I would NOT use Weddings with Panache out of Bermuda. The woman I had contact with was named Ginny. Unfortunately I had a terrible experience. We determined about 8 weeks ahead of the date that we were going to get married in Bermuda, and I spoke to several wedding planners. Ginny got back to me consistently during the sales process and I decided to move forward with her. Virtually as soon as I signed the contract and sent the deposit, she went radio silent and I ended up having to cancel her less than a month before the wedding and plan the entire thing myself. I couldn't get her to reply to emails, she didn't communicate or show up to phone calls that I scheduled, and she didn't return my voicemails. The few vendors that she had contacted did not have committed contracts and she had given them incorrect information about my expectations. I ended up planning my entire wedding within that short timeframe. Even the vendors who had been in contact with her made similar comments about her lack of responsiveness and follow up. I also tried to put her in touch with my mother and mother in law to plan things like the hotel and dress rehearsal, and they actually came back to me and told me that they could not get a response. The entire thing ended up being a stressful disaster. Of the few vendors that she had originally contacted that I kept and re-negotiated with, a third that we kept were AWFUL (we kept 6). The violinist that she said was top notch no showed on the day of the wedding, and the private fishing charter that she had raved about didn't offer my fiance fishing, didn't provide the drinks I requested, and was late to pick all of them up. Overall, I would not recommend this group. I was disappointed in about every way possible.
