Milestone Events

Always a pleasure working with these folks.

I’m not sure how Milestone Events can get high reviews on this website. If you do not want to be stressed out by your wedding planner, Tanya (owner of Milestone Events), I’ll suggest you only hire her on the day of and do not sign up for the wedding planning package!
My wedding was on June 18, 2011. We hired the owner, Tanya, to be our wedding planner at the end of 2010. I had really bad experiences from this company. I hope my feedback can help bride-​to-​be.
Below is the list of my experiences.
1. Every vendors, including herself (decoration & wedding invitations etc.) cost way more than what you can find outside. Our wedding package includes vendor referal/​negotiation, but we did not use any vendors she suggested and ended up hiring all the vendors ourselves.
2. Tanya disappeared few times! The last time she disappeared was the most serious one. Few weeks before the wedding day is the most stressful period for a bride. We’ve been trying to email her and call her more than 10 times, but got ZERO response at all for 2 weeks! We sent out a final email that threatened her we will seek for legal action against her company if she took our payment and does not want to do her job. She called me back next day and told me her dog dead etc etc. We all know they’re the excuses as she’s been doing throughout the year. We paid her and did most of the wedding planning ourselves. In order to find her, it stressed me out even more.
3. We had the rehearsal one week before the wedding day. She was half an hour late! She came with the t-​shirt and sweat pant. Very unprofessional!
On the wedding day, Tanya and her team were not bad. If you really want to hire her, just hire her for the wedding day. Don’t waste your money and energy to hire her for wedding planner or you’ll end of doing everything by yourself.
