However, I live 2 hours away - not practical.

She is always busy and you need to schedule appointments, drops won't work. Judy let us get our own vases, motif , and mirrors. That was pretty cool. My wife designed the vases and dropped them off with Judy a couple weeks prior to the big day. All Judy really did was advise us on flowers to order and deliver them. Here is why only three stars. The vases were dropped off at the wrong tables!!! The brides bouquet was the same size as her brides maids. Not worth the price of 75 dollars really. It looked no different from her bridesmaids bouquet . The flowers did not last past the night. Although flowers were taking care in the vases and bouquet they wilted the next morning.

Judy is amazing!!…read more She did my wedding flowers on June 28th 2014 and they were perfect! When I first met her I was stressed out because my first florist quit on me (other commitments?!) 7 months before my wedding. I had talked to two others since the first and they all wanted me to up my budget because of my ballroom/glamor theme. Enter Judy...I told her my vision and I told her my price and she made it work. Not only was she organized, personable and detailed but her work is exquisite. She asked me select personal questions like if we as a couple had a special flower (white roses) and what our tastes were like. The taste was primarily my vision...cascading bling and fluffy white flowers. The bouquet were made to my theme colors and she selected flowers that were ruffled and romantic. She gave me a detailed payment sheet and she was so flexible to all my requests: more roses, large roses...etc. I highly recommend Judy...she's the best!

I'm sorry but as much as I've tried to get past this it will always haunt me…read more Sandy was hired by my mother for my wedding August 2, 2025. I wish I could give a better rating but I just can't, had she not taken a back seat approach I would have. I'm sure Sandy will leave something to contradict everything I have written but honestly I just wish she would have been way more professional and not let her feelings affect my big day. I am usually a high rater when I do reviews and most of my other reviews reflect that. I've written many over the years so if I'm writing a review, there's a reason. I'm not going to sit here and draw out a big list so message me if you'd like the 411. The ceremony was pretty good other than the guests being out in the hot sun for 20 minutes , I'll give her that. As for the reception , i didn't know is the videographer didn't have the video montage that all our parents were working with him on and Sandy didn't want my mom to fix it. Sandy was in a bad mood due to this and was pouting and my husband, my mother and I paid the price. She is still upset about things, understandably so. The reception started out good until sunset/golden hour photos. I was given zero instruction for this, there was no communication whatsoever and there should have been. When it was running longer for whatever reason my mom wanted to wrap up the photos yet Sandy said no. Sandy repeatedly didn't listen to my mother even though she paid her and even tipped her at the end. I will admit initially our response was everything was fine but after we sat with it, it just wasn't. Bottom line- time taking photo after photo could have been cut short and I could have gotten to mingle with my guests. Some of them flew from far away to make it to our wedding. I'll never get that back and that saddens me most. I've been told by guests that while they had a decent time, they wish they got to spend time with us. Most did not get any time with us. Edited to add: communication, and delivery should have been better, all of it was severely lacking. Both my husband and I have tried to contact Sandy about our concerns. Not once did she really listen. I wish she would have been professional but she just was not. This is the honest truth of how things turned out. She also trashed my mother and my maid of honor online and would not take down her post until my mom told her that my friend has a disability Why am I writing this now? I'd written something like this a while back ago but decided to take it down, but now I think that some time has passed I can write a version that reads better. So my advice: proceed with caution. There a reason she only has 12 reviews.

Going into the process, we had no idea what we didn't know. Things like vendors, day of logistics, even how our wedding parties would organize themselves on our wedding day was a mystery to us and having Sandy in our corner helped us in a million ways. Her connections in the wedding industry helped us narrow down and select vendors with ease. She secured us a last minute photo booth which ended being a huge highlight of our night. It even rained on our wedding day, right before our outdoor ceremony, but Sandy was on top of everything and organized guests to help dry and reset our venue behind the scenes. Our wedding was amazing and we owe so much of that to Sandy. I dont make many yelp reviews but our experience with Strings & Champagne Events was so positive that I had to log in and recommend this to anyone looking to host an event in the NorCal area. Thanks again Sandy, you helped us create so many memories that will last a lifetime.

