Words can not capture how amazing my wedding florals were; from my gorgeous bouquet of mokara and cymbidium orchids (I was delighted with the surprise of added lady slippers) to the dramatic cascading phalaenopsis at our round wedding altar to the stunning arrangement of dendrobiums that greeted my guests on arrival. Can you tell I love orchids? The process of deciding on my wedding florals was so easy with Ronn's guidance and I loved meeting with him and his team at the Vaso Bello salon. He totally understood my (orchid) vision and we made adjustments together until I was happy and the results did not disappoint! On my wedding day, Ronn's presence meant so much to me. This showed me that he really cared and personally checked in with me to make sure that I was happy (I was thrilled!).Selecting Vaso Bello Celebrations was one of the best decisions for my wedding and I am so grateful to Ronn and his team for making our day so special and beautiful!

Some of our wedding flowers were absolutely beautiful. But the most important ones, the ceremony…read morearrangements, were a real letdown. The quality felt inconsistent, and when we reached out afterward, we never heard back. If you're thinking about booking them, there are a few things we wish we had asked up front. We hired Vaso Bello for our wedding at La Quinta Resort in May 2025. We met with a few florists, but Ron stood out right away. He seemed to really get what we wanted. Even though the quote was a little higher than others, we felt good about putting our trust in him. His style is beautiful and the reviews were glowing, so we felt confident we'd be in great hands. To be fair, some parts of the floral design were exactly what we hoped for. We loved the terracotta vases on the dinner tables, and the flowers in our lounge area were absolutely stunning. They were full, colorful, and just gorgeous. That part truly felt like us. But that same care didn't carry through to everything. The ceremony florals, which were supposed to frame us during our vows, ended up being really underwhelming. They felt small, dull, and nothing like what we had imagined or discussed. They didn't add any real impact to the moment. Those arrangements are now in all our ceremony photos, and it's hard not to feel disappointed by that. We emailed after the wedding to share how we felt and ask if they could offer any explanation or even just acknowledge it. We never got a response. We're not sharing this to be harsh. We know how much work goes into weddings, and we truly believe Vaso Bello is capable of beautiful designs. We just didn't get consistency, and the lack of follow-up made it harder to move on. If you're thinking about working with them, we'd suggest being really clear about which floral moments matter most to you. Don't assume that just because something is in the proposal, it will be prioritized. If your date falls near a big flower weekend like Mother's Day (which ours did), ask how that could affect things. And don't be shy about checking in before the wedding to make sure everything is still on track. We hope this helps other couples going through the planning process. Every couple deserves to feel great about their wedding day and their photos. Update: After we posted this review, Ron reached out, apologized, and offered a refund for half of the ceremony florals. We appreciated the follow-up and the gesture. It didn't change how we felt about the experience overall, but it did show that he cared and wanted to make it right.

I will never forget... when she arrived to the bridal suite, she brought me some delicious caffeine teas so I can get a boost of energy because I told her I was exhausted and didn't sleep well. It is such a small gesture, but meant a lot to me (I felt so cared for). She truly goes above and beyond and we will absolutely be keeping her in mind if we need to plan any events in the future. We love you Jessica!

On our big day Heather and her team took care of everything! We didn't need to think about anything except marrying one another (and our coordinated first dance ). Heather is very sweet and reassuring which helped put us at ease. She even won over our 4 yr old nephew who can be difficult, and he did a great job as the ring bearer thanks to her!

She styled our tables beautifully and made sure everything at the venue was gorgeous. Most importantly, she worked with me within our (limited) decor budget to bring in some nice low-cost touches like candles and decorative vases. Gaynor's work behind the scenes allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy the celebration. She kept everything smooth and calm all day long.

Shannon Romjin was the absolute best. From the very beginning of the planning process all the way through the final moments of our wedding weekend, Shannon was there every step of the way. She was organized, calm, professional, thoughtful, and somehow always one step ahead of everything. I honestly did not realize how much we needed a wedding planner until working with Shannon. She made the entire experience feel effortless and allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. Every detail was handled, every question was answered, and every problem was solved before we even knew it existed. Shannon went above and beyond for us in ways we can never fully repay. She made us feel cared for, supported, and completely confident that everything was under control. She exceeded our expectations in every possible way. And according to my now husband, it is very important that I mention that Shannon is also the Bow Tie Queen. There was no bow tie emergency she couldn't handle! Joey and Shannon became such a special part of our wedding journey, and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. If you are considering Artisan Events, stop looking and book them.

I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.
