ForeScene Events

Married ³⁄₁₅ & can finally write a review of REAGAN SIDNEY/​FORESCENE EVENTS without crying. DONT USE THIS COMPANY! When we contracted for services we had already arranged & made deposits for the majority of our vendors. We hired Forescene Events to coordinate the weekend’s logistics, such as transportation & day of coordination the vendors & wedding party. Everything we trusted Reagan to handle went horribly wrong! Flowers: all the flowers were brown on the edges & looked like they were dying. Second Line: Reagan convinced us to hire her recommended second line band for a Grand Exit. Her band was late & dressed in street clothes for our semi-​formal wedding. Reagan rushed the exit, completely failed to announce to the guests what was happening. Our Grand Exit failed. Our parents & grandparents missed it and will never get to see that! Transportation: Forescene planned all wedding party and guest transportation from New Orleans to our wedding venue; it was a complete failure. The wedding party bus was late to pick us up. Reagan failed to provide guidance for our wedding guests getting picked up by coach buses (SHE arranged) to take them to the wedding. Luckily, the hotel Concierge helped coordinate with our wedding guests — so that they made it to our wedding on time. Reagan’s vendor failed to provide a bus for the bridal party back to New Orleans. Our guests were forced to sit on the bus for an HOUR while we figured out how to make the limited number of buses we had work. Video: Reagan recommended a videographer that «she had previously worked with» Kevin Griffin, owner of 2k Photos NOLA. (Please Review 2k Photos NOLA.) To this day, Kevin is in possession of our money & we have never received our wedding video footage. Kevin was also paid to video the rehearsal dinner but never showed up. This was a vendor that Reagan recommended! Disrespectful & Unprofessional: Reagan was rude & disrespectful to family & other guests. She told my Dad before he was to give his speech to hurry up. While giving the speech another guest overheard Reagan saying that my dad needed to «hurry the (expletive) up.» Guests came to us after the wedding to ask who Reagan was because they thought she was a guest, as she and her employees were seen drinking through out the night. Most of the Forescene staff was unprofessional & wearing inappropriate attire (club wear) for a semi-​formal wedding. We were personally told by some of our vendors that they would refuse to work with her & her company in the future. Aides: I have two elderly grandmothers both in wheelchairs for the wedding day. I told Reagan I was hiring someone to help my grandmothers for the day. Reagan said to save the money on that & she would provide someone. It was important that my Grandmothers could participate & see what was going on. Reagan did not provide this service at all & my grandmothers missed parts of our wedding reception. When we confronted Reagan after the fact, she not only refused to take responsibility for her unprofessionalism & failings, but she actually blamed everything that went wrong on her assistant or others! Not even a sorry! If Reagan was a professional, she would have taken responsibility for her shortcomings & failures, she has not. Reagan is unprofessional, untrustworthy & unreliable. I would NOT recommend her for any event. We feel completely taken advantage of & dont want others to have to go through this. Do NOT use Reagan Sidney or Forescene Events!

Horrible service, did a horrible job at my friends wedding in New Orleans. She brought them dead flowers. Her mom was at the reception enjoying free drinks and food while being extremely rude to the guests. Can’t believe how much they paid this lady. The limo showed up at the wrong house. Complete failure.

I was the Maid of Honor in my sister’s wedding this weekend. Here is a list of things Reagan failed while «coordinating» my sisters wedding:
1. Did not show up to church rehearsal the day before. Same day excuse was she was at the print shop printing signage for the wedding (that should have been done weeks prior IMO).
2. Did not contact the bride or the groom the morning of the wedding. Showed up at 2pm when the wedding started at 6. And showed up with…
3. Dead Flowers and the wrong type of flowers. And the brides bouquet was the same size as the bridesmaids. Hideous. Made us all run around for 1 – 2 hours trying to fix the flowers.
4. Arranged a limo to take us to the church. The limo showed up at the wrong place and then got lost on the way to the right pick-​up place.
5. Forgot to include a very special dance for my father and I after he did the slow dance with my sister. When my sister clearly told her this was something important to us that needed to be included in the dances months before.
6. Came on the Mic to announce something and said «let’s get this dance party started so I can go home.» What the heck — what type of wedding coordinator says that?!?
7. Reagan’s mother was so horribly rude to my husband and I. She kicked my husband out of OUR table when he tried to sit down twice. Then I came up to sit, after having heard how she treated my husband. and she asked if I was part of the wedding party. I said, «yes, I’m the maid of honor and this is my husband so we are going to sit here if that’s ok with you.» She responded back «Oh! I’ve been saving these seats for you all night and this is how I get treated by Miss Huffy.» And continued to mutter under her breath about me. And then continued to linger around drinking, eating and shouting at other guests for random reasons.
… I think that about sums it up.
All in all of course it was a beautiful wedding but NOT thanks to this coordinator, thanks to the bride and groom, and our family and friends and everyone else who helped make it wonderful.
We will all look back on the day and not remember the petty things this coordinator messed up on, but I just like to warn future brides of bad service.
