The flowers made such a beautiful addition to our wedding and I had tears in my eyes when I received my boquet that day. It was more beautiful then I ever imagined!

Thanks Jan!

She was very honest on what flowers she would be able to get during the season. She created my vintage style wedding centerpieces (sunflowers mixed with green and white flowers in wooden boxes), hanging mason jar vases for the aisle (sunflowers with green and white fillers), the boutineers and corsages (orchids and daisies) for sponsors and groomsmen, and my all white head table centerpiece and wedding bouquet (roses, lilies, and more). She did a beautiful job! I was very happy with her work, her personality and her prices. She delivered the flowers, set them up, she even set up my candles for each table at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga and was so very helpful. She showed up on time and had everything completed right on time. I would recommend Jan to anyone. Just be clear on what you want and your budget and she will work with you. Thank you for making my special day amazing! Everything was gorgeous! xoxo - Joyce & Len Kandt

I inquired on the website for balloon services for my upcoming baby shower. Per Nicole's website,…read morethe balloon garland started at $100, which I thought was reasonable. I filled out the online form with my baby shower date and additional info. Then Nicole messaged me and we had a good interaction. She gave me lots of info on the services that she provides. She emailed me the quote for $150 for a small balloon garland, addition $20 for delivery and plus tax which would be $180 ish total. Im totally fine with the price but since im based in the same city as Nicole, i did asked if i can pick up the balloons. She said they dont do pickup which is fine. I wanted more clarification on the price and wanted to make sure the price would cover for the length and gave her an inspo pic for my balloon shades. I was open for discussions and wanted to make sure the price would cover what im asking for.... Out of the blue, she said she was busy on my date even though she was well-aware of my baby shower date beforehand. She apologized and said her website hasnt been updated but I felt she was being shady and wasted my time.

She is timely, organized, extremely professional and really knows how to plan a wedding like the back of her hand. I respect and love how professional she is, but what really does it for me, is her kind and fun demeanor. She is so fun to work with! I can't say enough good things! All brides are on a budget and I know our first thought is, "we can do it ourselves!" Nicole has proven her value to me over and over of why I need a wedding coordinator. Her mentoring throughout the process is INVALUABLE! I would be lost without her. And I know on the wedding day she will be the reason I have peace of mind, knowing she understands, loves and can execute my vision. She is a fully capable, intelligent and hard working person that I KNOW everyone could benefit from!! Which is why I sing such high praises!

I remember exchanging ideas with her, she is full of great concepts, and she came up with an open mandap design that was BEAUTIFUL. She took the ombre flower inspo I showed her and made it her own, seriously better than I could have imagined! the week leading up to the wedding was stressful, and she really helped put us at ease, and even went above and beyond to get the items we needed to complete our decor. She really pulled off a miracle on the last day, and for that I am so grateful to her!! She handled the wedding decor with so much care and thought I have nothing but good things to say. I would recommend her to anyone. THANK YOU SO MUCH ANN!!

I love how each and every event was STUNNING but also unique to the couple. How lucky I was that she was available on my wedding day! Over the course of the past 9 months, Ann was always so patient, professional and insightful. She was so accommodating to multiple changes in our wedding decor throughout the whole process and was so receptive to updating the decor almost at the last minute to make sure everything complimented each other once we had received our wedding outfits. She suggested and implemented amazing ideas to make sure everything detail shined. She is one of the busiest vendors in the Bay Area, but she always made time for us. I can't thank you enough Ann for your creativity, insight and your patience! I also love how transparent Ann was throughout the process regarding pricing and budget - something that is rare to find in the wedding industry. When I would show her design I liked that was out of our budget, Ann came up with creative ways to get almost the exact same look within our budget. She always puts her couples first and goes all out for each and every one of them. Our wedding day had a tight schedule with a fast turnaround between the ceremony and reception with two entirely different looks for both events. Ann and her team executed perfectly. Every detail was FLAWLESS. Our families and guests are still in awe from all of the decor. We are still in awe from all of the decor. It truly was a fairytale wedding, completely unique to me and my husband. We cannot thank Ann and AAB Creations enough! AAB Creations is truly the best florist/decor company in the Bay and we highly recommend AAB Creations. We would choose Ann and her team again and again!

