Live It Up! Events

If you're looking for wedding planners who listen to you, make your day seamless, relieve you of wedding day stress, and simply get the job done....DO NOT hire this company. They were great women to talk to, until I needed them to do their job during wedding week and day-of. Not everything was terrible of course, but:

- didn't follow the very well-communicated and printed order of ceremony...let the groom's parents go down the aisle waaay to early, so they were standing there long before processional. Then they literally pushed my first bridesmaid to walk down the aisle long before planned. This caused confusion for most of the following bridal party and guests, who couldn't figure out why the bridesmaid was standing in the middle of the aisle to some random song.

Bear in mind that I, the bride, saw this happen, and said to the coordinator "What are you doing? We need to wait for the music"...her response? "It's okay!! Don't worry about it! Everything's great!" What could we do with that?

- the decor company screwed up centrepieces and bridal party florals...the coordinators did not address this

- the coordinators did not keep the reception flow going..lots of dead air and disorganization despite our detailed schedule

- didn't follow the floorplan for reception layout

- Didn't supervise the cocktail hour at all. The pianist's piano was locked by the venue sometime after the ceremony, and the DVD player of a very carefully created secret video didn't play. The coordinators were nowhere to be found.

- My guests complained that they were extremely "in your face" about getting the wallflowers on the dancefloor.

- following our wedding, I tried to discuss these things with them (we had of course, paid them cash as required) - not only were they disinterested in our comments, they actually called me an Anti-Semite, adding literal insult to injury.
