Hired on Thumbtack

We were really disappointed in the service provided. We hired 2 event professionals to help set up our wedding and were promised experienced professionals with the ability to execute our vision. They charged over $70 an hour for two people, came 40 minutes late for the set up and according to our coordinators on site did not do even a fifth of what they were contracted for. Thankfully we had many other volunteers from our friends and family that were helping out that day that took over and did the work that we hired this company for. I would like to please have a chance to speak about this and see what happened and what can be done so that I can have more clarity.

We are apologizing for the inconvenient!! From what our staff report they could not do properly the job cause the coordinator were absent 1) they sent them all over the place to do everything expect of what they were contracted for, we apologize for the lateness but our staff also reported that they stayed for 55 minutes mor .. coordinator didn’t properly communicate with us one will tell us to do this the other will do that we had an. Hard time communicating properly..
