Planning A Wedding In Ohio

First of all, this is a public page and I am not "stalking" anyone or thing. My husband and I were MARINES at the time of our wedding, so what makes you think you deserve special treatment because you were in the Army? You have a right to post whatever you want, and I have a right to defend myself. People have a right to read both sides of the story and not just people talking trash and slandering a person. Calling a person a liar and a cheat is slander, which by the way, you can be taken to court for that! Keep in mind that there are a lot of people who will blow things out of porportion if they feel they can get attention and hurt someone elses reputation. Does it not make sence to you than, that people should read the positive along with the negative? If that makes sence, than why should I not support my feelings when all of you are on here supporting your`s? I say grow up and get a life to those who are on here complaining when it was part their fault that there was an issue. If you draw offence from that, than maybe you should look at yourself and reevaluate what exactly happened. Don`t tell me to not take offence to what people are saying, when it is one of my personal friends, brought together by an outstanding customer experiance, who is being trashed. If you don`t want me to get offended, don`t pointedly direct things toward me. Not once have I directly said anything to or about a particluar person. Take offence only if you have a reason to. If you are being compleatly honest, than what is the problem? You should know that it is not you who created a problem. Now, I recieve an e mail everytime someone posts a responce on this page, so you better believe that I will keep CHECKING (not stalking) this page. I don`t respond to everyone, just to who respond or direct something to me, or if I am curious about something.

Syndi Shy,
Is going around tell future clients the reason why people are being negative towards her is the people on these blogs are all part of the KKK.
This is what she sent a future client



These are white people that are trying to bring me down if you are concerned then that I understand but I will make your wedding reception happen! I am very good at what I do, if they cancel they lose their money!

Did you read any good reviews on me these are all racist we are suppose to work for people not have out own business!

I am a child of GOD and he is seeing me through this!

I need to meet with all of you and if you do not want my services this money will go towards future events or event for them!


Let me know!


I think this is your new bride she is not sure of me! I am the one who told her to go to you!


Sincerely,
Syndi Shy

I hope she never works Columbus or any other city again.

Come on, people. Isn`t it blatantly obvious who "Heather" is? I wouldn`t waste my time.

My name is Heather Greenwood, I now live in Springtown Texas. My e mail is Babymarine99@yahoo.com. NOW it is obvious who I am! If you want any more proof, e mail me with your phone number and I will call you! In fact, If you have a My Space profile, look me up! HEATHER GREENWOOD.

I have served Syndi Shy with papers. However have not been sucessful. The address I have is not right, she has moved or is just not answering the door. Other than that as a group, a few of us have done things we believe will help in the long run. I have done what I can and am just not talking, I have taken action. If anyone would like to take action I would be happy to help in any way. An for those of you who believe we are out of line if you would like to see pictures or a video of my wedding day and the things that happened I would be more than happy to share it with you.

We also used Shy Catering for our reception July 21, 2007. If only I had done more checking and found this site. She should be in jail as she is a thief and a liar. She promises everything and does not deliver. The list of things that were wrong is very long but some highlights are: staff was supposed to arrive 2 hours prior to the reception starting - they got there 1/2 before our guests arrived, not enough food, we paid extra to have 3 meats instead of 2 and our guests were told they could not have 1 of each (embarassing), food that we agreed to was not provided, the food presentation was bad, as people were going through the food line there was fruit with plastic wrap on it and price tags, the wait staff looked awful (sweat pants, stringy hair), the bar tender provided did not know how to make a drink or even open a bottle of wine (by brother in law had to spend a lot of time behind the bar), we paid extra for a coffee service for 120 people - NOTHING was provided, all of the servers drank our beer and liquor. They wanted to put a tip jar on the food table! We of course said no, they had one on the bar which was fine but the food table? What a low class operation with even lower class staff. The list goes on and on. Syndi will not return phone calls or refund us any money.

Jennifer,

I am very sorry to hear the same thing happened to you and your husband. Everthing you are saying is excalty what happened to myself and my husband. We had to open the wine and go get a wine opener, we did not get wait staff at all and she lied to us about everything...... Again I am sorry to hear this is still happening, I hope this gets out and Syndi Shy is STOPPED.... If you need to just talk or any info in order to hopefully get your money back please feel free to e-mail me. (nschoen@columbus.rr.com)

Oh my gosh this woman should be in jail why is she still allowed to walk the streets and steal other peoples money. This sat. Sept 29, 2007 was my daughters wedding. Syndi would never call, souldn`t turn in any of the paper work to the facility we used. Lied to all of us, including the franklin county board of health. She tells so many lies you can litterally count them in a five minute conversation. She claimed to be a christian yet finally showed up to our event and starting screaming and using the worst language in the world to everyone there. I paid her $2500.00 and got three pans of chicken which she bought at krogers and then threw at our youth minister. She tried to tell the police, yes you heard it there were 5 police at my daughters wedding reception, that my minister choked and hit her, we had 25 witnesses, watching all of this. I could go on for days about the stuff she lied about and the way we were so completely screwed by her. However I kinda saw it coming and had people from our church cooking for us and taking over so that when she showed up to ruin our day they were there with a ton of fabulous food and sent her away before the bride and wedding party even showed up. I pray that enough families who have been totally scammed by this professional scam artist can get her stopped before she ruins yet another persons day or steals another persons money.

