This is just a warning to anyone wanting to use Romantic Essentials for their special occasion. My…read morestory began when I was in need of an engagement proposal specialist. I found Romantic Essentials online and the gallery was amazing. I sent the business an inquiry and they responded with a telephone request for May 23rd. We spoke on the telephone and expressed my ideas for an engagement proposal. They requested $200 deposit to lock in my July 1st date. I paid those monies on June 2nd. On June 9th, I paid another $399 towards the $999 package that I selected. June 25th was the next correspondence I received via email. It was a reminder about an upcoming telephone session that was scheduled for June 27th. Next, I actually received a notification at 0500hrs that my monies would be refunded and my telephone appointment was canceled. I was blown away by the notifications. I quickly researched past emails and saw that I missed a payment reminder two days prior. I was very busy with a very sick friend and mentor in the hospital. I will own that and I will be accountable for that. The issues are as follows: I tried to email & text the representative Zakiya several times. She eventually called me back and expressed that they would no longer be able to help me with my proposal less than 4 days away. Regardless of my ability to pay the remaining $399. She only apologized for her assistant not calling me about the final payment reminder. I asked if I could utilize the "MARRY ME" letters to somehow salvage the date. Zakiya said that she would check the availability and call me back later. She never called to assist me. They ghosted me! At that point in this journey, they have $600 of the monies that I have paid. She advised that I would only receive $399, the other monies are non-refundable ($200). If you told the assistant to call me and they did not, there needs to be more accountability from the business. Two hundred dollars for two phone calls is excellent money if you can make it off of someone. Throughout our communications, they expressed faith in the conversations. My question, where was the grace that could have been shown to me?Ultimately, God received the glory and it was a beautiful moment that my fiancé will never forget. God brought together a different planner and photographer in the eleventh hour.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding coordinated by Maria at Center of Attention, and I was absolutely…read morefloored by how incredibly smooth she made the day for us. That experience solidified, in my eyes, the value of the service she provides. Wedding Day is wonderful but it RARELY comes without its own set of last minute headaches... and Maria was there to handle it all! From flower mishaps, to family matters, Maria's decisiveness and commitment to a stress-free day for the bride and groom made us all feel so thankful she was there to take care of business! I was so impressed by her level of professionalism, by her organization skills, and just how she seemed to be in all places at the same time! She coordinated all the vendors, put everything (and everyone) in place, decorated, managed the wedding party, kept everything running on time, did some serious on-the-spot trouble shooting, and I was just like WOW! As a soon-to-be bride myself, I immediately saw the tremendous value in having her there. In fact, I was so impressed that I hired her to be the Day of Coordinator for my own wedding! I was originally planning to do it all myself with a little help from my friends. But after seeing first hand how even the most impeccably planned wedding could have some last minute issues, and how there is SO MUCH coordinating that happens the day of, I knew right then and there that my delusion of not needing a Day Of Coordinator was only going to set me up for a stressful wedding day. And let's face it, no one wants that. The happy couple wants to be just that- HAPPY- on their wedding day. And in order for that to happen, you need someone competent in wedding stuffs, that knows the business, to handle the things that are going to stress you out. So, I'm choosing to let Maria handle all that so that, on our wedding day, the celebration of our love can be the center of attention!
