding so that I didn't have one more thing to worry about. I was completely stressed out in the days leading up to the wedding. If she called me the night before about this I would've lost my mind. So I was engaged for a long time but kept putting off wedding planning since I was always too busy. Karen got me started, making it easier for me by preparing a neat folder of all the info I needed and discussing the big picture. All my husband and I really wanted was a small casual party with good food, and Karen helped us develop a creative concept that fit our budget, which was also small. Being a former interior designer, she knows how to design good-looking events well. In working with her, I felt that she really took the time to really understand us and our needs to give us ideas that spoke to us, using her extensive knowledge of wedding places and people in the NYC area. Karen also had a great way of helping me see answers more clearly when I'm indecisive about things in the process, and that was great since being the decision maker on most everything was pretty stressful. Most importantly for me, since I had so much going on in my life, was that Karen created a personalized month-by-month checklist of what I need to do prior to my wedding date and followed up with me regularly for more than a year to make sure I created a guest list, bought my dress, sent out the save-the-dates, etc. When we were looking around for a venue and vendors, she took time out of her day to come along with us and asked them important questions that I didn't even think of. She also formulated a timeline for the wedding weekend scheduling each happening by the minute and sent it to all the vendors and the wedding party to keep them in the loop. Having everyone on the same page just made everything run much smoother. One of the best things I remember about Karen was that one day she mailed me a letter that was stuffed with exclusive sales at local wedding and accessory shops. She collected these from a recent wedding planner's gathering and thought of me. I was pleasantly surprised and so touched! Not only is Karen the most organized person I know who can be trusted to cover all the bases, she's also very conscientious in everything she does, and she's so pleasant to work with on top of all that. I had quite an exciting adventure with Karen Brown and can't believe we finally pulled it off so nicely! Needless to say, I've recommended her to everyone and will definitely get her on board for my next big party!

After months of reaching out and fighting to get our money back, I figured I'd share with you all…read moremy experience with Hermosa Grace LLC. This is the first negative review I have written given the horrendous and unbelievable service I received. Shannan Rawcliffe of Hermosa Grace LLC breached our contract and detrimentally ruined my wedding. Shannan was supposed to provide flowers and services in a timely manner for my wedding on July 18, 2021. We had agreed for her to arrive around 9AM and to have all the bridal bouquets ready by 1PM for the First Look. However, once 1PM came around, the flowers still haven't arrived and there was no communication as to what was going on. I had my venue, wedding coordinator, and maid of honor call Shannan to see what was happening and when was she going to arrive, but she ignored all our phone calls. I called again and was finally able to get ahold of her once during the entire day at 1:03PM and she said that she'll be there soon. At 2:19PM, she texts saying her team is almost there, but they didn't arrive until after 3PM. Mind you, we needed the flowers for the First Look at 1PM and all the photo sessions immediately after, and guests are expected to arrive around 4:30PM and the ceremony starts promptly at 5PM. Upon arrival, after 3PM, Shannan's two associates arrived and nothing was prepared or premade, so they were working on everything once they were on-site, and there was no sense of urgency from her associates to get the work done given the severe lateness. Shannan and her team delayed the entire timeline of our wedding as we had no idea of what was happening or when to expect the flowers to come so that we can have our photoshoots and ceremony set up. Everyone was waiting for Shannan and her team because she kept telling us that they'll be there "soon". I have tried reaching out to her over the phone and have left several voicemails. If I had not kept calling to check up on the status, they would have missed my wedding completely. When I was able to get ahold of her over the phone, she said that everything is already prepped and prepared, they just need to load the van and get over to the venue. Not only did her team arrive 6 hours later than scheduled, nothing was prepped or prepared, they were extremely rude and disrespectful, and had no sense of urgency. Her team arrived about 15 minutes into my portrait session with the entire wedding party, well after our First Look and couple's portrait session ended. The boutonnieres and bouquets weren't even ready for our portrait session with the entire wedding party as they were still putting those together on-site. We paid a lot of money for a photographer and videographer to capture this once in a lifetime moment AND we had no flowers in our pictures! The two associates were on the side arranging all the bouquets together, one by one, and we had to have our wedding coordinator and venue step in to help them speed up the process... how embarrassing!! We had planned a wedding portrait session under the ceremony pergola with a drone setup for the video shoot, but we couldn't do it because Shannan's team was trying to setup the flowers for the pergola. At that point, already hours behind schedule, and many missed planned photo sessions, we decided we didn't want the pergola decorated so we can get our drone photo session in. However, because Shannan's team was working by the pergola and didn't want to move to another location, we were unable to get the video footage and drone shot we paid our videographer for. On top of arriving extremely late to our wedding day, the flowers weren't even what we agreed to or discussed. The colors and types of flowers were so off, I even sent my Pinterest board along with dozens of pictures and examples. Shannan assured us that she would personally be at our wedding to set help up and oversee everything however, she never came. Apart from that, they didn't provide the goods and services in our contract! We did not get the two corsages. We also did not get the flowers for the welcome sign. Our venue had to step in and help make the groom's boutonnieres, nothing was prepared when they said to expect everything to be already set up, and none of Shannan's associates came after the ceremony to move the flowers to the reception, I did not get any table runners, candles, etc. during the reception. We had to pay our wedding coordinator and venue to help set up extra votive candles and help spread them throughout all the tables. The groomsmen and our personal attendant had to make their own boutonnieres as Shannan's team seemed perfectly fine coming late and taking their sweet time with the work. I don't even know what to say, this experience was so upsetting for both myself and my husband. We had a very detailed timeline that we've shared with all our vendors which was all derailed when none of the services we paid for was provided at the time we needed it to.

From the reviews and referral from my wedding planner, I expected the flowers to look amazing…read more Unfortunately, i did not have that same experience. I never met/spoke with the florist but I was reassured that the florist was well aware of my vision for my wedding. For my bouquet, I asked for a all fresh flowers for the ceremony and silk flowers for the reception. I wanted a tear drop bouquet with navy, white and dusty blue flowers. The bridesmaids bouquet were supposed to be navy blue and white roses only since they were wearing dusty blue. The boutonnière's for fathers and groomsmen were supposed to have one white rose and a dusty blue flower. The mothers of the bride and groom's flowers were white roses. I ended up with indigo, royal blue, white and a spec of dusty blue NON FRESH flowers for my bridal bouquet. Not only were the flowers NOT my color theme, but the construction was atrocious! There was a black (plastic? I don't know) block holding everything together in the back of the bouquet and lots of hot glue holding everything together for dear life. The ribbon that wrapped all of my flowers together looked worn and it looked like instead of cutting the ribbon, someone ripped it. If they (hermosa flowers) did not know how to construct a tear drop bouquet then that should've been communicated to the client or wedding planner for changes to be made or they should have practiced how to construct one before my wedding and (what seems like) not the day of. The weight of my bouquet was way too heavy. I had to hold it with two hands walking down the aisle to make sure it doesn't tip over and my matron of honor was shaking from holding her and my bouquet. ALL of the flowers looked like they've been sitting in a car or just outside in a box all day and at the last minute someone put it together. In totality, they were not fresh at all. The flowers for my bridesmaids were the same color that mine ended up being and the dye from the flowers got on their hands which ended up on their dresses. The mothers' flowers broke off in the beginning of the reception. The manager from my venue picked the best looking boutonnière for my husband. As soon as she took it out the plastic, it sort of fell apart and she had to pin it even more to his suit so it doesn't fall over. By the time of the reception, I saw it fall right in his hand and I had to remove it completely. We have spoken to our wedding planner and we were able to receive a partial refund. I would not recommend this business to anyone..especially not for a wedding.
