Thread: DOC Vent: Amy Vaught

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Amy'n'Justin11/7
Ok so my wedding is in 6 days! And I CAN NOT get in touch with Amy Vaught, she will not return any of my emails and was supposed to call people that didn't RSVP and confirm with vendors both of which she didn't do. I'm livid right now and I don't know what to do. Has anybody else had a similar issue? I'm kinda freaking out right now... 363 0 0 0 RSVP Date October 20th...

I contacted her on September 2nd, back when I was interviewing planners, and she told me she was not taking new clients. When is the last time you were in contact with her? If you need a backup coordinator just in case you don't hear back from Amy Vaught, feel free to email me at mrsmiller630@gmail.com and I can send you my planner's information. Good luck, I think you have every right to be ...

You should be livid. She similarly half - assed my wedding. She never called, didn't respond to emails. I confirmed with guests and with vendors. She showed up over a half-an-hour late to both the rehearsal and on the day (the first thing she did was ask about her check). I ended up having Kristen Janes bring over stuff from my room to the ceremony site, and having a groomsman hand out tips....

I thought the whole point of hiring a DOC was so that you wouldn't have to worry about stuff like this?!?! I find it completely unacceptable. I would email her and tell her that her services are no longer required and request a refund (if you've given her any money) as she should be responding to you and keeping ALL lines of communication open, especially the week of your wedding. I emailed ...

I also contacted her a few months ago and she told me she is no longer accepting weddings and it sounded like they were closing the business. She gave me the direct phone numbers for some of the girls that worked for her but that was it. I am so sorry that this happened to you! Hopefully you will hear back from her. Feel free to email me at erin_feldm ann@hotmail.com if you want me to send ...

I've got a contract with her for this December. Does anyone know if she is still honoring her current contracts? I just emailed her, and I am waiting for the response. I'm really hoping she pulls through for you Amy.

She's been getting more and more complaints on here and I've heard more than one complaint from IRL friends. From what I understand she really just doesn't give a crap about her clients anymore. Do you have a phone number? I would call her and at the very least leave her a message. If she hasn't done her job you need to insist she provide a full refund. I have the names of a few DOCs (mine, ...

amanda from ladi events is someone who is mentioned a lot on here. unless they are actually bankrupt i think they do have to give you a refund if they have not honored their contract.

Hello Everyone- I hired Amy Vaught recently for my October 3rd wedding. Yes Amy is indeed pregnant with her third child and she is no longer taking any clients for 2010. She is in the process of debating if she will continue the business or not so I think she and her husband are trying to figure out the next steps for their family, the business and the financial well-being of their family. I...

I was really bothered when I heard what happened to you because I think it's really scary and unfair so I emailed my planner and she said that she's worked with last minute situations before, and to email her if you want help, and to tell you that everything will work out so don't freak out! Thinking of you! katie@simplyeventfulparties.com

I hope you get at least half of your money back. Don't be nice at this point. This is not a time for her to be dropping the ball. I called her back in January for my wedding (also this Saturday), and she took several days to respond. At that point I had hired my coordinator, and Amy seemed surprised. She apologized for taking so long, and told me that she had young children which is why she...

I don't actually have a DOA - it's just not in the budget; she sounds awful! I mean, to me...it's all about the communication (just ask my FI - LOL). If she doesn't communicate w/you throughout the most important times (uh, the week of your wedding), and that concerns you enough to where you now need to find the need to find the time to put together an entire list of things for her to do what's the point? I say can...

I want to thank everyone for all the support and advice, you all have truly been wonderful listening to my venting. She just emailed me back and I just don't know what to do. I'm EXTREMELY upset and just feel like I'm in a crappy situation. Thank you all again, I really appreciate it. I will keep you ladies updated on what happens... 363 0 0 0 RSVP Date October 20th

As for the original poster- there are girls that have used Amy's assistants and were extremely pleased (I want to say Annika is one of their names). I used Meg Vanderbaan and loved her- she may be on maternity leave though but she also has assistants. I have a few other leads as well including Christine (a former knottie) who has been getting raves- PM me for her email, I don't want to post it here since it has her last name. 1st...

Ankea- I didn't make an assumption. Based on what Amy said to me when she called me back on my inquiry ("I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you- I have young children"- verbatim!), then I wouldn't say there is any assumption to be made. She made her children her excuse, which is exactly what every working mother I know works hard to NOT make an issue of. Whoops, I ended that last sentence with a...
