Psychic Palm and Tarot Card Reader

I strongly suspect the vendor tried to pull a bait & switch. The day before my event she text me saying she had covid and would not be able to perform. She offered a replacement which she indicated would accept the same terms of our contract and payment would transfer to them. She gave me the contact of the new vendor, I reached out via text. Red flag: The "new" vendor immediately told me her hourly charge was 3 times what the 1st vendor charged. I mentioned I was told the original terms of the contract would be honored . She then proceeded to act "confused" and "remembered" that I was referred to her by her "daughter" so she agreed to honor the price I had already paid. Now I'm expecting an older woman. The person who arrived looks like the person on the profile pic except much heavier. I was disappointed in her Disney sweater attire, she agreed to dress the part- this was an adult Halloween party. Red flag #2: Shows up with a male escort she calls her husband. It appears he intends to stay. So I casually inform him that he can pick her up at 10pm. Thankfully he leaves, but it was awkward. Red flag #3: I added Sage cleanse but showed up without matches. In the hustle of guests arriving I'm scrambling to find cute matches to complements the process. Soon after the party begins, she has run out of sage. She brought 2 tiny bundles despite knowing how many guests I was expecting. Now I'm scrambling again to find my personal sage so she can continue to provide a service which I PAID for. Red flag #4: I EXPLICITLY asked her NOT to put out a tip jar. I told her I would tip her after the event, I did not want guests feeling obligated to tip, nor have to get their purse/wallet since they would not be carrying around the party. SHE PUT OUT A TIP JAR which was a violation of our agreement!!! Many guests tipped her and I was very upset to learn about this. Red flag #5: She did not read cards, she flipped 10-15 cards at one time on top of each other immediately started talking never looking at the cards. Her readings were more along the lines of bad predictions and not interpreting the cards. Several guests were told they were pregnant including twins due in February. A 30 year old was told they'd be rich and retiring in 5 years. I was asked about a miscarriage (heavy topic for a Halloween party in the open?) After the party I shared my thoughts about this, several guests who have experience with readings opened up and said that she performed a total crock. They said they wouldn't have said anything because it was party and took it as light entertainment and not serious like when they go for private readings. Red flag # 6: She aggressively hit on one of my male guests who was very obviously there with his wife. She explicitly asked him on date. Showing up with your "husband" then hitting on a person who's with a partner is unprofessional. Last and final, when her time was up she came to ask for a $50 travel fee payment (and a tip). This was not part of the original contract and I was taken aback. I was pretty buzzed by this time and I didn't want to argue with her so I paid the fee. I told her I was too buzzed to the math to tip her and told her I'd get to it the next day. The next day she texts me, but from a completely different number. This strikes me as very odd, I'm already suspecting something shady so now I'm interacting with a 3rd contact number or person? Looking at the whole picture the service I was provided with was unprofessional and I highly suspect some sort of scheme where this person does a bait & switch at the last minute to get more money. As for their advisor skills, not even close to appearing like they know the art of Tarot. Don't hire this person, period. To the vendor, if by any chance the person who did my party is not you then I apologize but all of this did happen and ultimately you are responsible for who you recommend. If this wasn't you I advise you NOT to use their services to represent you, EVER!.

She was very professional, arrived on time and was a huge hit at our Halloween party! She also extended her time because there was a line of people wanting readings. Will definitely hire her again!
