I especially appreciated her recommendations of other vendors in our price range. Ashley was our day-of planner. She was wonderful! Completely on top of every last detail throughout the weekend. I could fully relax on my wedding day knowing that she was handling it. Thank you so much, Ashley and Nicola!

We turned to Nicola at Simply Brilliant when we realized that while we didn't need a full service…read morewedding planner, we did want someone who could help keep us on track with planning and make sure we were not missing anything important during the planning process, but especially to have someone who could be there the day of the wedding to make sure that we would be able to relax, and that no family members had to stress out over helping us instead of just enjoying our day with us. During the process, Nicola was very organized and professional, and was very accepting that we did not need her full services. But she did provide us with an excellent timeline of where we should be during the planning process, as well as provided us with solid vendor recommendations. Was also more difficult because one of us was organizing the wedding from long distance, and we very much appreciated her help in supporting our local family in accomplishing all our goals. Our wedding turned out flawlessly and we owe part of her to her organization and mindfulness. On the day of the wedding, she did an excellent job in making sure things went smoothly and that everything progressed on time, and worked well with our families and our reception venue coordinator.

I do not even know where to begin with Petit Fleur Events! Corrina and her husband were SO…read morewelcoming to me from the moment that I stepped foot in their shop! They greeted me with wine and were just so welcoming! I felt like I was visiting old friends! Being that I am so excited about my wedding, I visited Petit Fleur before officially placing a deposit on my venue. Word to the wise, do not make floral appointments, ANY APPOINTMENTS for that matter, until you have secured your wedding venue! During my first appointment Corrina literally took out 15 table cloths, chargers, topiaries, forks, knives, goblets, YOU NAME IT and set it on a table in the showroom just so I could get a vision of what my table could look like at my reception! No other florist or event planner has gone to those lengths on the first appointment to give me a real vision of what I could be potentially expecting. I was literally blown away! Now that I have FINALLY secured my venue and have my wedding date set in stone, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will be using Petit Fleur to decorate my ceremony/reception venue! P.S I was very shocked to read some of the negative reviews about the owner! She is a gem! I probably have an email thread of 17 messages going back and forth with her (and I have only been planning for 2 months)! I wanted to change my tablecloth- not a problem, I wanted to change the chargers- not a problem, I wanted to subtract the gold silverware that I was so adamant on including in the quote, lol,- not a problem! She has been so accommodating! I am so exited to work with them for my wedding!

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

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.

Bride here! Hiring…read moreJessica's planning company was the most disappointing decision of our wedding. From the beginning, her attitude was condescending and dismissive, making what should have been an exciting process stressful and frustrating. She was juggling multiple jobs and even accepted another wedding on the same day as ours. Because of that, we did not receive the level of attention, support, or coordination we were promised and paid for. Several members of our bridal party were brought to tears by how she spoke to them. During the event, guests asked her for help finding their seats, and she replied that she "wasn't part of that process." Whether she was or not, I hired and paid for day-of coordination, which absolutely includes assisting guests and ensuring things run smoothly. Her lack of professionalism and care were evident throughout the entire experience. A planner's job is to reduce stress -- she did the opposite. Please think carefully before hiring this company. I wouldn't want another couple to go through what we did.

She also had many excellent recommendations for vendors, ordering save-the-dates and wedding invitations, and ideal day-of-timelines. My now husband said that Dalia was great and that he was grateful that she helped take the stress out of our special day. Side note, my husband initially didn't think we needed a wedding planner because I'm "really organized." After the wedding, he saw why getting a wedding planner was absolutely necessary, even for an organized bride like me. If you're on the fence about getting a wedding planner, GO WITH DALIA!
