"STAY AWAY! I want to save you the biggest migraine and your money, do not hire Pura Stephens. She literally scammed me out of almost $2000. I had to file a lawsuit against her to receive my reimbursement since she didn't return it all, and I'm happy to say, that the Judge granted the case in my favor and I received a Judgment against her and her company!! I hired Pura Stephen because she was on my venue's preferred vendor list. In July 2016, the venue confirmed she is no longer is a preferred vendor and they have since taken her off their list. Which, should tell you something. I started to lose my patience with her because I was irritated at the fact on how disorganized she was. I'd assume in order to be a successful coordinator, you'd need to have a little organization. I think she grew her company too big at once without the help she needed. So, why am I so unhappy? It's quite a laundry list: At first she was so responsive. I met her at her office, we talked about all of the things that we were planning for the wedding. Then nothing. I would email her and it would take so long to respond. I was thankful that in the beginning she helped me get in touch with my caterer. But this was literally the first few days after I hired her. I also rated low because when I had talked to my caterer on the phone, I confirmed with them what they needed for my wedding reception (in terms of rental items). I had it all covered. I emailed Pura telling them what the caterer said and she responded saying she'd follow up. She contacted me a few days later via email and stated that I needed to order a bunch of stuff for the caterer. I was so angry from being pulled around and reconfirmed with the caterer, and they didn't need of the things she told me. I would have rented so much stuff that wouldn't have been used. Not cheap stuff either: her email included the following items: 1) *Six* tables for the caterer 2) two black rectangle floor drape 3) 4 black linens (no idea where black came from) 4) a culinary tent 5) 1 grill station; I'd assume that this would cost approximately $750-$1000 extra."

"Julian and Coco have experience but lack in organization and professionalism. They did my wedding last summer and I am still dealing with mishaps from their behalf. Unfortunately, they only answer my calls and emails if it's from an unrecognized number. It's such a shame considering I worked so closely with them for so many months. I would not recommend this company to anyone!"
