I booked Grisell in Jan 2021 for my Feb 2022 wedding, and everything was wonderful leading up to it. The rehearsal went as smoothly as it could. BUT wedding day was a nightmare. This was a residential property wedding, so a lot of elements were purchased by me leading up and I had organized all table décor, lighting (set up already), and details. I left everything for them, did a walk through on all the details and the couple knew what they were getting into for a year! I had prepped everything and just needed the moving parts and leg work to move tables and décor. I was relying on coordination and floral arrangements, also. This was all built into my “package”. I even spent an extra fee to make sure all clean up happened and made sure to book the “attendants” longer than originally purchased! First off, Grisell and “team” was 45 minutes late to set up, my Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, numerous friends, and family that arrived hours earlier had to set up because the “attendants” that I paid for, were teenagers and didn’t know what to do or what to set up. When I say friends and family, I am talking about over a DOZEN friends and family helping. This is unacceptable. Grisell’s husband was there to pick up the pieces while she disappeared. After I walked out for the ceremony, I never saw her again that evening. I had side add ons like a vintage table for coffee, tea, beverages, which was fine. The details in linens were awful, nothing was steamed or set, there weren’t chairs wrapped in fabric, floor “puddle” linen for the main family table…I was even missing a place setting for my sister at the family table, the officiant corsage wasn’t what we talked about AT ALL …ANYWAY. We didn’t have a coordinated cake cutting, I was just handed the knife to cut it. No plate, nothing. I found our wedding cake jammed in the freezer, unwrapped. The cupcakes that came with our order was taken by Grisell at the end of the breakdown. At least all my items minus a handmade drapery were recovered, that I know of anyway. I also asked for my bridal bouquet to be shipped to a service to preserve it. She agreed, but when it came down to shipping, it never happened. She called after realizing I was upset about how the coordination went (at least 7 times in a row!). I ignored the call because it wasn’t worth the aggravation a day after my wedding, and I was simply exhausted. I was grateful to retrieve a cluster of my favorite wedding “alter” flowers to preserve and remember my wedding day. Mind all this, I had a beautiful wedding, and I had no idea of the lack of coordination and cluster that it was, but it was saved mostly because my friends and family made it happen. The husband did all the coordination, while looking extremely stressed the entire time. I wouldn’t recommend. I am extremely grateful to the amazing people in my life to save my wedding details. Spare yourself the stress and don’t hire this “company”.
