I purchased a clipart file from her website. The clipart sent in the download email did not match the descriptions stated on her website and the email download. I sent 4 emails and a text message before I received any response. The owner was apologetic for taking so long to reply but she did not correct the issue. After finally receiving a response I sent a screen shot of the email download to show the misinformation. I have not received any response to my last email. I did not want a refund, I just wanted the correct clipart file. As a small business owner I cannot waste money, no matter the amount. read more

I hired SoChic by Shakea for my baby shower on September 16th, 2017. At this point, I can't say that I was completely satisfied with her service nor would I be able to recommend her future for business. Few issues: 1. During our planning phase she requested a minumin of 1.5-2hrs to set up. I had to pay the venue for the extra set up time which initially wasn't a problem. It became an issue when the day of the party she did not arrive on time to set up (12:00-1:30). She did not show up until 12:45 and the shower was suppose to start at 1:30. She did not finish decorating until 2:30 and my guest were forced to sit in the lobby an hr into the start of the shower. I was not refunded any of the money that I paid to have her set up. Not to mention my mom and my cousin where helping her set up due to the fact that they were so far behind. 2. She did not call me nor did anyone from her team letting me know that she wasn't going to be on time. I had reached out to her around 12:30 to see how things were coming along with no response. I then called someone who was at the venue to see how things were progressing. Only after that did she decide to call me at 1:15 to tell me that she was late. I am understanding that things happen, but I'm sure she realized ahead of time that she wasn't going to make the time we agreed upon. When that was realized, I should have received a call/text from her or her team, but I did not. Her reasoning for not calling was that she didn't want me to alarm me. 3. When we orginally spoke I was suppose to have up lightng for my back drop that was also not present. We had three empty jars that were on the sweet table that were missing items. She did provide reimbursement for those three items that were missing. Overall, I think that this event could have been handled with more professionalism. I think the job was rushed which didn't leave me with a great experience. My guest had a great time, but unfortunately with this being my first experience with her I am unable to give her a positive recommendation. read more

SoChic By Shakea - Simply Amazing - Party & Event Planning Near Me

I would absolutely recommend SoChic by Shakea to everyone. I wanted to have a 30th birthday dinner on 1/2/16 and I set up a meeting with Shakea to give her my vision, color scheme, date, etc. Shakea was recommended a very affordable package deal that was advertised which included the event space, tables, chairs, table cloths, chair covers, customized water bottle, dinner menus, elegant decorations, a one tier fondant cake, 24 cup cakes, and 12 cake jars. When it came to paying for this package she worked with me and created a payment plan for me that I could afford. Shakea was very professional from our first encounter to the very end. She made sure she emailed, called and texted to make sure I was updated and informed with her progress. On the day of my party, I did not have to lift a finger. My party was beautifully designed and set up they way I envisioned it to be. She even coordinated with my caterer and DJ to ensure everything operated smoothly for me. This is the first time I have ever planned a party and did not have to do anything but pay, vocalize my vision, walk in and get exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much to the Shakea and the So Chic crew you all did an amazing job. Thank you for making my 30th birthday a day I will remember for a life time!! read more
