Hate this happened to you. Especially coming from someone in the events industry. Who is it, so we can all beware
Thank you! I know smh. Their IG is thepartystylistevents
@@balloonsbyleeshe removed her IG handle or changed her name 😅😂😅 shame the devil🤷🏽♀️
She disappeared off IG 🤭
Oppp😂😂😂
I am truly sorry that this happened to you.
You really should put her name out there.
It sounds like there was several red flags. Most people think going to court is easy, it is not. In order to receive your judgment, you must know where that person banks at. This is why I would never do event without full payment three weeks in advance. Put her name out there, if she did it to you, she’s going to do it to someone else.
Definitely wasn't a down video, it was an educational video, with a beautiful view of your work. Blessings for sharing your story one we can all learn from ✌🏾🙏🏽
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and support.
So sorry this happened. The balloon design was beautiful! Appreciate your transparency and thanks for the reminders. Yes, stand on your policies.
Yes, stand on policy! It’s lives rent free in my head now lol. Thank you!
This setup is stunning!! This scenario is so disheartening. I know you lost money and, most importantly, your time. However, a valuable lesson was learned. Situations like this are especially disappointing because you know that this isn't how you conduct business and you expect the same level of professionalism from fellow business owners. I heard this a long time ago ... "You can't expect you from someone else." Your creativity and passion for what you do is inspiring. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for continuing to do what you do. We love seeing your work 🙏🏾😊
Wow! I'm incredibly grateful for your kind words. You all are truly amazing individuals, and I appreciate each and every one of you. Subhan Allah! Life is full of high expectations that can sometimes lead to disappointment, but we always learn and keep moving forward.
The balloons are GORGEOUS first of all…
And I’ve got burnt as an event planner.
People don’t understand the curses they put on there kids when you do dirt like this…wondering why things are f’d up in there life.
Thanks for sharing…😊
THIS

I am just obsessed with your work, definitely an aspiration for those starting up! Thank you for this video… a testament we appreciate you sharing!
Wow, thank you! You are so welcome!
As disappointing as this was for you. You’ve shown how incredibly talented you are and above that your humility.
It has just taught you that not every word from people in the industry can be trusted.
As for the the Doctor not even responding,,, that tells u a lot about them all.
Your work is beautiful and I learnt a lot so thank you for sharing. They will reap what they’ve sown.
God bless you continually ❤
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and advice. 🤍🫶🏾
You will be blessed 100 fold . Amazing work!!!!
Thank you so much!
Love your work!! New subscriber.
Thanks for being transparent and putting us on alert.
Thanks for subbing! You’re welcome🤍
Stand on your policy. A bought lesson is a taught one. Great job. I love the balloon artwork. You nailed it. Keep your head up. Don’t sweat it because the event planner hasn’t gotten away with anything. ❤
Absolutely! Thank you so much🤍
Mashala🙌🏾 you still win sister!
You do amazing work.
Blessings
Allahumma Barik. Thanks habiti🤍
Your seeds sown will grow you even further! God has you! Beautiful job!
Thank you so much. All praise to God!
I'm sorry you went through that. That happened to me and I changed everything. When full payment isn't made "DONT SHOW UP!"
Thank you!! Absolutely!
Awesome policy update. Business is business.
Thank you! Indeed!
I'm sorry you had to go through that. You have such a patient heart and kindness to give people the benefit of doubt. I admire and applaud you for how gracefully you went through that whole ordeal. Thank you for sharing your story. It's going to really stick with me to ensure I stick to my own policy ♡
Thank you so much for the kind words! You’re welcome, glad to hear that!🤍
I was waiting on the video of this installion. Sorry to hear this back story. Thanks for the reminder to stand on business every time!. Your work is always Top Tier 🧡
Every time! Thank you so much🤍
Thank you for the heads up, set up was beautiful, i do not have a big thing going , i feel used and its mostly families, i use to wait until i do any event, now i ask for a deposit
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much. Family receive an invoice too I just add whatever discount “I” plan on giving to the invoice.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this. I just had a similar situation. SMH. Your work is amazing!!
You are so welcome! I’m so sorry to hear that, I hope everything worked out!
Beautiful
Thank you
That event planner should be absolutely ashamed of herself. The fact that she intentionally cheated another fellow vendor! She should be outed so this doesn't happen to others. Your work was beautiful and I'm surprised that the actual client didn't respond?? I wonder if she had stiffed the event planner on fees who knows.
Thank you for sharing and yes definitely stand on your policy.
