Disappointment

She stated that the company's negligence and lack of communication led to several issues at her daughter's wedding, including the coordinator Peggy not attending the wedding and the wedding dress being left in an unlocked room overnight. The reviewer also noted that the company failed to make arrangements to send the couple's cake home as planned.
