Jacksonville – Couples in Jacksonville are coming forward with numerous allegations against Brittney McColgan, the founder of The Anti Bride, a local wedding planning business. Multiple clients report that McColgan mismanaged their wedding arrangements and failed to handle their payments properly, resulting in significant financial losses.
The allegations against McColgan include a complete lack of communication, missed vendor deadlines, and an unwillingness to issue refunds after she backed out of agreements. Clients are expressing their frustration, reporting that they have lost thousands of dollars in deposits and payments.
Alyssa Yates and her wife Rachel are among the couples who faced problems after hiring The Anti Bride for their wedding plans. They paid a deposit of $3,569 for their wedding scheduled for December but lost contact with McColgan several months ahead of the date. Yates attempted to reach out to one of their wedding vendors—a DJ—only to learn that McColgan had not communicated with him since June and that there was no contract or payment secured for their event.
Genevieve McMillen is another client who reported issues with McColgan’s service. McMillen paid a $4,000 deposit in July for a wedding planned for March. After taking steps to seek a refund that included threatening legal action, McMillen eventually received her money, but the process took two months.
Reviews for Kissing Tulips present a mixed picture; some customers offer positive feedback, while others echo the complaints made by previous clients in relation to The Anti Bride. Yates reaffirmed her focus on receiving a refund rather than an apology, indicating her dissatisfaction with the situation.