You’re welcome. Thank you so much🤍
God will reward you for being an honest person. She will suffer in the long run. Shame on the client for not responding because it reflects on how they all handle business. If she knew she paid the event planner then she had a part in this as well.
God willing. I agree!
I cant believe this happened to you. It's so unfortunate when bad things happen to such good people. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you nothing but the best in this new year!! XOXO
Thank you so much! Same too you babe!
It's unfortunate that people will take advantage of others, all while ruining their own reputation. You seem to have such a genuine spirit, like why would someone do that?? Lesson learned.
Very unfortunate! Like you said, lesson learned. 🫶🏾
You do such beautiful work
Thank you so much!
So unfortunate!!! You did an Awesome job though!! Thank you for the nuggets of wisdom also. ❤
You are so welcome. Thank you so much for watching🤍
So sorry this happened to you Queen!! So unfortunate and its sick how many people lack integrity! This setup is absolutely stunning per the usual.
Thank you so much babe! It’s disappointing for sure!
Yes, I have a business account with PayPal and never had a problem with them that they haven't taking care immediately... Life lesson Queen bint..
Gorgeous layout🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
Yes they’re good in my books. Barakallahu feeki🥰🤍
Hi Elder Renee and Mr. Johnson!
I'm so happy you posted this. Innour industry, these things happen and no one talks about it. I've been following you for a while...your dope...and did not deserve that....People are wild...
Thank you so much! Yes, I finally decided to give it a go.
Same thing happened to me! I'm more cautious now. Deposit first then FULL payment BEFORE you even consider ordering or inflating one single balloon. The upside is Your installation is Beautiful, you scored a wonderfulI picture from all of this and teaching your followers not to fall into the same situation. Thank you for being so transparent!
I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through this too. It's definitely a tough lesson for all of us, but I'm glad we're learning from it. Hopefully, we can use this experience to make better decisions and grow. You're welcome!
Exactly so important to have your paperwork in place
Absolutely!
Awwwwww niece!! I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is such a beautiful set up. 🔥🔥
Thanks so much Auntie!🤍🫶🏾
Wow!!! Crazy story! Especially about the doctor leaving you on read 🤯
Right?! It really is.
Beutiful!
That's sad! Keep pushing don't let the DEVIL win!
Thank you!
This is stunning!!! Kudos to you, you'll be blessed in return don't worry
Thank you so much! God willing!!
Thanks for all the information. And I’m so sorry that it happened to you and happen to any of us. lessons learned. And by the way, the set up was beautiful as usual.
You are so welcome! It sure can but I’m grateful for the lesson learned and I hope it can help others.
Waoooooooo
You're amazing sis! I love all your work and it's worth every penny and more. This is disappointing. May Allah protect you from bad intentions and keep you on point at all times. Ameen
Ameen! Barakallahu feeki sis🤍
I am so sorry about what happened!😢 I admire that you completed the set up for your business’ sake. I had an almost similar situation from a planner too but not of the same magnitude as you.. but learn to reinforce our policies like you said. You are so talented and do amazing work!
Yes, we’ve to enforce our policies otherwise it means nothing but it’s sad when it’s people in the same industry as us. Thank you so much!!!
I am so sorry that this happened to you. You are AMAZING! You handled everything in a humble and professional manner and God will take care of the rest. Continue to be Blessed!!!
Thank you so much! God is the best of planner!!!
Wow! Sorry you had to experience that! Your balloons were absolutely stunning, as always😍🔥😍. You’re such a talented, professional and kind person, although you may have taken a loss on this event, you will be blessed by the best and your hard work will pay off in the long run.🙏🏽❤️😊
Thank you so much!!🤍🤍🤍
Sorry to hear you went through that thanks for lesson please where did get the long flower centerpiece from
You’re welcome! I’ve no clue I’m sure they were from a local vendor though.
Your work is outstanding. Unfortunately, We all will go through this because our heart is in the right place. Some people just dont have a genuine heart.
So true, thank you so much🤍

Yes!! Absolutely! Thank you so much.
So sorry this happened to you. It’s a shame people out here scammin 🤦🏽♀️ but you continue to stand you your business principles and you will continue to be blessed! Thanks for the transparency.
As always the balloons are 🔥 🔥
Thank you so much!! That’s the goal god willing 🤍
The balloons were beautiful and creative! I’m sorry that incident happened to you.
Thank you so much!
