This is the guy criticizing Ed, look at the photos and judge yourself if the tropical flowers looked like weed, and if he was "unhappy" at all. Flickr: caribbeanweddingsdr's Photostream seems very happy to me. The food cost was twice the budget and no surcharge was applied. It just doesn`t work, people just want more and more.

The flowers in these pictures are of the flowers WE HAD TO GO AND PURCHASE THE DAY OF THE WEDDING! These are NOT the flowers that the florist brought. Unbelievable that you would distort the truth like this. Writing a poor review of a company is not a smear compagin. It is merely providing a poor review. Of course we looked happy in the pictures, we were getting married!
Exactly why I posted the negative experience with Dominican Republic Weddings by Golden Treasures. I don't want anyone else to have to go through the same thing we did with their poor services. That is my opinion.
Their caterer was very good though, I will give their caterer credit! The food was excellent and the wedding cake was wonderful.

Offensive usernames
Whoever started this thread on me must be a nut case. Obviously the moderator at DR1 should recognize that a username calling us names is spamming a forum with the intent to cause damage, thank God we are known to be a serious player in the island since coming to the North coast in 2004.
A respectable person would use real names and specifics, and deal with a court of law instead of trying to blackmail and threaten businesses, then use unrealistic forum comments. The wedding planner is a gift to my wife and has been quite successful, providing the services paid for by couples.
I will require that DR1 shows its integrity and eliminate any usernames obviously offending a respectable member of the community that works very hard each day to make the DR a better destination, and that benefits everybody. My office is open to everyone that might need to see proof that we are honest about our job, anytime.
I did send the thread to all my past guests and friends, because I`m not afraid of a sick person that we served well more than half a year ago and now tries to spread hate because we stood firm on our principles.
Mr. Andrew Horan is not using his real name because he`s afraid I will be in the States and will send my lawyer knock his door. If he was truthful he should not be afraid, let the courts decide if you have the integrity or reason to call us dishonest. I apologize to Katie but Andie left me no choice, he has acted like a dumb fool.

maniac man
The florist serves 90% of the weddings in the area, nobody will ever believe you that you replaced all the flowers. Same percentage of staff everywhere said you were making everybody nervous, like a maniac. You don`t let others do their job, always on top of everyone. Where did the flowers she placed go? did you magically disappear them?
Start living life, today.

Wedding planner in Sosua
Edward, you are right, it was a poor decision on my part to use that inappropriate user name. However, that does not change the fact that I am merely writing a poor review of your services.
1. When we reached the resort the Manager tried to warn us that she had not heard from you and that you had not provided any names of your vendors. I thought she was being rude, however I later realized she was trying to protect us (her customers).
2. The flowers that your vendor brought were in fact used in the arrangements, the daisy looking flowers she brought were incorporated with the beautiful exotic flowers that my family member had to go and purchase immediately prior to the wedding (I believe that we paid an addition 4,000 pesos to improve the flowers from an outside vendor.)
3. The judge being late was not your fault. We were pleased with his interpreter, she was very helpful.
4. Your photographer/videographer who was late provided extremely unsatisfying product. Poor lighting, shaking, unfocused, horrible sound. If you disagree I can post a copy of the video so that viewers can see the quality of his work. I also know that there is a boquet of the "weedy" looking flowers in the raw video that we have as further proof as to the quality of the florist.
5. The caterer did a nice job. We were satisfied with her.
6. What you call blackmail was merely my husband trying to receive compensation in the manner of a discount on services for the poor quality we experienced. This is not an uncommon thing when customers are unsatisfied. I didn't expect everything to go 100%, nobody is perfect and things don't always go as planned, however what we experienced was extremely disappointing.
7. You owe your apology to Andrew not to me as I am the one who has posted negative feedback regarding your services. He had NOTHING to do with it. I'm sure when your lawyer speaks to ours that will be cleared up. The negative feedback is in no way an attempt to smear your name. It is merely stating my opinion on your services so that people who are considering using wedding planning services will have information to go by.
8. At the end of the day all I can say is that I am blessed to have married the man of my dreams. I wish it could have been less stressful and we could have beautiful memories in the form of the professional video we paid for and better quality photos but your vendors were not able to come through.

case closed
Thank you Katie for clearing things up, I did want to say that Andrew called me and I told him not to do anything until I arrived, which was not done at all. If a vendor has to replace anything, we are the ones to handle it, not the guests.
Had Andrew asked me with no ill tone, I`d give him anything, but I didn`t like his tone and what he said he`d do, ask around and they`ll tell you if I`m a fair person or not. This is my one and only time someone calls me names.
Sad but true, all the previous and following weddings were close to 100% as planned, no delays and no grave errors. The florist has excellent reviews, and the good photographer was challenged by the poor beach lighting, because of the judge missing the sun down perfect timing.
The same photographer had a wedding in Cofresi with a real bad storm and he turned it into a dream wedding. I understand if Andrew likes to handle things himself, I noticed. He`s a good man and I`m glad he married a beautiful and smart woman, this is not a compliment, just a realistic assessment.
I offer you a free weekend in a beach resort if you choose the DR on your first anniversary, and fine champagne to celebrate life as happily married.
The healthiest response to life is joy.
