This company gives the impression that it's upscale, but is HORRIFICALLY run. There have been two complaints about them already to the Better Business Bureaa and venders don't like working with them because they don't get paid!!! Where does the money go? Who knows, but there last wedding the videographer told the bride's Mom that he couldn't get her the video until FYI paid him, and the dj didn't show up becuase his check from FYI bounced. (came at the last minute because FYI paid him with money Mechelle Farrell, FYI owner, borrowed from her dad!) None of her brides realize how close to disaster each of FYI's weddings are, and one of these days it'll all come crashing down. Make sure it's not you when it happens...
Ok....it is actually humorous to see the comments from O.C. And Jaina because it is so obvious that is is Mechelle. "Get a life folks" -that is so her line. Once again ... The woman is a freak. Not to mention a complete idiot. The more I am hearing these stories...the more disgusted I become. Please make sure that you listen to these comments etc. All the ways that these messages are describing these two are soooo true. After working with them in the past, the way people have described them could not be more true. What a disaster. Quite unbelievable too. I think what you have here is a classic narcissist. Just like OJ and Scott Peterson, they truly believe that they did nothing wrong...Sick!
As a Wedding Designer myself, I am appauled to hear about some "POSSERS" abussing peoples wedding funds. I have to admit we do receive a large amount of $$$ upfront (mostly for all the rentals, decors,services).
One rule I have with ALL our planners is DO NOT ACCEPT any $ for paying vendors or venues!
We always suggest to the client they must forward payments themselves. We of course would be happy to set reminders. To be honest is just more darn work!!! We have enough shopping, driving, drawing, crafting, planning, calling, typing, sleepless nights, and accounting to do! - www.whatasplendidwedding.com
