need to rant or I'm gonna hit someone
What awful stories! I had offered to help someone just starting out to help in some way and then post a good review, with pay of course. So, she started off all gung ho, and then...crickets. If I would have written her a review, which I didnt, it would have been pretty bad!

Ugh! so sorry you're going through this! Agreed -- I'd never hire a friend. First off, I don't like exchanging money with friends in high amounts, and second they feel like since they are likely charging you less since you're a friend that they can blow you off for a higher paying job and you'll understand. Glad it's working out with other vendors though!

That was my first rule when planning my wedding. (to not hire friends). Everyone kept asking me why didn't I ask so and so to do this or that. Unfortunately, sometimes friends aren't professional because of the relationship. Glad everything worked out for you.
