STAY AWAY!! If there could be negative stars they would get it! They started great then without informing me 3 weeks before my wedding one of the partners "left the business" in repeatedly asked for her whereabouts and was told everything was fine she was just taking time off because of personal problems and she will be there day of wedding. Keep in mind I'm a bride that did EVERYTHING and provided EVERYTHING from extra roses to all of my centerpieces. I hired them as my day of coordinators and florist. So let's talk about the day of my wedding or the day of desasters. First all the corsages were missing, I was 1 bouquet short, and 2 flower girls wreaths didn't make it. After I call her she said she would send them to the church. I get to the church which was suppose to have been fully decorated and 1 of the coordinators was meant to be there. No one is there and there is NOTHING decorated. Nothing on the isles, and in the front they literally threw flowers on a base with no order. It wasn't an arrangement the church coordinator told me they just threw the flowers there. The church was missing the correct sign to pick a seat not a side instead they put the pictures intended to be in the venue. Needless to say I never saw any grand occasion represative in the church. I had to carry my own picture from the church to the venue in my limo!!! When I finally make it to the venue they send a girl whom I've never met to coordinate the entrance, my 2 weeding coordinators were nowhere to be found. When she makes it out she's dressed in sneakers leggings and a tshirt (my wedding was a mandatory black tie event) and she tells me to tell my maid of honor who is trying her best for me not to notice the chaos to "fucking relax." When I get inside the venue I swear I wanted to sit and cry!! The centerpieces weren't done, half of the dessert station was missing, my chocolate fountain (I paid them for an attendant) wasn't even up, the sweetheart table went from having 4 flower arrangement to having NONE! The centerpieces were chandeliers and they meant to have floweres on top, they had none! There were candle sticks with balls of hydrangeas on top, instead she put a candle on top, basically I barely had flowers! Needless to say I didn't see ANY grand occasion representative with the exception of the meeting outside the venue, my MC coordinated everything thankfully! When I returned from my honeymoon she refunded me for all she was missing which the money at that point meant crap considering I spent 25 times what she gave me. And to top it off the check has bounced event since! I can't even get my money back! It's been 2 months and the check still doesn't have funds and she doesn't answer her phone! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY I still have nightmares about my wedding! I've cried endless tears for the mess they made! They had personal chaos and her excuse was "either I didn't do your event or I did what it did"! And I can guarantee I would have rather then cancel even a week prior to event! read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! They RUINED my wedding day. I got married December 17th, 2016 and hired them from everything form flowers and decor to catering and day of service. When I first started looking for wedding vendors I came across Cari and Karla and when I met them they were so wonderful. Their prices were great and they seemed nice and knowledgable. I trusted that they would deliver on the promises that they made. My wedding was a DISASTER. Everything that they promised me for months and months, they did not deliver on. I ordered chiavari chairs that were never delivered and was given no explanation as to what happened to my chairs. Thankfully we had chairs for the ceremony and the venue lent us a few more missing chairs and my guests had chairs to sit on for dinner. I ordered beautiful centerpieces. The flowers were to be on a tall cylinder vases and somehow a few tables were missing vases and the flowers were simply thrown on top of the table. Once again no explanation as to what happened. Chargers, tableware and glassware were missing on the tables. I ordered a arch for the ceremony and sent them multiple pictures of how I wanted it to look. My wedding arch looked nothing like the picture. It looked cheap and barely had flowers on it. In fact when my fiancé got to the venue, there were no flowers on my arch. He pulled Karla aside and told her the arch was missing flowers. She put tiny flower arrangements on the corner and that was it. I ordered 5 flower crowns that were suppose to be delivered to my hotel room at 230PM. I called and asked if they could be delivered around 130 and was told " I'll try my best". Not only were they not delivered by the right time, they weren't delivered until almost 4PM. I attempted multiple times to call and text Karla and Cari, who did not answer. Because of this delay, we ran behind on hair and make up and could not take as many pictures of us getting ready before the wedding, and pictures with my bridesmaids. When the flowers finally arrived, I was sent 2 of the 5 that I ordered. When I told the girl who delivered them that I was missing 3 of them she had no idea what I was talking about. She called Karla, and thats when I was able to speak to her. She told me the other flower crowns had burnt in the freezer and that she needed her employee back NOW. The flower crowns she sent me were wilted and brown and I could not use them. She never apologized or offered any other solution for the issue. Boutonnieres never made it, and no explanation as to what happened. My bouquets, and my bridesmaid's bouquets had flowers that were all wilted. They were suppose to chill the alcohol the day before the wedding. I even bought ice bags and gave it to them the day before to make sure the beer was cold. I emphasized to them over and over again the importance of cold beer. On the day of, they served my guests hot beer. They did not put the beer to cool the day before like they had promised me they would. I ordered food for 110 people and was told that was enough to feed 120. Around 113 people showed up to my wedding. Food started running out half way through dinner and was served COLD to my guests. For cocktail hour, over half the food I ordered did not make it and there was not enough food either. They also ran out of plates during dinner. I paid for an extra waiter to be passing around water, champagne, soda and whiskey all night and there was nobody there doing that. Set up was suppose to begin at 3 and my wedding was suppose to start at 5. When I arrived at 5:15 PM Karla and her staff were unloading their cars to start setting up. They are setting up while guests where at cocktail hour and could see the mess going on. I also hired Karla and Cari for the day of service so that my ceremony and reception could be perfect. Karla disappeared during the ceremony and was not there to coordinate like she said she would be. She was not there to fix my veil and train as I was walking down the aisle. I worked with Cari throughout most of the wedding planning process and she didn't even show up on the day of. They failed to deliver on so many promises that they made. I attempted to contact them when I returned from my honeymoon. I sent an email requesting a refund for services I paid for and was not provided but they would not reply.. I mailed a certified letter with a copy of my email and attempted to call them. I finally got a reply from Karla, who barely addressed anything of my email and made excuses saying that she provided these services when she didn't. She is refusing to give me my money back. Please DO NOT HIRE this company. It will ruin your wedding day dreams. I dreamt of my wedding ever since I was a little girl and I had so many hopes and dreams for my big day. They ruined it and this is something I can never get back. The only consolation I have is that I married the man of my dreams and nothing can ruin that! read more
