We ended up working through 3 versions and adding desserts with no problem and had an appetizer spread, chicken and vegetables dinner and a dessert bar (we brought our own alcohol, but Crave coordinated a bartender). The food was delicious! We got many compliments and everything went smoothly on the big day! We would highly recommend.

Natalie created the most amazing wedding flowers for our 8/8/2020 Grand Canyon Elopement! I have…read moreordered many bouquets from Natalie, and I knew her quality of work is exemplary. She was the only florist I wanted to create my wedding flowers. I gave her the giant challenge of creating flowers that would last a plane ride and two days before I used them, and she killed it! Natalie came up with a creative solution to make me exactly what I wanted, and the flowers looked AMAZING! On a side note, the day we got back from our wedding my father had to have emergency surgery. I called Natalie that night, and she took the time to make me a bouquet for him that she delivered the next morning. Natalie goes above and beyond for her clients. Bellingham is lucky to have this talented women as a resident.

We were referred to Hazel Designs by our wedding planners. We spent $5,000 on floral for a small…read morewedding that included one bridal bouquet, 10 table centerpieces, suspended greenery, 3 floor arrangements, arbor floral, colorful bud vases/market flowers, and a few misc. accent florals. All vases were purchased separately and were not included in the floral cost. Leading up to the wedding Annika was difficult to communicate with, did not provide any floral mockups, and did not send an invoice or contract until 19 days before our wedding. Once we finally received an invoice, we wanted to scale back just a bit to stay closer to our budget. She charged us an extra $60 design fee for "last minute" changes. I'll be honest, that was very frustrating considering the ONLY reason our requested changes were last minute is because she didn't send an invoice earlier. We were understandably nervous about her overt lack of professionalism, but we stuck with her because our wedding planners assured us that she always comes through on the day of. Our planners were correct - she came through on the day of and exceeded our expectations! She was on time and professional. She transformed an empty greenhouse into a beautiful, lush setting and the dinner table looked like something out of a magazine. We LOVED the bridal bouquet ($250); the suspended greenery over the aisle ($900); the cut bamboo greenery for the greenhouse walls ($280); and the floor arrangements ($340). For the table centerpieces, we ordered 4 large and 6 small centerpieces ($610) to have some height variety. We received 10 beautiful arrangements that were all the same size. Although we loved how the centerpieces looked, it is worth noting that it was not what we ordered. We were not happy with the reception florals (colorful flowers for 24 small bud vases). She charged us $12 for just the floral in each, for a total of $288 and that was definitely overpriced for what we received. All in all, the positives outweighed the negatives and we're grateful for all the work the Hazel Design team did to make our wedding magical.

Sarah Postma rocks!…read more She did an amazing job capturing our proposal. Had K not pointed her out after popping the question, I never would have known she was there taking pics of us! In fact, when he pointed to her, my immediate instinct was to think that she was one of our friends because she waved and looked so friendly. Not only was Sarah kind and responsive throughout the communication process of setting things up for the big surprise, but another plus was the option to pay via credit card online. We are extremely pleased with the output of her work! Creative angles, perfectly timed snapshots of our expressions, and overall, flawless execution! I really appreciate the logistics of it all too. She had to arrive with plenty of time, keep an eye out for us, and really work under pressure! A USB of both color and black and white photos was mailed to us with a personalized handwritten card within 2 weeks, and oh! The preview of a few key photos emailed that very night was an awesome perk! The only part we're bummed out about is that she wasn't available for our wedding day!

The photos pop with superb lighting, excellent backdrops, and the subjects' personalities. Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos. We were impressed during our first meeting with her by her portfolio and genuine kindness. Our engagement shoot was fun. Sarah directed us and always kept an upbeat, positive attitude that really set the tone for the evening. The day of the wedding, Sarah and her assistant Beckie came early to take "getting ready" photos of both parties. Then, we headed to a nearby park to take wedding party photos. Sarah and Beckie continued to keep the energy light and happy throughout the 2 hour shoot before the wedding. The wedding ceremony, reception, family and dance photos are exceptional. Sarah and Beckie captured hundreds of memories, laughs, and moments of joy. They meshed well with the wedding party and felt more like guests than hired photographers. I can't stress enough how wonderful Sarah made the whole experience feel. My husband and I have looked through the library of photos dozens of times and still find hidden gems. Sarah truly has a passion for her work and was dedicated in her effort to preserve this important event. Thank you, Sarah, for all you have done and we hope to run into you in Bellingham!