The setup is beautiful ❤️. Your video isn't "down", it's real and informative. This is a part of doing business, unfortunately 😢. Thank you for dealing with this with grace. Remember, the battle is the Lord's and He will repay.🙏🏾
Thank you so much! I appreciate the reminder and support🤍
You handle this situation so well. People can be so cruel. I wish blessing over you. I love your work. This is absolutely beautiful!!! Do u offer any kind of online courses?
You are so kind! Thank you. I don’t at the moment but it may come around in the future. God willing!
Thank you for sharing. You’ve made me rethink some of my policies because this was not right. Question about the Gaff tape? It didn’t cause damage when you removed? I’m so hesitant to use tape. Don’t want to cause any damages.
You’re welcome. Glad to help! No, it typically doesn’t cause damage. I usually use it on the back of backdrops and floors and on the front of backdrops I use clear gaff tape not the black one.
Policy protects you in any adverse situation because they know what to expect if they make a bad decision
Absolutely!!
Gorgeous design! I’m very sorry that happened to you, especially with a large design like that. My discernment definitely would have told me a red flag with so many excuses! That’s very unprofessional on their part.
Thank you so much! So true!🤍
I respect your work ethic and you did an excellent job. I know this happened last year but the planner should not be let off the hook and she should be EXPOSED in every fashion. The full payment within 4 weeks is a bit much but you're doing it based on your experience. Best of luck in your future endeavors..
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate it!
So sorry you had to go through that! I got burned one time with a bounce check from a family friend never got the payment but from that day on I never ever took another check from anyone!!
That's really unfortunate! I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Every experience teaches us something valuable.
Beautiful Setup! But I dont install not one balloon until I'm paid in full... who has time to chase an event planner.. So sorry this happened
Thank you so much!
This is a different venue and client this looks Amazing! Just be careful next time, if client doesn’t show at the Venue before set up, Then no balloons, at least you keep the deposit and make it a big deposit ❤
Thanks for the tip!🤍
Oh no I'm sorry to hear this my friend ❤
Aww thanks babe! I’m good now lol🫶🏾
Sorry for your experience. Thanks for tips! 😊
Thank you! Of course🤍
Choose PEACE as GOD said vengeance is HIS! You are very professional so stay Blessed!
Say that, again!! It’s a constant reminder and struggle but we can’t do nothing compared to what God can do. Thank you love!
Wow this is beautiful! How long did it take to prepare all those balloons? 🎈
Thank you so much. Don’t remember exactly probably 3-4hrs.
Thank you for sharing. I want to go into business eventually and I’m still learning. For clarity, if a client does not adhere to your policy, is the deposit non refundable?
If they do not pay the rest of the payment, do you decide not to render service?
You’re welcome. Yes, the deposit is non refundable. Correct, if final payment is not received services will not be rendered. For real this time lol.
So sorry you had to go through that!
Your setup looks amazing mashallah!
Also, did you try contacting other vendors and see if they had the same issue?!
Alhamduuillah! Thank you. I only spoke to the venue afterwards and they were waiting for a second payment from an additional add-on last minute. They wasn’t trying to share to much information though.
I’m sorry this happened to you the design is beautiful I have one question tho the Gaff Tape is it strong but at the same time does it not pull the paint?
Thank you. Yes, it’s strong I don’t use it on walls mainly on the floor or back of backdrops but because the paint on the pole was rough, I felt more comfortable using the tape.
That's crazy. Let's ride over to the gas station for the ATM machine at that point lol. But I'm not leaving till I get my money 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wowww so sorry you went thru that.
Thank you!
Gorgeous design! So sorry you experienced that! Praying that God gives you double for your trouble!
Thank you so much! Inshaa Allah!!!
I’m learning to have grit when it comes to business. A fellow businesswoman tried to scam me AND blackmail me to give her my product or she would write a bad review that would effect my rating 👿Now I’m no longer taking red flags for granted. Yes, listen to your gut it never lies ❤
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Yes, following your instincts is a good thing.
Sorry that happened to you but vengeance belongs to God. Keep going! Love the balloon setup. Very unique! Do you know how those picture backdrop are assembled? I’m wanting a couple of those for my client event.
Thank you! Yes, I follow a business on IG that does large cutouts. Here’s the link to their website www.haddadevents.com
Do gaff tape take the paint off?
Depending on the paint, I typically use the black gaff on rough surfaces but the transparent gaff I can use on any painted surface without any issues.
Beautiful set up! I'd be mortified if I hired an event planner who didn't satisfy all debts with vendors. There's no way I'd be able to ignore that. You probably weren't the only one she stiffed.
