Clients, please be advised that if you have booked Quinnettra Spivey Blackshear for services- you will need to locate a new decorator. Ms. Quinn spray painted my building. Then she was supposed to pick her items at midnight on Saturday- Instead when I arrived Sunday morning, the banquet room was still completely decorated. 2 very large backdrops, linens everywhere, trash everywhere. I heard the decorator CONFIRM she would be back at midnight to clean up her decorations. There was no miscommunication. She arrived at noon the next day- While another party was trying to set up their own party 😭😭 Upon arrival, she threw her balloon garland outside and I asked her to pick up the balloons she left in the parking lot. I came to her again when I realized she left the ballons on the ground around the dumpster. Not popping the balloons is annoying, but painting the building and leaving balloon trash is just downright disrespectful.
I spent 4 hours treating her items with care, taking her linens and placing them in a pile for her to pick up, stacking her chargers, carefully setting aside expensive centerpieces and dumping out vases filled with water and candles. If this was just a matter of miscommunication or an emergency, I would have 100% helped in any way that I could. I've gone out of my way to help so many decorators who couldn't come back to pick up things at a certain time... and all I've seen today is people attack me for expecting my building to be treated with care. For expecting my party today to be able to come in and be allowed to decorate on time and without obstacles. Today has been very eye-opening- I am booked through mid February and will be closing my doors after that event.
