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.
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
WAS
NEEDED‼️
🤜🏾🤛🏽
That part! I’m sorry to hear that, lesson learned for sure though. Thank you for watching🫶🏾
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!
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'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!
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!

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!🤍
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🤍
Wow!!! Crazy story! Especially about the doctor leaving you on read 🤯
Right?! It really is.
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. 🫶🏾
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 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🤍
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!!!
Your seeds sown will grow you even further! God has you! Beautiful job!
Thank you so much. All praise to God!
Love your work!! New subscriber.
Thanks for being transparent and putting us on alert.
Thanks for subbing! You’re welcome🤍
The set up was beautiful. Sorry you had to go through that, but lesson learned only makes you and your business stronger.
Yes!! Absolutely! Thank you so much.
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🤍
Absolutely beautiful setup!! Amazing work!!
Thank you very much!🤍
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!
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!
Wow!! OMG!! I am sorry that happened to you! Thanks for the warning… I’m TO easy…
Oh my God, good for you to collect the payment in full 2 weeks prior 👍🏼, may God give you mich more than you s[end in there inshaAllah 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ameen! Thank you so much🤍
stunning great work always,
Thank you so much !
You do such beautiful work
Thank you so much!
Absolutely Stunning workk!!!
Thank you so much!
Awwwwww niece!! I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is such a beautiful set up. 🔥🔥
Thanks so much Auntie!🤍🫶🏾
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!
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.
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 🤍
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!🤍
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.
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.
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🤍
Just saw the job on IG and it is fire girl!!! Amazing job.. So sorry this happened to you,,
lol! Thank you so much babe!🤍
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.
The balloons were beautiful and creative! I’m sorry that incident happened to you.
Thank you so much!
Waoooooooo
Beautiful 😍
Thank you
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.
How could someone not want to compensate you for such beautiful work??? 🖤🖤🖤 Humans can be horrible. 😠
Awww thank you so much🫶🏾🤍
Beautiful
Thank you
Your work is beautiful but reaching out to the doctor I wouldn't have because she went through the person who didn't pay you and me all my work would have come down when I didn't receive the money to stand on your business and work as well as time consuming ❤
Say that, again! Thank you!🫶🏾
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
Beutiful!
That's sad! Keep pushing don't let the DEVIL win!
Thank you!
I'm sorry that happened to you. That's very unfortunate. I believe they will reap what they did. They could have been professional about it. I agree, you should enforce the policy.
Absolutely! Policy means nothing if we don’t enforce it!!! Thank you!
@balloonsbylee Your work is some of the best I've seen. Keep doing what you do. Many blessings to you. I enjoyed watching your videos/content.
@@junebrown7706 thank you so much🫶🏾
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🤍
If I didn't have my money the day of the event, I wouldn't hang one balloon!!! Get your things and leave. Keep the deposit! She never intended to pay you! You didn't have your money three days before the event, why did you blow up the balloons? Excuses are warning signs!!! Pay attention!!! I would have popped every balloon 🎈 at the baby shower!!! They belonged to you! Post her picture!!! People are horrible! Don't give people the benefit of the doubt! Live and learn!❤
Absolutely!
Thank you for the “heads up!”
You bet!
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.
Here's my policy...full payment is due 14 days before the event. Non payment= no product(s) + no delivery + no installation from the balloon company( us). No exceptions.
Awww thank you! I appreciate it so much.🤍
Oh no I'm sorry to hear this my friend ❤
Aww thanks babe! I’m good now lol🫶🏾
If they are a new customer it’s PayPal or no business 🎀
I tell my customers that PayPal not only protects me as a seller but you as a buyer
Absolutely!
Wowww so sorry you went thru that.
Thank you!
I'm so sorry this happened to you 😢 that's not okay by any means 💜
Thank you!
Where are you located
Philadelphia
We decorated a hotel room for a client and she was pleased with our work. A few days later she filed a dispute and PayPal. They did investigate and confirmed that her claim was in malice. We were protected.
