Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Bay Events based on our experience with full wedding planning.
We paid a lot of money expecting our planner to help execute the vision we had extensively discussed and provided photos for. After the wedding, we discovered boxes of décor and custom wedding items that had never even been opened, including personalized pieces made specifically for our wedding. Party favours weren't put out, children's activities and custom signs weren't set up, flowers remained unopened, table runners weren't used, and our guest-book setup wasn't done as discussed.
A significant amount of food we purchased also wasn't served or used. Our candy table, which I specifically requested be set up before the ceremony, wasn't put out until after the cake cutting.
What hurts most is that everything was there. I provided the décor, equipment and supplies and clearly communicated what I wanted. Had I been told they couldn't complete the setup, I would have brought my own people in and done it myself.
Despite hiring a full planner, I still found myself directing people and worrying about setup around my own wedding. When I raised these concerns afterward, I unfortunately did not feel the explanations addressed why so many planned items were left untouched.
We still had an amazing wedding because of the incredible people surrounding us, but the amount of money, custom décor and food that went unused is heartbreaking. A wedding only happens once — we don't get another opportunity to use those personalized pieces.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend Bay Events for full wedding planning.
