Seems like she was just trying to take my mind off of the fact that this wedding that was planned a year and 3 months prior, not to mention how little she had to do, since I provided pretty much every detail needed, and empty offers for 'Open Positions' which are conveniently mentioned during our wedding, after so much had gone wrong.Experience an exemplary French-inspired fine dining experience in one of the best restaurants in Victoria, British Columbia.

Later to inquire about this 'Open Position' she was pretty full of, well you know and never emailed me back even after I sent her emails. I mentioned to Misty at our food tasting that I would love to get in this line of business and help with couples and special events like this, funny thing she mentioned a 'Possible Administrative Open Position' during my wedding. The Artisan Hotel and staff were amazing and we did end up having an amazing day of our dreams, but only because we chose to not let this lady ruin our day. The tables weren't in order, candles weren't lit, and Misty brought a whole level of stress we wouldn't have had with a more competent and organized person. Misty then pulled me aside when the wedding party began taking pictures and told me there was a problem with the seating arrangements, which I emailed her a week and half before the wedding. The chapel was extremely hot which made this moment so very uncomfortable, no one fixed it. Misty promised us help and a wedding coordinator along with help from the General Manager from the Artisan by noon, NO ONE HELPED US OR SHOWED UP FROM THE ARTISAN UNTIL 2:30pm, the wedding starts at 4pm!!! And they wanted us(the wedding party) to set up our center pieces, when they didn't even have the tables set up yet at 3:30pm Misty was in the center of this all not allowing my wedding party or my step daughter to enter the dining room to set up because Misty said they needed to figure out the table set up. Misty tried to fix her mistake by allowing us to use the library at the Artisan, and getting us into our suite early which helped, except later it was on us to drag all of our stuff to the suite, again unnecessary. So last minute back up plans were put to work on our part adding much unnecessary stress we didn't need. Misty was suppose to book a room for me the night before the wedding at the Artisan, she forgot. You would think after a wedding that was in the works for over a year they would have had it together, THEY DIDN'T!!! She was great up until we paid our wedding off, then she became a total nightmare. We went through probably 3 different coordinator and Misty stuck with us the longest.
