I'm forever grateful for her help and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process. She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. What sets Jackie apart is how genuinely she cares. She doesn't treat you like just another client--she sincerely invests in you and your wedding journey. As a bilingual planner, she was also able to communicate seamlessly with my Korean parents, who absolutely adored her for her grace, professionalism, and thoughtful mannerisms. I also rented my dress and arranged my flowers through Wedding Story, and everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Jackie, and the entire Wedding Story team, for making my wedding experience so smooth and special!

When we asked her to get something she had it done within days. I felt so confident and was less nervous about wedding planning with her. I truly had the most perfect day because of her and her staff. They are professional and straightforward. Trust her in the process. She doesn't sugar coat to please, she gives her honest advice using her expertise and experience as a wedding planner. When I wanted to do something or wanted something for the wedding, she made sure she gave her two cents so that I could make a better decision for the wedding and it turned out to be flawless. I couldn't recommend her services more to someone looking for a planner. Truly went above and beyond. 100/10!

I don't consider myself a bridezilla, so I say this with the utmost rationality that I can:…read more This company was supposed to provide all services in 1 company. She bad-mouthed the previous owner, which was extremely unprofessional. I never received floral samples or ideas from her about how she was going to do the flowers; she mostly told me what she wanted to do. I had to keep calling her. The photographer was nice but did not take the type of photos I wanted (candid and close up), rather most were all posing photos & I had also told her what I liked and didn't like (she just said nicely said ok to everything). The owner wrapped her costs into everything else, like trying to charge me $350 for make-up alone. She also made herself "very unavailable" after she received all of my money just 1 month into the wedding planning. The worst parts were that the owner was not present the day of the wedding. They also promised my wedding albums would be done in 8 weeks, but it actually took another month longer. The albums came out horribly, with repeat pictures; they would not let me choose which pictures went into the album. My thank you cards that were printed had the names spelled wrong. I would not recommend to anyone...its neither cheap nor quality. I could've done a better job with everything myself.

I looked for everywhere to find the place for the wedding but I couldn't. So I decided to get the…read morewedding dress and album first and found Hera Total Wedding. The good thing was that Hera Total Wedding found me a good place for the wedding and good price even though I only had 80 guests. Then they always look out for me and provided help when I was having struggles with wedding; I called Hera Total Wedding many times and they were always available and they worked so hard to make the wedding I wanted. For the rehearsal, they came and walked through me so I did not even need a wedding planner. On the wedding day, there were no mistakes at all, it was perfect. Also, the make-up artist followed me everywhere (from the beginning to the end) so I was very relieved.

I cannot say enough nice things about this florist business! We just recently used them for my…read moreson's Thanksgiving weekend wedding and, honestly, they turned the Army Navy Country Club banquet hall into something even more magnificent. Guests commented on the beautiful flowers over and over again. The owner, Mike, has a well-developed clientele in the area so you can get lots of references. He also has a small team of perfectionist, creative artists backing him up. He's super talented, so much so that when my daughter-in-law became overwhelmed with all the wedding planning she finally just said to him that she had this much money and she wanted these colors and these flowers and she would trust his artistic talents with the rest. Well, not only was that a burden off all our shoulders and one less thing to worry about, Mike did not fail to come through! The arrangements were nothing less than breathtaking. He also went to the trouble to make gorgeous magnolia garlands for the two fireplaces in the hall and bedecked them with little lights - so subtle and lovely. Once we turned everything over to him, we never worried about it again and he was completely thorough on the wedding day, taking care of all things floral in a most professional manner. Both church and banquet hall were absolutely beautiful. This is a great business to work with, and I highly recommend them.

One thing we quickly realized was that the Osprey's had excellent customer service. Every question we had was answered quickly. Vanessa was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Even with the follow up questions we had after our tour, Vanessa responded to our emails quickly. Once we were about 45 days away from the wedding, we were paired with Tori, who was our Event Director. When we met with Tori, she was very friendly and helpful. One thing that we found helpful was the timeline template they provided us with. It helped us plan out our reception details with ease. One thing to note was that the Osprey's provides a list of preferred vendors to work with, such as DJ's, caterers etc. Their preferred list was a God send! We ended up hiring 2 of their preferred vendors and so happy we did! The day of our wedding was PERFECT. Everything we planned and wanted actually happened. I received so many compliments about the venue and my wedding and I was so happy our guests truly enjoyed it. Tori did a fantastic job as our event director and made sure we followed the timeline and kept things moving with ease. While the day flew by, we simply had an amazing wedding. I wanted to send a huge thank you to both Vanessa and Tori for making our special day go so well. :)

The owner spent almost an hour with me a week prior to pickup to talk about the arragnement including what color flowers, price and size of the arrangement. He wrote in a spiral notebook and added me to the computer system. As requested, I called and left a detailed message but never heard back. I even received a text message saying that they would call me back - the owner claimed it was an AI error. When I went to pick up the arrangement - there was no arragement - and the owner acted like he had never seen me before. In my grief, I lashed out and eventually apologized. What is mind blowing is that the owner could not admit his mistake. Clearly he had messed up and the appropriate thing to do would have apologized. Instead he said the customer is NEVER right and threw us out of the store.

I stopped in around Mother's Day and was amazed by the pricing.

The florist is wonderful, and every arrangement looks unique, fresh, and high-end. You can truly tell the flowers are quality. Definitely order ahead for major holidays because they get busy. Even though Eden Center parking can be chaotic, I will absolutely keep coming back because the beauty, size, and value of these bouquets are unmatched.
