I must address the review above!!!

I am the PROUD owner of Her Majesty’s Event Rental and Design, and I am tired of being slandered across the internet as a result of this particular event! First and foremost, the bride chose her own decorations; thus, my job was simply to place them in a manner that would enhance the décor of the wedding venue. However, the pictures that were shown to me at meetings prior to the wedding were different from the actual items I was given to work with for the event. According to the bride, the reason for this and other last-minute changes just days before the wedding was to save money, because in her own words, “There was no more in the budget.”

As an event planner, I understand how my clients will likely incur unexpected costs, particularly as the big day approaches; however, I am not a miracle worker. I can only take an event as far as their budgets will allow and while seeking the most that their money can buy. In this case, I sympathized with the bride-to-be and even purchased some items for the wedding with my own money, at no additional cost to her. What more could I have done?

Furthermore, my company offers several options (one of which is full service), including all decorations, linen, chairs, centerpieces, etc., which often saves time and money for the already overwhelmed client. In this case, the bride chose to handle these details herself and, in fact, refused when I once again extended them to her a week before the wedding. As a result of HER decision, HER wedding did not flow as smoothly as it could have. This resulted in poorly-designed bouquets and centerpieces, a shortage of chair sashes, and a lack of plastic cups and plates, to name a few. To ensure that all wedding guests dined, I left during the wedding reception and purchased cups and plates at my own expense (including gas). Let me reiterated, the bride was supposed to handle these matters herself; yet, I ruined her wedding??

As for the all-important linen, once again, I asked the bride if she wanted me to take her linen, which needed steaming, to my cleaners. She responded that she had a steamer and thus refused. This resulted in what I would refer to as ‘pathetic-looking’ linen that had not, in fact, been steamed. It was only on the DAY OF THE WEDDING that I found out that the bride’s friend who was supposed to steam the linen never showed up, leaving the bride ‘hanging dry’ and forcing her to take them out of storage the DAY OF and use them AS IS!!! As the planner, I was quite disappointed because there was very little I could do with wrinkled linen; but I am a professional and there was no time to complain, so I put my skills and expertise into immediate action and made a quality product with sub-quality materials.

I am very appreciative of my many customers who have expressed their appreciation for my willingness to sit and show them ALL packages available in hopes of accommodating their specific needs and budgets. It is important to note that they come to me with 2 important concepts in mind: 1. Let the experts handle the details; that’s why you hired them to begin with, and 2. Do not expect a $5,000 event with a $500 budget. It’s just not possible!

So, let’s be fair and take a good, long look in the mirror before slinging false allegations over the internet, which can directly impact another’s livelihood. I can do very little, if anything, with décor or wrinkled linen that showed up the day of the wedding. I can’t make plastic cups and plates magically appear when the bride tells me she’s taking care of it, and I certainly cannot force anyone to make me handle these necessities, NO MATTER HOW HARD I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO. So, if anyone needs to be checked, talk to your friend, the newlywed.

This past weekend we had a party for my boyfriend and it had to go with a specific theme. She came to us and sat with us and showed us different linens and color patterns for the party. We purchased a linen package from her for 100 people and it included the set-up. The party was nice. We used a few of her other vendors. Although we bought our own decor, her linen added that touch of elelgance we needed. If we had to do it again we probably have hired her as a full-service planner.

I must address the review above. I am the owner and I am tired of being slandered across the internet from this particular event. The bride who this post is in reference to, chose the decorations for her own wedding. It was my job to simply place them where they needed to be. The pictures that were shown to me at our meetings were different from the items she actually had at the event. She changed many things at the last minute (Thursday before the wedding) to save money because as she said "there was no more budget". I even bought a few things of my own that were free to her because I began to feel sorry for her. She could have paid for full-service and everything would have been taken care of. She made her own bouquets, if thats what they were and designed her own centerpieces. She didnt even have enough chair sashes for her chairs, or napkins for her guests. She ran out of the plastic plates and cups that she bought for her guests to eat on and I went and found a store to get some from, because she couldnt even give guests cake. Guests were forced to eat off of chargers? Her linens were not steam because she took them out of storage the day of. She told me her friend was coming to steam the linen, just like the friends that were supposed to be at the non-existent wedding rehearsal because none of them showed up. I had asked her a week before if she wanted me to take her linens to my cleaners, and she told me she had a steamer. I offered to her to rent centerpieces from me to help and she refused that as well. You are looking at the wrong person sweetheart. If I dont know a full story, I wont mess with someone's livelihood by spreading lies on the internet. You have a problem with the decor that was there? You have a problem with your friend or yourself. I am an event planner and decorator and not a magician. The same day you saw the decor was the same day I saw it. Nothing was what she showed me. So if you want to check something check yourself.

As I wrote before and it was removed, I do not recommend this company. They did a horrible job with a friend of mine's WEDDING, a day they can never get back. I feel bad for her.



Please use a company with integrity and that can deliver what they promise.

I DO NOT recommend this company. I attended a wedding that this company was contracted to decorate / coordinate and I felt bad for the couple.



Linens were not steamed, the ceremony backdrop was horrible, just horrible...decorating was mediocre at best and there was NO coodination, PERSONALLY I think there should be legal actions taken, actually I would encourage it for anyone that hires a company presenting themselves to be able to do a task and then cannot. Integrity is important with any service business. Just because you can tie a bow on a chair does not make one a WEDDING DECORATOR or Coordinator, you are dealing with milestones in people's lives and mediocre, uncaring attitudes, the inability to complete tasks and attention to details are a NO NO. As a professional myself here is my free advice to you DELIVER WHAT YOU PROMISE and if you cannot come damn close call in another company for help and backup at YOUR cost.



My wish for Her Majesty's Event Rental & Design's Owner, Dawn (from what I saw at this wedding) is that your company halt business practices and get some professional training, otherwise you will find yourself in legal proceedings. I do wish your company all the success in the world however other people need to know that while you may be ok at a baby shower or perhaps a birthday party but for a Wedding you lack focus, training, know how, attention to detail, people skills, decorating skills, industry know how, vision, and the ability to do multi-task.



To the Consumer-do your research, ask for proof, ask to see skill set BEFORE any event. Ask to see a chair bow tied, ask to see a sample backdrop done in your presence not a photo...ask for references, ask questions and lots of them. Do not trust important events to just anyone.

Her Majesty is a professional business, that offers clients a lot of choices. I was on a budget and they sat down with me to give me different options in order to make my event a success. They didn't have to do this because I was only renting linen from them. They take their job very serious. I have already recommended them to several friends.