As a guy who did not initially want a big wedding because if all the stress and details required in…read moreputting something like that together. I can honestly say our wedding day ended up way better than I could have imagined and one of the best days my wife and I have ever had. This is in no small part due to the professionalism and experience of Jenn and her totally awesome associate, Dawn Predium. Planning the wedding ourselves was truly a task for my wife and I who got engaged a year prior. We knew nothing about throwing a party what less a wedding and as the day loomed closer, our stress level rose through the roof. We found out about Jenn on craigslist and after the initial phone calls and emails we felt very comfortable with them and ended up meeting a week prior to our wedding for her to be our "Day of Wedding Coordinator". They were both very nice and definitely knew the in's and outs of throwing a wedding. My fiance and I felt such a huge sigh of relief after that one meeting we kicked ourselves for not finding a planner sooner. Jenn assigned Dawn Predium who was at the meeting with her to help us since Jenn would be busy with another event if I recall correctly. We did not in any way feel like we were missing out by having Dawn instead of Jenn helping us. Dawn had a list of things she needed from us and once she got that we pretty much left everything to her. Behind the scenes she worked with our vendors. The church, the reception hall, limo driver, photographer, bakery, florist, videographer and coordinated everything with them to where my fiance and I didn't have to think about them which was helpful since family started trickling in from out of town. The day of the wedding went without a hitch. Dawn's coordination with the vendors was amazing which was evident from the time our photographers arrived at the hotel for the "getting ready" photos and when our wedding entourage walked into the reception hall for the first time with everything in place and the dj on cue During the reception my wife and I were packing a lot of things in a seemingly short amount of time and Dawn was there unobtrusively making sure everything went smoothly. Dawn went beyond the call of duty, always making sure my fiance and I were comfortable, had everything we needed and seamlessy covering for the short falls of our hard partying groomsmen and bridesmaids. By the end of the night, Dawn had already taken care of all the vendors. She made sure our gifts, money box etc were handled safely by the right people. And pretty much all we had to do was leave the hall behind us and look forward to our new married life together. If I could do this whole wedding experience over again I would hired a wedding planner from the very beginning. Whatever they charge is almost negligible for the amount of stress you'll save yourselves and the flawless execution of a big event. I will always recommend Jenn and Dawn. Dawn, Jenn.. this review was long overdue and I still don't feel like I completely expressed our wonderful experience and appreciation for you two. You did an outstanding job and we wish you a lot of success and the best of luck because you truly deserve it.

My husband and I used Jen as our wedding planner 2 years ago. I've got to say she was a lifesaver…read more We were both in Los Angeles, but were planning a wedding in the bay area. So we definitely needed help coordinating everything a scheduling all the vendors, especially to schedule the meeting of the vendors for the weekends that we would be in town. Jen helped coordinate vendors for tasting so that we could take care of everything over a weekend. She was super helpful in setting up vendors which I had provided (our location had a recommended vendor listing and required the caterer to be on the "approved" list), along with providing some references for dj/live music and cake tasting. In the end Jen definitely helped make things go smoothly, she handled all the logistical details including have to transport the cake from Los Gatos to Belmont (Ralston Hall)!! That was an amazing feat. She and caterer had to assemble the cake on site at the mansion. And overall it was beautiful and absolutely perfect. I've got say, Jen was an amazing help with my wedding and for her rates you are getting an incredible deal and a lot less worries on your big day. I wish her the best of luck!

My wife and I had our wedding at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga and Sophie was amazing. Our…read morewedding ended up being perfect but it certainly WOULD NOT have been perfect if it was not for Sophie. Sophie was on-top of everything and put together a very detailed day-of plan. We worked with her to review / update the plan and then make sure all of our vendors had the plan. She also did a detailed review of all of the vendor contracts + she also did a great job of asking us questions we had not thought to ask. Most importantly, Sophie was perfect on the day of the wedding. All members of her team were very professional. They also caught a number of vendor / venue mistakes and corrected them before we ever noticed. Lastly, she was flexible with the schedule. While we were visiting all of our guests, she was not pushy and let us take our time with our guests. I have seen other wedding coordinators start hustling the bride and groom from table to table and never thought that was cool. Sophie let us do our thing (it is our wedding after all) and then told us how we had to adjust the schedule once we were done talking with all of our guests. She then worked with the vendors to make sure they were all in line. My wife and I both HIGHLY recommend Sophie. She did an excellent job both preparing for the wedding and the day of the wedding!

And I finally made my mind to quit my job, leave all my friends and move to bay area from Chicago. Sophie is very flexible due to my limited schedule.

On all of these occasions, I was immensely impressed with the thoughtful and on-point theme, beautiful and creative decorations, attention to detail, and artful presentation. When I used Bouquets & Confetti's services, they skillfully executed my specific requests and I felt my wishes were honored. And where I wasn't sure which direction to go, they provided such helpful advice and had such fantastic ideas that I felt comfortable deferring to their expertise.

