Premiere Productions Inc. Event and Wedding Planning by Maria Cook is a Scam

My wife and I recently had a horrible experience with Premiere Productions and it’s operator Maria Cook. I strongly advise all brides and couples to stay clear of Premiere Productions Inc. They’ll ask for as much money as they can get upfront for vendors and fees. We paid Premiere Productions several months in advance to cover the all of the associated expenses (location, floral, catering, entertainment).
It wasn’t until I was contacted by one of the vendors for payment that I realized that Premiere hadn’t forwarded any of my payments to the vendors that were hired for our wedding. The vendors threatened to pull out of our wedding at the last minute because Premiere had failed to send them our deposits and payments.
Premiere would not give me a straight answer when I asked them what was going on and when they would be paying the vendors. One of their wedding planners gave me the impression that Premiere had re-purposed the funds we had given them to cover the expenses associated with another client who was getting married before us. We could not believe it. I tried contacting their corporate office, but that was a dead end. Maria Cook, the Executive Director kept giving us the runaround and told us that it was out of her control. However, when our attorney did some further research on our behalf he found out that the company was registered and owned by Maria Cook. That’s why we couldn’t get anybody at the company to address the situation until we got our attorney involved. She woke up once our attorney was engaged. Our attorney told us that our experience with Premiere Productions was very typical of a company that was robing Peter to pay Paul.
Maria Cook also operates a phony Event and Wedding Planning training school that’s also a scam under Premiere Productions Inc.

That’s just baloney because my wife and I have experienced the exact same problems with Premiere Productions Inc. and Maria Cook as other have described. Just more lies and excuses from Maria.

Beware of Vertice Productions. Maria Cook, Tara Ward, and James Blackley are running the Premiere Productions Inc. SCAM and CON under the name Vertice Productions.
Do the math… Vertice Productions SCAM = Premiere Productions Inc. SCAM
Don’t buy Maria Cook’s hype, false promises, excuses, and lies. Here is a review on Ripoff Report with additional information on the Vertice Productions SCAM by Maria Cook who is a well known con-artist.
