A preface: of all the vendors from our wedding, this is our only negative review -- every other…read morevendor was wonderful. We hired Petit Fleur Events for our July 4, 2026 wedding. We're posting this so other couples know exactly what our experience was. Every statement below is documented in our signed contract, the vendor's own emails, or witnessed by our wedding party. Start with the contract itself. We paid a non-refundable $2,500 retainer based on an itinerary of services; when my now-wife asked -- twice, in writing -- what the actual contract was, the full terms were not provided until June 3, with the remaining balance demanded "by tomorrow," one month before our wedding. By then, realistically, there was no changing vendors. Those terms included a non-disparagement clause purporting to restrict clients from posting negative reviews. Had we seen that clause before money changed hands, it alone would have turned us away. (We're aware of the clause; everything here is factual, and we raised every concern directly and professionally with the vendor in writing first -- as it requires.) We signed a $5,332 agreement and paid $5,276 of it by June 5 -- in full under her payment schedule. At the design mockup -- held 18 days before the wedding, outside the 60-to-30-day window in her own contract, after she rescheduled it from the earlier date we requested -- my wife declined every single offered upgrade that came with a price. When dahlias were quoted at a $500 increase: no. Each time a cost was named: no. The pattern could not have been clearer -- we were staying inside our contracted budget. Then on July 1, three days before the wedding, we received a rewritten "itinerary of services" raising the subtotal from $5,276 to $6,733 -- roughly 26% -- built almost entirely from changes that had never been disclosed as carrying any price. There was no change order and no markup against the signed version: the contract's $1,051 courtesy discount was removed while other fees were waived in roughly offsetting amounts, and line items were silently added, deleted, and repriced throughout -- a wholesale rewrite in which nothing could be tracked against what we had signed. We had to reconstruct it line-by-line ourselves to find out what had changed. When we pushed back with the signed documents, the vendor claimed in writing that a line item "was added" in later revisions and that those arrangements "simply do not exist." That line appears verbatim in the itinerary she signed. After we quoted it back, she confirmed the arrangements would be provided after all. She also refused to provide the cake florals -- despite the signed itinerary containing a "Cake Floral + Table Décor" section she herself had priced at $50 -- and declined our written offers, made three separate times, to pay for requested additions through a standard change order. We were informed she would be on vacation from before our wedding through July 8. On the day itself, the boutonnieres fell apart during the event -- multiple members of our wedding party witnessed and can attest to this -- and in our opinion the arrangements delivered fell well short of the mockup we approved. Since our final email, we have received no further responses. Our advice to any couple considering this vendor: demand the full contract before paying anything, get every change in a signed written change order, keep every email, and compare every revised document line-by-line against what you signed. We wish we were writing a different review. -- Kent & Giordana, married July 4, 2026, Book Tower, Detroit

Corrina is a genuine person and for that I give her 5 stars. We used her back in 2018 when my wife…read moreand I used her services for our wedding.

Ryan Abney Event Design was the best choice for us and I knew it as soon as I met Ryan. I could…read moretell right away that Ryan was very organized, but also extremely friendly with a calming presence. When we started planning our wedding, we had no idea of where to start and didn't know the questions to ask. Ryan walked us through the process and helped us identify all the areas that we needed assistance. Ryan had suggestions for all portions of the planning and really kept our personalities and goals in mind as well as being mindful of our budget. We were in a unique situation where our first wedding celebration, originally planned for March 2020, was canceled due to COVID. Ryan helped us navigate a completely unknown situation and really took a lead in communicating with our vendors. We also had issues with our first venue and as it was unable to be used, she was able to help us recoup our expenses. Due to ever changing COVID regulations, we moved our celebration back until 2023. Once a new venue was found, Ryan worked with us to replan according to the new venue specifications so she helped us plan what amounted to two weddings at two locations. Our day was amazing. Everything was perfect and went according to plan. Ryan was available during the event for any needs, but her impeccable planning skills helped everything run so smoothly that we didn't really need anything. I had multiple attendees comment about how much they enjoyed the wedding and could tell it was a reflection of us as a couple. Even more importantly, my husband and I had an amazing time. I tell everyone that my favorite thing about the wedding, besides marrying my husband, was having Ryan as our wedding coordinator. She is amazing at her job and I felt like we all became close during the multiple years that we were working together. Having her involved in our wedding celebration was the best decision from both a financial standpoint and lowered my stress level immensely. We have recommended her services to friends getting married; they have enjoyed working with her too. If ever responsible for planning another large event, I would be hiring Ryan Abney Event Design immediately.