I’m sorry that happened to you. Glad to hear you were protected though. Good thing about this business we take lots of pictures so the proof is there to show.
The client will see you reap what you sew
Absolutely!
The client was lame. If it was my event I would of at least responded. I mean it w wasn't between you guys but still.
At least but I guess our expectations are too high these days.
I bet you are not the only vendor that didn’t get paid!!
Smh!
This is terrible. I am so so sorry you had to go through this!
Thank you love! I appreciate you!
I would never finish the job. Now you don’t have no babyshower
😂
No. Business to business doesn't work like that. Red flags immediately. Event Planners have several means to make payments because we are paid from our clients. It's terrible that this happened to you. When she started the shenanigans, that's when I would have told her that I was booked by another client with full payment. I would return her money that I confirmed receiving after 60 days. 🤔
Absolutely! When it comes to business to business transactions, it's crucial to set the bar high. Thanks a bunch!
I couldn’t focus with the music and mouth popping .. either way my company final pay due two weeks prior I don’t take anything less that three weeks
Mouth popping is super irritating OMG
Sorry that happened to you. Consider full payment one month before event. Unfortunately you cannot trust anyone when it comes to money.People want luxury but want to Pay little to nothing. No full payment, no work!
Absolutely! Thank you so much!
RAYNE would NOT have received service for that day!!! 😂 Sorry absolutely NOT SORRY! 😒
LOL! I’m crying 😂 Okay! Seriously. The things we would change only if we knew SubhanAllah.
The grass ain't greener on the other side there is a lot of people want quality parties and dont have the money to afford but think they can scammed the ones they think are so sweet and kind... Just because she a doctor dont mean nothing the grass ainr greener on the other side...
That’s so true, you right about that! Smh!
You need to ask the court to put out a judgement on her. Then you can hire someone to find the money. You may not end up with much in the end but the principle of it all. Id put that judgement on her.
Thank you so much. The judgement was put out already.
Are those your children?
No, nephew and niece🤍
Wow! How petty of this doctor. I think I would take her to court. It seems that ultimately it would be her responsibility, because she hired a scam event planner. At the very least, she is ethically and morally responsible.
I'm glad you changed your policy. Remember this... Even for the small events: if you don't have the money, don't get it. Everyone is confined by a budget. If they can't pay 50%, they can plan simpler decorations or DIY like the rest of us.
Beautiful design on your part, but I think so the life-size posters are tacky.
Ethically and Morally🙌🏾 that’s the same thing I was thinking. LOL at the posters
She didn’t have the funds in the first place
😂
See I'm just petty I would had somebody get that event planner for fake event then that Doctor I would had been at her office everyday
Lol! Not at the office 😂😂😂
So sorry
Thank you!
I would of showed up to that event early and snatched all my designs down due to non payment, i bet she pay next time smh just sad but karma is b....acon double cheeseburger lol
LOL!
So wait you never got paid
Only received the initial deposit not the final payment.
I took balloons classes, And always mention never work with Event planner< I had few contacting me I always decline, They are the worst people to work with
I can attest to this now. Sucks one bad apple can ruin the whole bunch.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. But you have rules in your business, so don't lie to yourself. Stick to your own rules.
Thank you so much! Absolutely!!!
Sorry this happened 😢
Thank you!🤍
She probably owed paypal
True!
Wow, talk about l9ng and drawn out story. Sorry this happened to you, but the flags were there all along. This is the lesson.
Thank you for watching🤍
As an Event planner she wouldve been banned from booking with me again 🥹🥹💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽.. periodd
lol!
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.
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.
This was very beautiful. You’re better than me ,I would have left the client. Because at the end of the day this is business.
Thank you. Lol! I understand!!
So sorry to hear of this unfortunate situation. Glad you were able to handle it . The Balloon installation looks great!!
Thank you so much! 🤍
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!🤍
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.
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. 🤍🫶🏾
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.
Policy protects you in any adverse situation because they know what to expect if they make a bad decision
Absolutely!!
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!
