South Padre Weddings

Jackie was very nice to work with throughout our planning, but not organized at all. The day of our rehearsal she had didn't know if the time was at 3:00pm or 5:00pm not to mention we didn't even get a rehearsal. She sat and talked with us and showed us where the wedding would take place and then she left. Our package included pictures during the rehearsal which we did not get. The day of the wedding something went wrong with the dj and Jackie had to have me download my songs for the wedding onto a card for her because they couldn't locate my music. Talk about stressed out! The wedding day is stressful enough for the bride without all of the problems going on. We hired a wedding planner so that we wouldn't have to worry about all of the small things and it was a mistake. The wedding itself looked beautiful aside from the trash around the site. The "dj" was far from what I would call a dj. He looked like a rough biker who showed up in jeans and a leather vest with a messy pony tail and was smoking throughout our entire ceremony. The audio was not set up well and the mic made horrible ear piercing squeals all throughout our ceremony. The pictures are what I was most excited about and they were disappointing as well. Jackie sent me a cd with over 700 photos on it. There was not a single edit done and the cd included the bad pictures with people sneezing and eyes closed in them. I am a picture person and work with photographers often, this was very unprofessional not to mention unacceptable on her part. The cd should have been edited and included only the acceptable pictures from the batch. Over all we were very disappointed in her services considering the amount of money that we paid. We could have done it by ourselves and it would have turned out a lot smoother. If you are planning on marrying on the beach (which I would still recommend it was beautiful) I would definitely choose a different planner and photographer.
