LA BLISS EVENTS CALL OUT:



Madam Stella,

For my Igbankwu I was looking for vendors.

I am an avid reader of your blog but I never comment, so in one of your Inhouse post  Labliss events advertised that she makes cakes. I contacted her and she told me she does more than cakes. I went ahead and hired her for the complete catering for my Igbankwu in Owerri (Nov 25th 2016) .  See what we ordered below.  1,320,000 Naira was her charge, I paid in full before the event. My family provided the COW. You know Nigeria about 250 people were invited 500 people showed up.

1.Fried rice 
Served with chicken & salad . 250 servings 1100 naira per plate 
 2.Jollof rice 
Served with salad and chicken 250 servings.
3.moi moi 100 servings 
4.Ofe Owerri cooked with dried meat.dry fish.isam .stockfish .with EBA.150 servings .
5.Ofe nsala served with fufu.cooked with long bitter leave.dried beef.stockfish. dried fish kpomo. 150 servings. 
6.canned malt 175
Canned coke 175
Canned  sprite 175
Canned fanta 175 .
7. Ushering service charge. #12 servers
8.Side dishes 
Ukgba 50 plates 
Nkwobi 50 plates .
9.cake
4 tier cake with same sculpture .
10. Small chops 150 packs
semosa
spring rolls 
puff puff
prawn crackers. 
Pepped gizzard
Sausage rolls
Meatpie 
11) Decor chairs .canopies.tables and couple  couple stage .
Plantain 
Cooling van

Labliss event did a good job with the cake, softdrinks and décor. Here are my problems with Labliss event, If someone pays you 550,000 naira for 500 plates of rice, isn't it common sense to buy more than one bag of rice. On the day of the event we found out she was cooking only one bag of rice. the food disbursement was a shame to say the least. I couldn't find her 12 servers. there were only about 4 at the food stand dishing out food.  She told me her servers are only to dish out food not serve guests????? whaaaat?? . The small chops that were supposed to be in nice 150 packages and handed out, that didn't happen.  

She personally made the cake , so the morning of the event instead of managing and ensuring all was going well she was at the hotel decorating the cake. I ended up paying for 5 hotel rooms for 3 nights for her and her "dishers" (Hidden cost)

My Igbankwu was a disgrace because most people did not eat, My inlaws went home without eating. If you book labliss ensure other vendors do other aspects of your wedding. DO NOT ever give one vendor total control of your wedding. It is such an important day for one person to ruin. Thank God for my husband. The issue caused problem between us. Stella be careful who you do free advert for.

When I arrived from USA and I met her she told me she will charge an extra 100k for decoration (hidden costs) , this is after we had finalized costs. All in all the event was not a good one.  People beware there is soo much more I can type Im just tired. Another mistake I made was I came from USA so I trusted one vendor to do everything. 

My advice is be careful who your hire for your wedding, do your homework and do not contract an event to one person. Ask specific questions before you book!!!! Ask to see all the ingredients and have your people monitor what the caterer does. I paid all she asked for on time yet I my event was a disgrace.

My Mum insulted her when her staff came to take some of their stuff after the event because of how bad it went . I cautioned my Mum and told her not to do that again. 

In conclusion, quite honestly I am angry with LAbliss event because I feel used.
Thanks for hearing me out.

Washing the Vjay.

Greetings Stella.

We've got to discuss this issue of Washing the"Vjay" to educate some people cos, it seems "some" don't know the logics on Washing the Vjay.

I've read about 2 to 3 comments here saying "don't wash the inside of your Vjay, just use a mild  soap and wash the outside", seriously?!

I've never heard of that before.
Only been told to use only water and wash the inside, then, a mild soap for the outside.

How can u not wash?. After periods? Sex?

Gush! Can't deal mehn.

Sorry if I sound harsh or ignorant.

We learn everyday, right?



My dear I am tired of discussing this topic..Use whatever you like,Use 'Ororo',use diesel but just make sure it is washed,,ah ah!!!
LOL:::


Keep it well trimmed or completely shaved and washed with lots of water...how can it smell if you do...lots of water,abi na one cup of water you dey imagine?

Dont chook soap inside and make sure you Douche....

She was the winner of the Port Harcourt free advert post and as soon as I posted there was a call out and I contacted sexy Daddy to alert her that there was a call out and she seemed to know who cause she sent me this response which co-incides with the call out...



LA BLISS RESPONDS TO CALL OUT

Good day ma .Sexy Daddy brought  my attention  to a call out by one of my client . I got to know her through  your blog . She contacted  me and booked our services  for  her traditional  marriage  last year July . The event took place last year November.  We agreed on a certain  amount with lots of discounts  which was OK for us both . She insisted I come down to  her place nekede in owerri 3 days earlier  . Infact, all her terms  I kept to it . She even acknowledged  that . But her complaint started  when I she called me  while  the cooking  was going on that one bag of rice wouldn't be enough for the number of persons she paid for . 



