DON'T USE THEM - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

"Thank God we didn't actually end up using Adina Slye but we nearly did. At the beginning she seemed to know her stuff. We wanted to get married in Italy and she seemed to be in love with the place going on her website so we called her and had our first meeting a couple of weeks later and she seemed very professional. It did not take long however for her to become extremely slow in responding to our emails and calls. We finally organised a trip to to view some villas for our reception. From the minute we arrived until the time we left there were problems. The places we went to look at were in the middle of nowhere, were not everything she said they would be either. The villa we did stay at was lovely and the reason we stayed there was because Adina said we could get a cheap deal on it. When we arrived, we were charged an extra 200 euro a night! When we tried to call Adina we could not get her on the phone and it was a nightmare. We needed to be in contact with this woman as we were in a strange country and we had no idea what we were supposed to be doing. She told me to leave everything to her, she would have all the meetings set up, one of the appointments had not been but we managed to get them to show us the villa after travelling so far. We spent a fortune on travel also. She told us to call her after every venue, could never get in contact with her. Alot of other things happened while we were out there but I don't have time to write them all down. What should of been an exciting few days turned into a nightmare. It took us a full two weeks after we got home to get in contact with her, not to hire her obviously, that was out of the question but to ask her about the 600 euro extra we had to pay on accommodation for renting a villa, we had emails to prove the quote she gave us which I also emailed her. We received a text back to say she was sick and that she would be in touch shortly, we never heard from her again. I have to say I was an emotional wreck at the end of it and so was my fiance. The whole point of a wedding planner was to take that pressure off, especially if going to another country. Please don't go through what we went through, it's not worth it or what that poor couple from Dublin went through. There are plenty of great wedding planners out there. "

THIS COMPANY IS NOT GOOD

"Had way too much hassle to even get a call back from them. Didn't use them in the end. "