I am so very thankful I found Ames Haus! Ariana was absolutely amazing through the entire process!…read moreI had let her know up front that we were funding our wedding and working with a pretty strict budget for florals, but that I love fresh flowers and we were hoping to make our florals our "decorations" since we are both pretty simple and wanted the natural beauty of fall to be our "decor". She worked closely with us to really nail down our "vision", and when we met in late summer she actually had a mock up (using real/gorgeous flowers!) and allowed us to take the centerpiece home. That blew me away! In late August I had a bit of a change in my vision due to bridesmaid dresses, and I expressed my concern (lighter colors, etc). She knew the exact fix, and the bouquets were breathtaking. When she delivered the boquets to the hotel, they nearly brought me to tears (I already had makeup done so I couldn't cry!) They were beyond my expectations, and just perfect! When I arrived at the reception, she had also gone WAY above and beyond by providing chair florals (which were not within our budget) and also had prepared a "special" head table centerpiece. I had multiple people ask for her information, and without hesitation I would recommend for any event! She was such a nice person to work with, and her product was just beyond perfect! I'm sure there is so much more behind he scenes I don't even know about (I got word she stayed to help set out the centerpieces/chair florals at our venue, etc) but everything I do know makes me so greatful we found her! Thank you so much for making my wedding flower dreams come true!

Judi was our wedding planner. We worked with her for about 6 months. She was very focused and…read moredetermined during our phone meetings and preparation leading up to our special day. We knew going into this will be a tough assignment for not only our vendors but specifically for our planner, Judi. My wife asked multiple times if Judi and her husband will be able to complete the task because there is only two of them running the show. Judi insisted and stated that they'll be able to get the job done. I am not a planner nor is trying to be one, but I think it will be best to have more people on your team to be able to deal with 140 guests, rather than just 2. A walkie talkie or a communication device would've also been helpful. Especially when my wife was looking for Judi. Her husband was her assistant. We saw him help out the caterers. It would've been more helpful if he helped Judi by helping the guest or directing the guest to their appropriate places. Another issue prior to the ceremony was about 3 days prior. Judi miss calculated and informed our venue owner that our family members were going to help clean up/breakdown after the ceremony is over. We did not tell her that our family will help the post party cleaning up. We had to scrounge for a cleanup crew 2 days before the ceremony, which was very stressful. Our wedding is a nontraditional wedding. The wedding will have a small private ceremony consisted of about 30 to 40 family members and close friends. The rest of the guests will arrive at a later time after the ceremony to enjoy the wedding reception. During our wedding reception, we specifically informed Judi that our wedding ceremony will be a small ceremony that consisted of immediate family and close friends. Judi, my wife, and I all agreed that if anybody who shows up uninvited to the ceremony will be escorted out, we also agreed that if for any reason the other guest arrives early, there will be a tape or the gates will be blocked off for anybody who comes in early prior to the reception. Once our small ceremony ended. Some of our family and friends that arrived saw us coming down from the ceremony area. The gates or the pathways were supposed to be blocked off or sectioned off so that way the rest of our guest who were not invited to the small ceremony will not be offended. There were people that were not supposed to be at the small ceremony and they got through. We felt that Judi did not direct the guest appropriately. Judi also did an occular visit at the venue back in April so we expected she was familiar with the venue. My wife even insisted for Judi not to help her with changing her wedding dress, so that way she can focus with the reception. Few things that we also did not want to see you during our ceremony was the lack of communication between emcee, DJ, and the planner. They all seem confused. Few instances Judi was hard to get a hold of. Her cell phone was turned off. My wife had myself run to Judi so that 2 of our invited guest can be seated. They drove all the way from apple valley (8hrs away) They stood there for a bit before I pointed out that they were invited. Their names were on the seating chart. There was not enough space for them to sit down. The seating chart that we agreed on was not the same one on the day of the wedding. We also noticed some a few things that were not supposed to be at the ceremony. Fake flowers that were not supposed to be in a spot where it did not belong. We only borrowed her bathroom signs, favors signs and dessert stands. Flowers were fake flowers that were not instructed to add since we ordered fresh flowers. Also, things were added to the ceremony which were not discussed. We also did not like the finger pointing by Judi and MC. This shows denying responsibilities during the ceremony and reception. Judi looked very stressed during the ceremony and reception. Her mood was obviously different from our previous phone conversations.There were only 15 people watching the video at the cocktail table. The guests were in the 3 tables at the arbor side. My wife and I agree at one of the comments that the bride made on these reviews. We initially did not want to create a review, but we asked Judi if she can talk to us. She sounded avoidant. We also felt like she sounded very sweet and want us to hear what we want to hear. The games were a success. We know this is a small business. The venue has 3 tier sections and its non- traditional. The number of assistance Judi only had was her husband. Judi and her husband was no match for 140 guests. We felt that our day was very disorganized. The games were successful. We don't want to give a bad review. This is not to discredit or insult or disrespect their business. My wife and I just wanted to express our experience with them.

I cannot say enough great things about Stella and Co!

Thank you, Stella and Co, for not only saving our wedding but also bringing linens that were even more beautiful than the ones I originally rented.
