How do I begin? William and his staff were truly a dream come true. It only took two visits to William's gorgeous shop in North Bergen for him to translate my vision into BEYOND reality. I had never received more compliments in my life than the ones I received regarding my florals. First of all, William is dedicated and passionate about his work and his clients. He showed up at the venue to set up at 11am for a 6pm ceremony to make sure everything was set up and perfect. I knew I had nothing to worry about. Our venue featured a gazebo, which Willliam transformed into a STUNNING work of art consisting of a garland with Italian Ruscus, roses in multiple shades of white and blush, and the most gorgeous burgundy peonies. Upon entering the ceremony, guests were stunned by two pedestals containing urns filled with florals at the entrance to the aisle. He lined the aisle with incredible wood lanterns wrapped in garland. This tied into the theme of our centerpieces, which consisted of gold lanterns, surrounded by a wreath made up of hydrangeas, peonies, hypericum berries, and pearl pins; they were breathtaking. William amazed me with his attention to detail; my bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents had beautiful ranunculus with white hypericum berries and freesia. For my grandmother, who I cherish, he created a beautiful pearl wristlet; she felt so special and loved - which is exactly what I wanted. William is so kind-hearted; I have to say my favorite part (which is very hard to choose) would be my unbelievable bouquet. I will try to upload photos; but marrying your best friend, carrying an incredible piece of art made my day so special. I love eucalyptus and William made the most of that; combined with burgundy/wine elements, such as scabiosa, cream and blush garden roses, the rare burgundy peonies, hydrangeas and more. It was flowing, loose, and looked like it had come out of a magazine. I felt beautiful, and the flowers had a lot to do with that. My husband wore navy blue, and the satin wrap for my bouquet was navy; which tied everything together. I should also mention that I wanted navy blue bows tied around the chairs lining the aisle, and William executed my vision impeccably. As guests entered the reception area, they laid their eyes on a custom barn-wood and drift-wood escort card table added to a piece of artwork in landscape profile with a base to fit twelve 5x7 place cards. I have gotten so many compliments on the details involved in creating all of these elements. Above all else, other than making my dream come true, working with William is something I will never forget. I feel blessed to have been introduced to him by Jacquelyn Mavrookas of EVJ Wedding Co. out of Hoboken, NJ. The two of them are like Bonnie & Clyde - creating unforgettable weddings together; I would recommend William and Beethoven's Veranda for ANY occasion; big or small, rain or shine. He WILL make your vision come to life, and I am forever grateful for him and the love he puts into his work. Thank you William- we love you! read more
