When I got engaged, I wasn't sure if I was going to use a planner at all. I set up a call with…read moreFrancesca just to get more info and within 5 minutes I knew I needed her. I was engaged for a little over a year and within that year, my husband and I truly felt like we had a good friend on our side planning our big day. Francesca took in everything i envisioned and made it a reality all staying within my budget. She suggested vendors that fit US and OUR style, not just people she liked. She told us how I could make "X" happen realistically and cost effectively rather than just letting me spend thousands of dollars on something I found on Pinterest (LOL). Most importantly, she made our wedding day the best day of our lives. If anything went wrong, we had no idea. She made sure we had a drink in our hands at all times. She made sure we ate. She made sure my dad didnt have all of the desserts before dinner even started. She made the venue look better than I could have ever envisioned and lead our team of vendors to perfection. We love The Eventful Gals and always say she is the best money we spent in the entire process.

This company ripped me off $300; owners are the amateur hour at best…read more ~ I was taken on as a client by Francesca, who neglected to tell me that she was knowingly going to be gone for an entire 2 months leading up to the week of my wedding. That is when she pawned us off to another coordinator. ~ They did not have my best interest at heart when it came to vendor pricing. Francesca got "ONE" quote from LUXE rentals which were the highest prices compared to other vendors I reached out to. When I told Francesca that I thought the price was high her response was "That's the going rate". I ended up having to do the leg work and book a vendor myself. ~ I specifically hired Francesca because I am in CA and my wedding is in St. Aug. FL. I needed someone to design & coordinate decor as well as direct the set up and tear down at the venue. During our free consultation I told Francesca I didn't want flowers as centerpieces. The ONE and only idea Francesca sent me for a centerpiece was with flowers to which she attached an invoice from the florist. ~ She was unresponsive after we pointed out that the only decor idea she provided us was the one thing we stated we did not want. ~ I was the one that kept having to initiate the conversation with Francesca because I wasn't getting any input on decor. ~ I asked about decor for the food stations and in so many words she told me that's not her job and I should talk to the caterer. ~ I politely asked them to please return any unused portion of my deposit to which they were very unprofessional (immediately trying to play the lawyer card) and claimed what they had done so far would bill well over my deposit amount. - Once I rebutted their rude and condescending response to my cancellation request with actual verbiage from our contract and email exerts, they have completely disappeared. - My Fiance (Career Military) and I (Corporate HR) are convinced that they are completely out of touch with professional expectations.

I called the chapel at 6:00pm on Tuesday to see if we could get married there on Thursday. They had availability that morning so I spent the next day calling family, finding a dress, looking for flowers and all that goes with a wedding. In the midst of the whirlwind our guest list increased from 6 to 15 however I failed to notify the chapel. They never batted an eye. They were so very nice and accommodating to us. Karla was FANTASTIC, the Minister was WONDERFUL and the ceremony was absolutely PERFECT. It could not have gone better if I had actually planned it!

More than twice the price of any dinner on the menu. The price was not mentioned anywhere. Our waitress made no suggestion that it was exceptional.

Parking was not a problem here either. The show at this location went smoothly with absolutely no hiccups. I recommend this convention center for either small or large scale events as the staffing here can assist in both in an effective and professional manner. 5 stars!
