My daughter and I worked with Lauren Chumbley in planning my daughter’s wedding. The wedding was postponed for a year due to the pandemic, so we really got to know Lauren. She was wonderful to work with, completely understood my daughter’s vision for the wedding, and went out of her way to make sure the wedding was magical. Lauren was organized and quickly responded to all our questions. We were beyond pleased with the stationer, photographer, band, and each of the vendors Lauren recommended. And best of all, on the day of the wedding, Lauren handled everything so that my daughter and I could relax and enjoy a stress-free day. Several guests commented on how smoothly everything went and how Lauren seemed to be everywhere at the same time. Thanks to Lauren, my daughter’s wedding was perfect!
We worked with Cherese Bishop from Eclipse and she was PERFECTION!!!! She was so on top of everything, in contact with everyone all the time, had answers to all of our questions promptly, and made our wedding day a truly magical and stress free experience. Our guests have even mentioned how amazing she was throughout the day! Her personality is amazing and she was such a friendly face to have around on the best day ever!!
Kristi from Eclipse Event Co. was amazing through the process of helping our daughter get through the process of al the rescheduling her wedding because of COVID.
Their wedding was everything she was wanting it to be. Everyone has told us that it was the most spectacular wedding they ever attended. As I told Kristi, it was obvious that her relationships with her vendors has been nurtured. The vendors for their wedding were amazing. Truly an amazing evening.
Amy Bay is one of the hardest working and kindest people you will ever meet. She is a huge asset to the planning process and helps her couples feel completely at ease knowing that she has everything under control. On the wedding day she is cool under pressure helping take care of all the little details which allows her couples to relax, enjoy their day and be fully in the moment. When it comes to finding a great wedding planner, you cannot go wrong by hiring Amy!
I Love Amy Bay! I have worked with her a bunch as a photographer and she has super happy clients because she is overly attentive and has so much attention to detail. Every time I have worked with her everything goes smoothly and just as it has been provided in the timeline. She Sends out the timeline weeks before and goes over it with with vendors multiple times to make sure everything goes off without a hitch and it goes just as scheduled and planned every time. I love Amy she's a super hard worker and a total sweetheart she just wants to make the clients day perfect for them.
Im lucky to get to work with her so often and making all of the vendors jobs easier so we don't have to worry about anything going wrong and we can just excel in our expertise.
I highly recommend hiring Eclipse!
This wedding was planned by her mother who professionally runs large events all over the U.S. The bride and mother decided to hire a Day-Of coordinator to help alleviate the stress on day of since they had everything planned so perfectly down to every little detail. They decided coordinator Amy Bay. I am absolutely disgusted with the professionalism, execution, and attitude that Amy Bay and her assistant (That never introduced herself) had. Amy complained constantly to the bride of the start time of rehearsal, claiming that everyone would be late. Come day of, the entire party is early, but who is late? Amy Bay. She barely instructed is at all and had no planned, told us to just walk down and walk back. Then she disappears. A few hours go by and around 1pm or so she texts the bride, when she had specific instructions to contact mother, MOH, or literally anyone else on the day. She asked the bride, “Is the ballroom decorated yet?” To which bride response “that is your job to know”. If she would have actually read the EXTREMELY detailed timeline provided to her, which she forwarded out to the bridal party, she would have known at that moment the bride was getting her hair and make up done. Photos were to start at 2:30. Still no sign of Amy Bay or her “assistant”. Still nowhere to be found. After we are done with photos I have a bridesmaid come up to me and say that she say the coordinator sitting down and doing nothing when the ballroom looked nothing like the instruction she was given on the morning. I head up where Amy and her assistant were just standing by a table, it’s 4pm now, the wedding starts at 5. No tables in the cocktail area had been set up. The table cloths were thrown on and not straight or tucked m. She failed to hand out the wedding programs, they were no where to be seen, she failed to block the isle off so when the wedding party walked we had to be very careful of bumps that others created. She set out the bridal portrait before the ceremony so every guest coming in saw her dress before hand. She did not guide anyone to the sign in book. Majority of guests missed it. As we were heading inside for dinner, we noticed that some name tags were put in the incorrect spot. She had a diagram to follow,
. When the head table was dismissed to be first for dinner, the assistant got in line with us… again, very unprofessional and awkward. At one point the bride tried to look for her to ask for the air to be turned down and she was eating and only responded with “I’m eating” and was dismissed. For remainder the reception her and her assistant hid in the ceremony room. She was not properly prepared for any situation. A guest broke the strap to her shoe and she gave them TAPE to tape their foot on it! A bridesmaid needed her dress to be pinned up and just stood there handing me pins while I got down and did it. I broke the back straps to my dress while dancing and she offered me a zip tie… had no needle and thread. No additional buttons. The PHOTOGRAPHER ended up coming in and pinning my dress on for me. I don’t know if she just assumed this would be an day where she could do no work and get paid an astronomical amount of money for the day. She also charged the most out of any vendor for rescheduling. This associate is an embarrassment to the company. I truly hope the company addresses the poor performance and lack of professionalism. I will be encouraging any future brides to seek another company.
