My family hired Evantine Design to decorate our wedding. We asked if he could do a nice job for a cerain budget and he said yes. So we put down a deposit until he was to give us the itemized contract at what the company calls a ""black box"" event. Well, they put this off as late as possible and five weeks before our wedding, showed us what they intended to do for our center pieces and decor which came out to over double the amount we had budgeted for the event! What made it worse, is that the plastic centerpiece vases were just rentals!!\r
Melissa Paul, a wedding planner we had hired merged with Evantine design midway into our wedding planning. After we refused to sign with Evantine, she backed out of her contract a month before the wedding. So a month before the wedding, no planner and no decorator but somehow we were better off.
Pros: Parking at the warehouse
Cons: Overpriced, snobby