I could not recommend them more highly, nor would I hesitate to use them for an event I'm hosting in the future.

Choosing Janice as our wedding planner was the best decision my fiancé and I made throughout the…read morewhole wedding planning process. She was the first vendor we ever booked, and she is worth every penny and so much more. A month after we got engaged, my fiancé and I decided to try and visit some venues. After visiting seven wedding venues in two days and driving a total of 8 hours back and forth, we decided we can't do this alone, and needed a wedding planner. We chose Janice because of her exceptional background experience and her willingness to customize a package that fit our needs and our budget. Janice is very professional, responds to emails very quickly, which was very important to me, and she's just fun and easy to work with. Janice started us off with a checklist every month that listed things that we should and need to do. Janice helped us find a beautiful venue that fit our required parameters. Without Janice's help, it would be highly unlikely that we would have found Half Moon Bay Golf Links as a venue. It was perfect in the fact that it was by the ocean, had a beautiful backdrop of the Ritz Carlton, and the menu served steak and lobster, which was a must! Not only did Janice help us secure a venue, she also helped us find a DJ and when we decided last minute that we wanted a videographer, she tapped into her extensive network to give us some options within our price range. Janice helped us review all contracts we signed with other vendor which was super helpful because sometimes we would miss details that we would want clarified within the contract. She also negotiated rates on our behalf and saved us thousands of dollars, literally. Janice always had our best interest in mind. Janice was always on top of things and super responsive over emails. We did almost all of our correspondences over email. We met with Janice for the first time during our menu tasting at our venue. She came prepared and full of questions for the venue and took copious notes. After the meeting she followed up with the venue coordinator to nail down the details. Janice sent us a template of a minute-by-minute timeline that served as a way to organized and plan our wedding day. When she first sent it to us, it was one and a half pages. She mentioned that by the time the wedding rolled around, the document would be 10+ pages. It was hard to imagine at first, because we thought how much more details could there possibly be? Little did we know that as we planned and organized our day and all the logistics, the document ended up to be 17 pages long! It literally was a minute by minute break down of our wedding day. We shared it with our family and friends and everyone knew exactly what was going on and when. The father of the bride was so impressed with Janice's professionalism. Our wedding day was a great success and everything went off without a hitch, at least that is how we saw things. If anything did go awry or a miss, we didn't know about it and that was because Janice was on top of everything! She made sure everything and everyone was where they were supposed to be and that our day was flawless. We had many friends come up to us during the reception asking for Janice's contact info, they were all equally amazed by the wonderful work she does. Without Janice, we would not have been able to enjoy our wedding and just be present in the moment. Even after the wedding, Janice sent a friendly email reminding us of things we should take care of, like sending in the marriage certificate and little details on the gifts and cards that people had given us on the day. Janice is truly the best of the best, and we are so fortunate to have worked with her. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

The hubby and I didn't truly understand the need for hiring a day-of wedding coordinator until we…read morewere about 3 months out from the wedding and I started freaking out about all the things we still had to do. We were also reluctant to get one because the planners we've seen or heard of previously either weren't good or didn't really do much. But hiring Janice was one of THE best wedding decisions we made, if not the very best because we truly believe it would've been a hot mess without her! We live in NY but wed in San Francisco and both of us worked way too much to plan a destination wedding, so she definitely didn't have an easy task. I researched and contacted a ton of planners, but ultimately hired Janice because she was the only one that consistently responded right away, was really friendly, and had a background in corporate event planning in NY. I figured - if she responds right away, she'll be on top of things, and if she can handle NYC corporate events, she can pretty much handle anything. Janice definitely didn't disappoint and was AMAAAZING! Her minute by minute timeline is enough to hire her on the spot. Our vendors and wedding party were really impressed. If there were any hiccups during our wedding, I had no idea about them because she handled everything with grace and kept us both super relaxed throughout the day. Our family and friends also LOVED her and thought she was the best wedding coordinator they've ever seen and have been recommending her left and right. Even though we hired her for day-of planning, it's not really day-of because she ended up doing super detailed planning at least 2 months out with all of our vendors. She's incredibly professional, amazingly organized, super friendly even in the most stressful situations and best of all, she made sure we ENJOYED OUR WEDDING! Every single couple we talked to before the big day kept telling us how stressful it would be and how we wouldn't even have time to eat. But, she actually made sure we had time to enjoy our food and have FUN!!! Our wedding was such a blast, thanks to Janice!

In our opinion, that is the mark of a great coordinator. I would strongly recommend Pink Peony Weddings to anybody who is in the planning stages of their wedding - hiring Pink Peony to coordinate our wedding was one of the best investments we made.
