They literally turned my backyard into a picturesque Italian Villa. No detail was missed, and every step of the planning process, from vision boards, budgets, rental selections and personal touches were methodical and just a breeze.

Thank you Oscar for your personable touch and exquisite demeanor.

I probably told him that a million times, "it's either OscarbyOscar or no one". He is that good !!!! All I had to do was give him my theme "Twilight" and not only did he deliver, but everything was impeccable !! The decor was breathtaking, phenomenal, something straight from a movie. Every single detail was perfect, it was timeless. If I can say one thing about him would be OUTSTANDING. He is a delightful person to work with incredible talent. A persons wedding is something that will be treasured and remembered for years to come, and having Oscar and his team create and deliver that for a couple is the ultimate gift. Investing in Oscar is the best thing any couple can do, he seriously outdid my expectations. There are a million and one wedding coordinators/event designers out there, but no one will give you that comfort and ease like OscarbyOscar. Oscar, we love you forever. Our hearts are filled with such amazing memories and we owe all of that to you. Love, Genesis and Adrian Silva

She was a preferred vendor by our venue so we trusted her. When the California Governor shut down California two weeks before our December wedding, the venue cancelled our wedding on us. Amanda stole from me by refusing to give me my money back, not even half. She provided absolutely nothing in return even though she harvests her own flowers and they did not go to waste. I truly thought she was a genuine person after speaking with her on the phone several times, but at the end of the day all she cared about was money and couldn't have cared less that my wedding was cancelled on me. I would NOT recommend her as your florist.. she is a thief

Very popular shop. There was a line when we arrived and a line when we left. The pie shop is next door to the store where they sold apples and fresh apple juice. There were cups of apple juice in the fridge that you could help yourself to as samples; very refreshing and delicious. The store also sold lots of kitchen knickknacks and some toys and fun things.