I was trying to  make her understand  that we cook with  measurement  in which I earlier stated in our discussions. One bag and quarter feeds 500 persons because  each  rice servings comes with , peppered  chicken, salad ,moimoi or dodo . She herself  ate and told  me that our food  was excellent  .her family  wanted  to do the cooking  . But she confided  in me that they are only looking for a way to milk her in her own words. So the mum raised alarm and was nagging  that we caterers are criminals  . You can imagine  I was at my hotel room Decorating her cake when she called me and was screaming  I couldn't  bear her insult any more so I had to tell that let me go back with my staff .




 And transfer her money back to her because  she kept saying I saw that she just came back  from America  and want want to utilise the opportunity  to  drain her .Stella my parents  have stayed  in America north Carolina  for over 30 years . Her dad called me and I explained  to  him that we must continue  with the program  he has to bring  some one from his side to be counting the number of persons we served in other to erase every doubt.  So they agreed and he brought  some one and I still  went and met her while she was dressing up and told her what we agreed she said she was OK with  that but seeing  the crowd  that was troop in in , she suggested  her mum should  bring  extra quarter bag since we had so much condiments remaining  by then we were almost done with  cooking . 



I still  told her that I will  dish that one in a separate  cooler  in other  to satisfy  my conscience that I delivered  what I was paid for .even her sister   came and thanked us that we did well I shouldn't  mind her family , that for the fact they couldn't  achieve  their aim they will  set confusion.  Her 2nd complain was that her in laws didn't eat. Stella we both agreed that her in laws are the centre  of concentration  which I personally dished their  first  food . They were 43 initially  . When the occasion  hasn't even started  they came . Her mum alerted me and I was dishing while she took upstairs to  them . When  it got to her mother in law she came back and told me to give her a bowl of peppered chicken  and salad . Which  I obliged.  Then afterwards she has already  told  me that when the occasion  starts proper,I should  send my staff to serve them before  the time for refreshment , I told her the consequences  . Once you do that in a community  wedding  the crowd will no longer concentrate , their attention  will be solely on the food . 



she told me they will be going back to their  base so for the fact they eat she cares less about  the crowd.  Her mum came to the stand and supervised their servings  which she still  acknowledged.  Those in laws ate and ate and over ate . The special side dishes we made for them (  NKWOBI ) their spokes man came and told me that their title  men amongst them don't eat in the public  I . Immediately  packed it as take away.  And I went to their canopy and asked them if they  were all satisfied  and they said they were and appreciated  our services.  While we were serving her in laws . The crowd that was in the field ( guest ) rushed down to the food stand and you can't imagine  the what it was like .even the police men . The journalist.  The vigilante  could not control the crowd .they also joined  the crowd to hustle for food .😓😓. After the Mc tried to calm the public down to relax  food will get to  almost  every one .the crowd was being  very hard to manage because  the Okada riders  made half of the population  . Once they heard that their community  chiefs daughter  was wedding  and the people  that matters  in the state  were there , you can imagine  their expectations. 


 Well that experience  taught us so much . The gbege at the venue  became threatening  so her dad  had to  relocate the important personalities  to the main building and asked me to come with only 2 staff to serve the fully filled up 3 parlours.  I and 2 of my staff  with the  assistance of  their aunt served until it was dark because they ate varieties . By the time I came down ( 7.30) the crowd  was reduced  drastically  and my stand turned  upside down with most of my plates and casseroles  broken . So I had to go behind were we cooked .there I saw my staff analysing  the whole thing . But as God will have it they had 2 more coolers of native soup and 1 cooler of NKWOBI .



So I quickly  went to  her mum and told her .she sent her sister who followed and transferred  the soup to her coolers . While I waited for the 3rd cooler transfer the NKWOBI . It was forthcoming  and I had to retire back to my lodge cos it was already late and mobile escorts were already grumbling. I went back to their mum and gave her cooler and told her I will  pick it up in  2 weeks when my staff delivers their photo book ET al.she was delighted . Now in the morning while we were loading  our van to take off to port Harcourt . The father called me for another meeting  and complained how we couldn't  control the massive  crowd in the field . And 2ndly he went around  and counted the empty packet of juice on the floor and 2 empty packs was missing  .that if people drank the chivita juice(#400) were is the pack 😂😂😂😂


.at that point the younger  sister to the bride stood up and left in anger ,so I explained  to  the Eze the much I could excused my myself and left . Meanwhile  my client  left their place immediately  after cutting  her cake . And I also served her food .drinks and chops through  her chief Ashebi lady  . And she sent me a text how she enjoyed  what she ate .let me at this point leave out some details  which were very hurtful to me because  I already  forgave her long time ago . She said I demanded extra 100 k .which  she didn't pay up finally . We agreed to decorate  about 400 chairs  and 5 to 6 canopies  . Which I charged for . Finally  she hired close  to 1000 chairs and extra 5 twin canopies  . And the crowd  standing was  more than the ones sitting . Her mum asked me to give her my spices remaining , which i refused because  no caterer  dose that . My phone is down I send in a conclusion  soonest thanks 


So her mum still came out as I left the meeting  and came to were I was asking me in a rude approach to give her my remaining  spices . She has a full house and things are so expensive  in the market . Stella I was paid to cater for the guest and that was what I did. 


