REA Events

Worst appointment ever. I was so frustrated from minute 1. My fiancé and I should have walked out.
1) We met at the wedding café at 4:30 pm. when we arrived she was nice and all. However, China received a phone call that she «needed» to answer. We were like, OK no big deal. She spent over 30 minutes talking to her internet person while sitting with us at the table. Awkward and wasted our time. She got us a drink for each of us, which was nice. ONE STAR!
2) Once we started talking about my wedding date, she said I was looking too early. Saying I’ll be too stressed now to think about it. I wasn’t. I just told her that I’m shopping around, and I just wanted to see things. Why can’t I look? Weddings take planning and money. She went on about it for a while. Advice, maybe… But seriously dont you want my business?
3) she started to get mad and raised her voice once I mentioned I was thinking of blue uplighting. However, I didn’t get to finish my sentence… I wanted to say that I was also thinking of a golden amber. She started to raise her voice and stated that I didn’t tell her about blue up lighting. I told her that I spoke to an assisstant, who asked me what i was thinking about colors. I thought we were just talking about linen. I’m all about taking advice, but I felt she was scolding me. She went on about it for a while. Like a WHILE! We should have just walked out.
4) talks about herself a lot. I’m down to make conversation, but this meeting ended around 8pm. I wanted to end it, but I did not want to meet with her again.

First off, I contacted REA events through email for my initial inquiry. China (the owner) was prompt at calling me back the next day. I was very surprised that she actually reached out to me via a telephone conversation. Throughout our chat, she seemed quite excited about working with me which made me feel great. She told me she was going to get back to me with a quote and photos the next day… A few days go by… Then a week, then 2 weeks still no response. I even followed up with an email to remind her. Still no response. Honestly, I find that very discouraging and unprofessional to not get back to your clients that genuinely want to work with you.

Met with China on October 22^nd. She said she’ll give us a quote once she put together everything that we discussed. We’ve tried contacting her after 2 weeks of not hearing from her but she didn’t bother to respond. Its now December 28 and still not even a text or email from her. We would’ve been fine if they tell us that they don’t want our business. But she can’t even do that coz maybe she’s just toooooooo busy! So freakin un-​professional!!!

China was our event coordinator and designer. What this girl does is amazing… She made our dream wedding come true, the ballroom was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes during our private reveal. I am SOO happy and fortunate to have China and her expertise cover our wedding.
From her extensive timeline, to her superior design skills, to making sure it was a stress free experience… She was wonderful and worth MUCH more than what she requests. She is truly an upscale design and wedding professional.
We are so fortunate to have these wonderful memories to cherish forever. Thank you China, Justin, and the REA team for this unforgettable experience.

China is extremely bad at returning calls, and when I was finally able to schedule an appointment with her at her showroom, she did not show up nor call to explain. Auwe!