This is to heather the "marine" did syndi pay you to say all of this because you are certainly the only person in the whole world who has had a good experience from her. She is the worst human walking. She has 65 complaints about her in the better business bureau. There is nothing good about this person, the bad part of it is she is dragging her sons name down too because my contract was in his name BRANDON SHY RESTRAUNTS LLC. Although she signed it it is still his name that gets turned over to the BBB she has ruined her little precious babies life because he is only 22 and will not be able to run anything for a long time. I did not exaggerate anything. I have so many witnesses and so much stuff documented and phone calls where she called me screaming and acting like a total lunatick. But you are right about one thing it is all of our faults for believing any word that came out of her mouth and most of all for not checking this reprot and the BBB before we paid her a nickle. I am out $2500.00 and she showed up at my event with 3 pans of chicken which she bought at krogers. I am happy for you that everything was great with your wedding a little shocked that you could be talking about the same syndi shy we all are but I want her stopped, out of buisness and in jail she is a thief, a professional con artist and a liar, she can`t keep ruining peoples specail days.

Syndi Shy has once again changed her business name to Southern Comfort Catering & Wedding and Events..... She has also changed her address and has a new phone number.... The address is a residence not a business....... She also has her name listed on the web page as Syndrea..... Syndi needs to be stopped and this is a pattern of excatly what Syndi and her son do..... They change business names and lie about location.... Please help get the word out.... Again just type in the new business name and it is still Syndi running the show (THE SAD SHOW SHE CALLS A BUSINESS) PLEASE RESPONE IF ANYONE WOULD LKE TO HELP AND I`LL BE HAPPY TO GET BACK WITH YOU... If we do not all stand together this is going to happen to more and more brides, grooms, familes and friends...... SYNDI YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF......

Last know address:
2482 Billingsley Rd
Dublin, Ohio 43235

For some reason I haven` t been getting notifications when people post here so I guess I`ve been out of the net.
Well it seems Syndi just as terrible luck, first the crazy folks from the KKK hired her and then the other lady`s minister tried to choke her... Wow. (kidding btw).
I really hate to ruin Heather`s day cause I`m sure she`ll be on here in no time flat with her knickers up her caboodle typing away angrily ...
BUT
Whoopsie Doodle, here`s our `lady` now smashing beer bottles at my reception:

Well i wish i would have read these posts BEFORE i signed a contract with Syndi. I have an upcoming wedding and am forced to use her unless i want to lose my $2000. I am so worried that she is going to ruin my wedding too!

I`m so sorry Nae. Have you read on the news all the stuff thats going on with her? She`s not allowed to have any new clients but she can finish the jobs with existing contracts. With all the stuff that`s going on I woulnd`t be suprised if she really stops even trying a little bit. I really hope everything turns out ok for your wedding!

Here is the article: http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2008/03/19/caterer.html

There is also several more just like it if you do a web search of her real name. I didn`t even know Syndi wasn`t her real name which s probably what made is so hard to find anything about her online when I hired her to do my wedding.

I hope not. When my future mother-in-law called her on it, she said that she wont do us wrong so i hope not! but since we already paid her guess i have to use her. When i saw the news about her my jaw dropped to the floor.. I just HOPE it all turns out well! (keep your fingers x`d for me)

I wish I would have known before our wedding! Not only was the food terrible (watery gross salad, cold/hard potatoes, nearly raw chicken and beef), but then we were asked by Brandon (Syndi`s son) for a tip. Syndi herself never even showed!!! We were promised clean-up, and evidently little Brandon was angry about the size of his tip, because he just walked out. The worst part was that he continued to contact us via phone, making threats and being verbally abusive. Once we arranged to meet him to talk about it (again, Syndi "couldn`t be there") Brandon drew back his fist like he was going to hit my husband and actually leaned into the car window to try to grab him. After we demanded to speak with his mother, he said "she`s sick at home", and he ran to theiir car, which was being driven by Syndi. I was amazed that she actually was behind all the shake-down and threats.

I just found out about all of this yesterday. When I hired her in 07`I couldn`t find any of this on the net. I am worried about my upcoming wedding but maybe since the Ohio Attorney General is breathing down her neck she will actually do what she is suppose to. I am not holding my breath but I want to cover my bases just in case something does happen. The A.G. Said I can`t do anything about it until she does something wrong. Does anyone know if she has a food license to even finish out her existing contracts?

Just had a wedding by Syndi Shy and it went well. I was worried ever since I found out about this site and the attorney general`s suit against her. The food was very good and was presented in a very good manner. I would not recommend her unless you are very firm in what you want. She likes to talk a lot and interupts you when you are trying to get your point across. Her son and recommended DJ were drinking the alcohol when they were not suppose to be.

So as long as you are very firm with her and detail oriented to make sure nothing is wrong she could do the wedding. She is not very organized and you will have to keep records of everything. However for the low cost of what we got it was worth it.

Well I`m sure glad everything went well for you, I know that must have been tense waiting to make sure it all went smoothly after all this drama.
I think though, that organization is a major part of an event planner`s job so we shouldn`t have to chase after her with a note pad. Doesn`t matter though, she will be out of business soon enough.