When that crowd gathered  the food stand and  I saw the wahala I quickly  ran to her mum and told her to call the heads of the  uniform  men there to enforce  order. She told me to do the best I can and let her go and carry her hand bag because  alot of people were smoking  weed in a broad day light and those same officers  aren't doing anything about it , rather they joined the crowd  to hustle for food. It is not the work of a caterer to do crowd control neither  was I the event planner . She planned  her day herself and brought me  in as a vendor.  This same lady after dancing  out to find her husband  according to  tradition , saw the chaos and immediately  she rushed down to the stand and was shouting to this crowd  that surrounded the food to go back and asked us to shut down . 


You needed to be there to see the drama .then she saw that most of those guys were high . Keke drivers . Okada riders  . Vigilante  people .the villagers etc . She went straight and cut her cake ordered people to carry her cake  into their waiting   vehicle  and left with  her husband and in laws .The eve of the wedding  while we were setting up the  place ( decorations) her dad called me for a meeting  by 10 pm , she was present and kept asking were and how she will  dance in . 😃😃😃that topic alone lasted till 12:20 am ooo. I had to beg to be excused  . 



Then I asked them what was the measures to  control  the  crowd  since they have so talk about how the whole imo and anambra state will gather for the occasion the chief  vigilante  man is an alcoholic  . He answered  me with ." Hey madam let me tell you leave that to us and just make sure you serve everybody  fully .IF NOT YOU WILL LEAVE THIS VENUE WITH ONE LEG . 😲😲😲.i should  ask the Eze in order to  confirm  how dangerous he is to any person that doesn't do the wish of his master .I stood up and gave him the warning of his life and immediately  the meeting  ended . Ask Yvonne to find out all that I stated here. 



While  the chaos was going on that chief vigilante  came and met me and commanded me to order 2 to 3  my staff to serve  his men that  he was going to bring them to  come and sit behind  the food stand .after much  persuasion  I agreed he brought  them and arranged chairs for them I served them and beg them to eat fast and control the crowd.  These  guys ate .ate and ate  . Then they started  drinking  and smoking while their oga .the chief vigilante  guy  kept running  to our cooling  van to use violence  to carry drinks  to his men and right in my presence he gathered and gave his hungry looking  children  to run and drop in his house . " that today is their day to enjoy . 



So when  I saw that, I called the attention of my  staff and ask him to stop giving  him access to the cooling  van . He told me that the guy is high with drugs and he kept threatening  him with his darker ( Hausa knife ) and the Eze came and told him to release drinks  to him to serve the public . They never stood up to help control the crowd . Another  incidence that happened was that , as the food was being  managed to serve because of the environment , while  Yvonne  was screaming  for the crowd to go back to their seats .the mother suggested we give one cooler of rice .protein and salad to one of the women dancing group  .


I immediately  did so . Do you know that that particular  woman  carried the half cooler of rice with two other women  . Went behind my car and offloaded every thing  together in a dirty looking rice bag. And this is why I don't give people food to serve unless that individual is my staff. You can imagine the rest of the occasion.i have been  into this biz for about 9 years . Some times our clients  don't know that we give instructions and manage our events based on experiences. But rather they impose their decision  on us the way they want their event . So I tried the much I could to remedy the situation  .but it was obviously  beyond my control. 


 I after the occasion  got charted  up by Yvonne 2 days later and she stated categorically  her displeasure  in the  crowd mismanagement  which I also let her know it wasn't what I was booked for .she apologised and also apologised for what I wasn't solely responsible  for . She told me her husband  refused to  pay the balance  and I accepted  my fate . So I was sooo ooo shocked  that this same lady after almost  a year will say what she said.i have  been privileged to be contracted  by about 12 brides in your blog and other event planners . 2 out of this events  was a big regret  for me . But I take it to  be  part of my learning  process . If for nothing  , I won't want to stain my biz name with a bad image because  I have laboured to stand against all odds .I contacted  her through  what sap yesterday with just let God be the judge between I and her . 


The reply and insult she gave me made me give her back a double dose of what she dished out . So as our mother you are , I decided to  report myself tooo.  😆😆😇😇😇.thank you
 ma.


I am not Judging or saying you are right or wrong but henceforth try to avoid call outs like this because it is bad for your business and for me as the advertiser..it really makes me look bad and also spoils business for others....please I urge two of you to forget about the past and make peace,you dont need to be friends but just apolgise to each other and keep it moving.
Madam thank God you are married and thats all that matters,please let it go...Make una free me from this gist if una decide not to settle,I have tried my best and God forbids that i take sides.
