Samantha Jackson Weddings Samantha Jackson Hosted bridal fair then canceled event and kept money paid for both. Miramar Beach, Florida Florida
This event planner also hosts bridal fairs. She solicited vendors for her Destin Bridal Boot Camp to be held July 26, 2016 at the Beach House Restaurant in Sandestin, Florida and then canceled the event 24 hours before it was to be held. She kept all monies paid for the booth as well as tickets sold to brides wishing to attend. Besides money lost for the booth fee, we lost monies paid for supplies needed not to mention lost time getting ready. This woman has complete disregard for her vendors /clients . Her dishonesty reflects her lack of concern for others. I would strongly recommend anyone considering her services to take this into account as I consider her a very dishonest person. We feel like we were scammed and have been told that she has done this before. Do not do business with Samantha Jackson weddings unless you want to get ripped off!

miscarriage/rescheduling of event

I did have a death in the family. I had a miscarriage. I went to the hospital. I have not have several deaths in the family, so I am not sure what this vendor is talking about. My dog died in April and I still had my event. However, with the miscarriage, the doctor put me on bed rest and I had a fever and I was not physically and emotionally able to have the event. I do not think "the show goes on" in this case. I have had vendors many times tell me that they have various emergencies and I have always tried to work with them and never charged them if they needed to be in another event. I would think as a woman, someone would understand this. I am shocked and amazed at the behavior of some people. Compassion for others goes a long way. Obviously, this person has no compassion for others. I offered the vendor the opportunity to participate in a future event. I really hope something like this does not happen to the original poster. Maybe then, they would understand.

Ms Jackson's rebuttal that there was a death in the family does not justify the cancelling of such a large event. She promised brides that there would be $2,000.00 in door prizes representing 40 vendors. In her cancelation e-mail, Ms. Jackson added " and I also have a high fever " and that is when my BS meter went off. Talking to other angry vendors, we discoved that Ms. Jackson has had several deaths in the family and has done this before. I flew out from California to help my daughter with this event. As a business woman myself ( over 40 years ) regardless of what is happening in my personal life, " the show must go on " . Especially when you are backing out on such a large group of people. Ie: I not only spent the last week with my mother as she passed away ( non-stop as she was at deaths door for 6 days ) I met with a client the NEXT day and another the day after that all the while planning her funeral as well. Her flim flam excuse does not wash and I do not believe her.
It was clear that Samanth Jackson was not prepared for this event and made an excuse at the last minute to back out with complete disregard for her vendors and brides. Shame on her! Works well under pressure? I think not.

Event was cancelled and will be reschedulled due to death in the family. The above vendor is being unreasonable, since they were offered a spot in a future event. This situation is beyond my control.