I hope not! Thank you for watching🤍
Hi i just came across this video. What about creating a contract between you and your clients and make them sign the contracts before you start any work for them. Having a policy is great because verbal agreements dont always go well.
Absolutely. I list terms and conditions on the invoice as a form of contract but in this case I didn’t enforce my own policy.
Yes ma’am. This happened to me. I didn’t put this person on contract because I trusted her. I did her wedding decorations at her church AND her balloons for her reception. No deposit. When I showed Up to get paid, she said what are you talking about. I later learned that every vendor was scammed. I immediately changed my policies.
Wow! Not at the church. Smh! So sorry to hear that you had to go through that, as well. Lesson learned though those policies were updated and hopefully enforced next time around. Thanks for sharing your story!
How could someone not want to compensate you for such beautiful work??? 🖤🖤🖤 Humans can be horrible. 😠
Awww thank you so much🫶🏾🤍
So sorry you had to go through this. It’s heartbreaking how a professional from same industry can scam fellow vendors.
That was the most difficult pill to swallow. I would have anticipated it from a regular client before a peer.
Hi
Could you please tell how you attach the balloons to easily onto the wall
May you be granted much success in your business inshallah ♥️
Ameen! Barakallahu feeki. I used the H method using black gaff tape from Amazon.
Gurl, every time I go against my gut. I get burned. Every time. Sorry this happened to you
The gut never lets us down. Thank you!
I love your work!🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
That wasn't God, that was satan the devil himself because God is love.
And don't worry, this is definitely a lesson learned but God will definitely bless you ten fold.
God will definitely repay those people who scammed you.
Definitely a lesson learned Alhamduillah! Thank you so much!
I'm petty. I would keep a permanent post on my page about her scamming self. And she's an event planner??? Embarrassing. Good for you for being the bigger person but I'm sad you had to go through it in the first place. The display is gorgeous and elegant.
LOL! Doing the IG Story was even too much for me it felt like a cloud of negativity. Lol! Ughhh but Yupp an “event planner” well let’s use that title loosely! Thank you babe🤍
YEP! post her Company Name, In Big Bold Letters !!!!! I agree!
That’s not Petty sis! You would be looking out for all balloon artist!!! Smh. This is sad
So true sis!!!!
Great work, not petty but let us do the work for you, post up her information.
I think part of me at a certain point... I would not have put any decor in place if I still had not got the balance.
That part!!
I'd expect more from a doctor too! Although she wasn't the direct customer I would've felt so bad and I would've reached out to the event planner and we would've worked together to get you your money. Because my faith is set up different too! I could never do that to someone. Look at all of this work. All you can do is learn from this.
Expectations get us every time but when your faith is setup different all we can do is learn from it and set new boundaries.
See you are so kind. I would have popped all them balloons.
😂😂😂😂
NEVA EVAAAAA‼️ All Payments due prior to event day. Mine is 3 weeks. If it’s last minute and I’m available.. FULL PMT is DUE to Book. Trust NoBody‼️
Ur work is always so Gorgeous ❤️
Thanks for the info! Aww thank you so much🤍
First, Allah will take care of the persons who did not make the final payment. Next, you have a beautiful soul, don't allow this incident to change who you are. The change in the policy was necessary. Last, the balloon design was BEAUTIFUL! You are very creative. Keep up the great work! May Allah continue to bless
I kept saying to myself, she sounds like she is from Philly! I checked your website, and you are in the Tristate area. I need to find out who the event planner is so I can never use her in the future.
Ameen. Allahumma Barik. Thank you so much. Yes, I’m from Philly lol. It actually was an event planner from FL Alhamduillah.
you should put her name out here so that others will not get scammed by her. She hurt your business, it's not slander if it is true! @@balloonsbylee
@@browngirl6782 I pinned her IG at the top.
Sorry, u had to endure unprofessionalism from an "event planner." No bad deed goes unpunished.
Thank you, I appreciate that! Never, every person will get their just due one day. It’s out of my hands now.
Why not half for deposit across the board
For the clients who reach out well before their event I want to still be able to accommodate them for coming early and I think it’s fair to allow them to put down 25%.
You are so roght. Went through something similar in my industry but it was with a church which made it even more painful. Didn't take them to court. Felt so violates. I had to break. But the lesson is no half stepping with anyone or They Will take advantage.
I’m so sorry you had to experience that especially with a religious institution. Smh! Lesson learned and we move on.
