The lady who took my order over the phone was very helpful and professional. I told her what price range I wanted to stay in and the types of flowers that I liked. There was a small delivery fee (I think it was around $7.00) less than they charge for flower deliveries in California. The flowers were delivered during the time frame that specified. My mother-in-law absolutely raved about the arrangement that she received and said that they were gorgeous! I will definitely order flowers from here again. Thanks for a good experience.

We hired Daria for our wedding, and I really cannot say enough good things about her and Andy. They…read moreare fabulous people and amazing photographers. You're not going to get cheesy posed pics of your wedding; you'll get classic timepieces that take you back to the day. And you'll have fun. We really had so much fun with them on our wedding day, and with Daria for our engagement photo session too. Really, when you think about it, you spend more time with your photographer than any other single person (besides your significant other) on your day, so you better like them. She calmed me, made me laugh, and really helped make the day. And it's a big plus to have the two of them- Daria and her equally wonderful fun husband Andy- so you can have double the coverage. And our pictures... I'm still getting comments about how great and unique they are. I LOVE that they do a slideshow of the event- putting the pics to music just really tells the story of the day. The 2 negatives that made me hesitate between 4 and 5 stars are price and timing. The packages are very pricey (more than what the Knot tells you to alot for a photographer budget), and watch out for additional costs which I think are a little unfair to not include within all packages (digital negatives, slideshows- it's best to ask exactly what ISN'T included in your package to have it spelled out). Although, I have to say, they were worth every single last penny. My other negative comment -'timing'-is that they are not always perfectly organized and responsive/quick with turnaround. It's been 6+ months since our wedding and we haven't gotten instructions on our wedding album, despite multiple requests, nor do we have our digital negatives. But overall I feel it's better to wait for awesome pics than to have ones you're not so happy with right away. Overall, really great, fun photographers that will give you the wedding pictures you dream of. and ps- even if you have no intentions of ever getting married, check out Daria's blog on her site. Totally great way to waste time (especially if you love Vermont like I do!!)

Danielle is a miracle worker. 2020 has brought so much stress into my life, never mind trying to…read moreget married this year. We finally decided to elope and even that stressed me out. Danielle took ALL of that stress away and delivered the most amazing day. I didn't have to worry about finding vendors and interviewing/getting quotes, she was able to help me with that which was so appreciated. Trying to plan this day from states away would have been near impossible without the help from Grandest Gatherings. Danielle has such style and a mind for design and colors. I wanted to be surprised the day of and she completely delivered. Our picnic was stunning, she thought of every little detail even down to having a sleeping pad under the blanket to make sure we were comfortable. As if having someone plan out your elopement and hiking about 3 miles round trip while lugging a charcuterie board and pillows wasn't enough, she's such a friendly bubbly person! I felt like we were friends right away. I'm currently looking for reasons to have her plan another event because it was that magical.

If you only read the first sentence of this review, you need to book Grandest Gatherings for your…read moreevent now! For more details as to why Danielle is one of the best humans around, please read on... After our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and our first attempt at an international elopement was canceled, we decided to elope in the Catskills.  With six weeks notice, Danielle was able to help us coordinate and design an incredible elopement, including the ceremony, brunch, and dinner.  Leading up to our elopement, we were in close communication with Danielle, discussing our priorities and what type of design we were looking for.  We went back and forth on design elements, and she welcomed our input.  Danielle was able to curate an elopement based on our budget and wants and was genuinely excited during the entire process.  She wanted this day to be just as memorable as we did.   Danielle coordinated with vendors on our behalf, coordinating a greenery runner for dinner with the existing florist that we were already working with for our bouquet and boutonniere. She found vendor options for brunch and dinner, taking into account our food preferences, and presented us with a wide range to choose from based on our budget.  She was also able to use her network to find us the perfect charcuterie board to compliment our dinner.   The day before our elopement, Danielle and our photographer scouted for the perfect brunch location.  We're told that she cleaned algae and pools of water off of the designated brunch rock at the waterfall so that it would be dry the next day (it had rained the day before).  The day of our elopement, Danielle lugged everything for brunch down to the waterfall (she's a beast!) and had it all set up for us when we arrived after our mountain ceremony.  She also kindly shooed people away from the spot that she had so meticulously picked out the day before.  Danielle was in constant communication with our photographer, so that she knew exactly when we would be arriving.   While the design of our brunch was absolutely stunning (plating of food, candles, pillows, blankets, even a comfy pad to sit on), it was the little touches that really impressed us.  Danielle got us fresh coffee when the existing coffee from our brunch vendor had just sat out too long and had some additional surprises in store.  She picked out a location that gave us the most amazing view of the waterfall while enjoying chicken and waffles and prosecco.  A few hours after brunch, Danielle arrived at our Airbnb to start arranging everything for our dinner.  We left for a sunset hike and Danielle went to work.  She completely redesigned the patio of our Airbnb (with the host's permission) for the most intimate and perfect elopement dinner, including moving a very large gas grill, table, patio furniture, etc.  She even restrung the host's bistro lights so that it was a continuous line of lit bulbs with the burned out lights out of view! Danielle ordered our dinner for us on our elopement day and helped us pivot when the original restaurant closed for the day unexpectedly.  I can't forget to mention that Danielle is a serious fire whisperer!  She started fires for us the night before our elopement and the night of and took over maintaining it on our elopement so that we could relax and enjoy the evening.  She can seriously do it all. While we had a schedule of events for the day, the communication between Danielle and our photographer allowed for the timeline to shift so that to us, everything seemed to occur seamlessly even when we were "off schedule" by an hour, which I know is no easy task.  Danielle surprised us with so many additional touches on our elopement day, surprises that I feel I shouldn't list so that future clients get to experience the same joy that we did when we discovered the additional touches. I'm betting that she also did so many additional little things that we had no idea about. And it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a friend that was busting their butt to give us the most amazing elopement day.  Seriously. Danielle is absolutely amazing and made our elopement so incredibly special and memorable.  Stop reading this review and go book Grandest Gatherings for your next event NOW!

I've been using Anna's services for the house I just bought. Built in 1921, it's in great shape,…read morebut I wanted to make some upgrades and changes. Anna has been so helpful assisting me with sketches, floorpans, finishes, design ideas, suggestions on what I can and can't do and also staying within my budget. I never thought I'd be a person using an architect - I think of them as being too expensive for my budget. The cool thing about Anna is that she does higher-end commercial/residential work but also likes to work with normal folks like me who don't need brand new construction and just need "a la carte" services at affordable prices. The whole house buying/remodeling process can be very overwhelming, but Anna's helped me feel less stressed and more informed. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd make a lot of decisions I might end up regretting down the road. Highly recommend!

From the moms we stepped foot into the store we were grateful and glad to be attended to with such rigor. She asked meaningful questions to help my sister decide what she was looking for.

The store itself has a multitude of choices but not to overwhelm. Displayed with space and grace by silhouette it was a pleasure to glance through. Carson was there every step of the way. 10/10 highly recommend!