From the moment we met Ryan when she gave us a tour of the Belle Isle Boathouse, we knew that she…read morewas someone we could work closely with to plan our wedding. She was professional but also very laid-back, especially compared to other planners/event space managers that we met. After we talked to a few couples who worked with and spoke very highly of her, we had no reservations about hiring her as our planner. Ryan is hugely connected with event spaces, hotels, caterers, florists, bakeries, DJs, liquor stores, and event rental businesses due to her years of experience planning major events in the Detroit metro area. This meant discounts for us, excellent customer service from our vendors, and her experience with individual vendors meant we could be sure they were excellent and reliable so our wedding weekend was stress free. She was also appropriately hands off when we wanted to pick certain things on our own. Ryan is just incredibly experienced and that's the type of person you need to plan a big wedding. Preparations for our wedding weekend went seamlessly. We live in New York so with the exception of 3 or so in person meetings, all our communication was by phone, email, and text. She was super available and responsive and notified us if she would ever be away. She gave us deadlines to keep us on track and reminders when these were approaching. Everything was organized on our chosen shared planner document. Due to Ryan's organization and calmness, we never felt overwhelmed during our planning. When we had concerns such as our budget, we brought them up to her, and she was quick to address them, either via email or over the phone. She was easy to schedule these meetings with and helped us frame how often we needed them. She always had an agenda for each meeting so they were actually quick and productive. On our wedding weekend, Ryan ensured that everything ran smoothly, so we were able to enjoy our events without any undue stress or consternation. Of course nothing was perfect due to unforeseen family drama and the like, but even though a few things went wrong, we never even knew because Ryan took care of everything. Because she's such a professional champ with events, she had extra napkins and disposable plates in the car, things like that. Ryan managed all these extra details like hand making our table assignment escort cards and creating a beautiful display in the women's restroom with all sorts of toiletries, mint, floss etc. She also had extra napkins and disposable plates and the like in her car, just in case. Its these minor details that she managed in a 3 day event for 200 people that make her a total expert event planner. We would strongly recommend any couple work with Ryan for their wedding, or really any event. She was professional, diligent, experienced, easy-going and a pleasure to communicate and work with. She made our wedding weekend the best of our lives, and for this we will always be grateful and consider her a friend. We are happy to speak to any potential clients if you have specific questions about working with Ryan. Feel free to email at mikeandmaz2018@gmail.com.

5 stars is nowhere near enough for the praise and love Kayla with Pineapple Union deserves!! From…read morestart to finish, Kayla was kind, patient, organized, creative, knowledgable, and EVERYTHING you'd want from a planner. I don't know if I can put into words how appreciative I am of her work and her friendship. I am pretty laid-back about everything, wedding planning included, and this could have made Kayla's job incredibly tough... given the fact that I didn't give her much direction. Kayla took the few ideas that I tossed her way and turned them in to an absolute dream- it was like I handed her a seed, and she turned it in to the most beautiful garden I'd ever seen. There was not a moment during the planning process OR our wedding day that I worried about a single detail; I knew that if I was thinking of something, Kayla had already thought of it and it was already taken care of. Aside from Kayla's work ethic and obvious skill, she is the sweetest, most genuine soul on the planet. You will feel so at ease every time you talk and you'll probably want to be her best friend :) Do yourself a favor- have Kayla plan/coordinate your wedding and rest assured that it will turn out better than you ever could have imagined.

When we first got serious about actually taking the plunge and planning our wedding, it seemed like…read morean incredibly intimidating prospect. Having known others who did a lot of the legwork organizing their own weddings, we knew that a ton of work goes into working with vendors, setup on the day of, and more. Even worse, we barely knew all of the things that we needed to do to make a wedding happen! Thankfully, we decided to look for a wedding planner and came across Jill and Di's Brides. Jill made planning the wedding almost painless for us, and dare I say it, somewhat fun? We established a sort of flow where we would propose some ideas, Jill would do all of the actual hard work finding and phoning vendors, and then all we had to do was the fun part of making the choice at the end of the day. This was incredibly successful for us- Jill found us the perfect venue, great vendors, and helped us with all of the things we wouldn't have even thought about to make the wedding as wonderful as it was. And day of, we barely even had to think about any of the organization! We could just enjoy what we can only describe as a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Jill was a joy to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone trying to plan a wedding.

About a month or two after we signed. She Took my money and refused to send anything back. I'm not saying she didn't earn something like 100... but not 600... Due to the contract.... that was in Feb 2016.... My mother in law to be, DIED and my father has cancer and had a quadruple by pass in November 2014, so I had to cancle my wedding to help them with money (which is devastating all in itself ) and she held my feet to the fire. No one else did. The hall, photographer, cake baker, etc... everyone gave me even the deposit back to help me with our families medical bills. Which they so didn't have to do because they actually did work... Except her she met me once and had 2 phone calls... oh and some emails. Which 90% of the conversation was about canceling because of our families situations. .. she didnt plan anything or do anything. Oh no wait she put a post on facebook....woopie.... She wouldn't even give me half of my deposit back. She told me she couldn't because of the contract that was 2 years in advance and she could only give me something back when someone else booked with her.... what?! Are you serious. It was 600.00 down payment and seriously she did not do anything near that amount of work. I am so sorry I ever did any type of business with her. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Talks so sweet but yet... yes, we did have a contract but not until 2 years and she knew everything that was going on. She has no heart. Do yourself a favor don't do business with her. She's so desperate for money that she kept all of mine and did nothing to earn it but sign a paper... at the end if the day it was morally wrong. My dad almost died, my mother in law to be died,.... that's why I had to cancel my wedding.... She should be absolutely ashamed. I don't give a shit about the money anymore. Now I'm just warning all brides not to trust her because she has no morality or heart.

Although I did not use her as a wedding planner (didn't hire one at all) I did use her website (and subsequently, the discount) on my invitations. She must have contracts with a lot of the vendors because she offered the best discounts I saw in all my searches. Her customer service is top notch as well. When I sent in my order, she emailed me a question to clarify what I wanted on my RSVP cards. I had omitted something and she suggested I change it, which I did. I was pleased that she contacted me personally for that clarification, and very happy that she helped me improve the cards! I used her services on my invites, then advised my sisters-in-law to check out the website for their weddings. The only drawback I can see is that I think she only works in Michigan, so she may not be able to get discounted invites for people who aren't residents of the great mitten.
