Scam - do not hire

DO NOT HIRE AMANDA BANKS. Amanda seemed great at first. After depositing $1000 with her, she became totally unresponsive. We tried to reach out to her multiple times through various means of communication, but she never got back to us. Eventually we requested our money back, but we still received no response. Amanda didn’t carry out a single term of our contract and stole our $1000 deposit. This was devastating to us as not only did she leave us scrambling to find someone else to coordinate right before the wedding, we were unable to get our money back to pay our other vendors. Amanda Banks is a heartless scammer. Do not hire her.

Scam artist

Even after having her served for small claims court, she has still not reached out to me and many of her other brides. I highly recommend taking legal action if you are dealing with this as this is NOT ok. After her personalizing a package for me and quoting me, I paid her nearly TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, and since our very first in-person meeting 2 months later, she canceled/didn't show up for every facetime/meeting/phone call. She "had so much info" for me yet couldn't simply email it over. After my fiance having a discussion with her about her POOR effort, she offered me 50% of my money back because she "made a quote for me" (yes I have her saying that on video...didn't know I was getting an invoice from every vendor quoting me🤦) OR to start fresh.... my mistake I tried to start fresh. After speaking to a couple of vendors that she was "reaching out to", I learned she has not been doing that and I called her out for it. She then ghosted me at the end of April 2021...AS we were planning my engagement party food menu for guests coming from 300 miles away. I was not a happy camper but I pulled off the best party without her and her nonsense. Please be aware and BRIDES, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GET MULTIPLE REFERENCES FOR ALL YOUR VENDORS!
