    We decided to pay $1,950 to have Royal ********* organize our ceremony so I would have a less stressful wedding by not having to plan everything myself. Unfortunately, almost everything went wrong with our wedding events as Royal ********* did not follow the details listed in the contract. Royal ********* uses a company called The Wedding Experience organize their weddings and then you get an on-board coordinator ***** once you are on the ship.First, *** messed up our specialty dinner and didn't know we were supposed to have dinner at Chops on 8/27/23. Our wedding cake was also supposed to be served there and it was not there. The restaurant manager put her on the phone and she told us we weren't' supposed to be there until the night of our wedding, but she was the one who didn't read the contract.On 8/31, our chocolate covered strawberries came to our room with the champagne. Our contract specifically says to deliver our champagne to our ceremony so we can have a toast. *** again acted like we had the details wrong. She asked me to show her my contract. I went to her office and showed her on her copy of the contract where it stated to have the champagne delivered to our wedding. She said she didn't read the bolded notes.When *** read our traditional vows, we were not told to exchange our rings so we did it on our own before the end of the ceremony. It was awkward. Overall, this was such a disorganized wedding and I would have only paid maybe a couple hundred dollars for this shotty wedding.On 9/15, we were given a small offer which we declined. We are hoping to either get a refund, partial refund, or perhaps a free cruise. Although I'm not sure I want to cruise with Royal again. And to make matters worse, no one will respond now. Royal Caribbean tells us to call Royal Weddings at the Wedding Experience and their Director, ***, has been ignoring us for 3 weeks. Our initial contact ****** will also no longer respond so we are unable to escalate our concerns.

    If I could give this company 0 stars I would!!!I am having my wedding aboard a cruise this summer and have been working with The Wedding Experience company to plan my big day. This was supposed to be the happiest time of my life, and I was eagerly anticipating planning my wedding until I started working with The Wedding Experience company. Unfortunately, my experience with them has been extremely disappointing. I have never encountered such unprofessional and unethical behavior from a company. They have been dishonest and deceitful throughout the entire process.Despite paying nearly $3,000 for their services, they have been unresponsive, unaccommodating, and outright rude. Given my full-time job, I asked my mother to assist by calling the company during the day to get answers to some questions I had. However, they refused to speak with her and wouldn't even take her calls, insisting on communicating with me directly. This has made the planning process incredibly stressful and difficult.With just two weeks until my big day, I have been informed that this company has been fired from working with the cruise ships. This news has added to my anxiety and frustration, leaving me uncertain about the status of my wedding plans. I strongly caution against engaging with this company! I am adamant about receiving a refund of my $3,000!!
