I'm a transplant to Northwest Iowa, so when I discovered The Hen House years ago - with its…read morebig-city charm, gifts and home decor options in a small-town setting - I fell in love. I often tell the owners that if The Hen House ever leaves town -- I'm outta here, as welI! The Hen House is my favorite shopping destination in Spencer. I also love to bring my out-of-town company to experience it for themselves, because it's tons of fun! They offer amazing seasonal items, baby gifts galore (ear of corn chew toy is my favorite staple gift), house wares, kitchen/dining, funking jewelry, pillos, lamps candles. . . Oh, and to receive a gift card from The Hen House is like finding a little lump of precious gold in your pocketbook.

They went above and beyond for us and for that I am grateful for this once in a lifetime moment. We were able to be at venue Friday night for rehearsal, all day Saturday for the wedding, and Sunday to clean up. Which I know most places don't allow. The venue itself is beautiful. Lots are flowers, gardens, and birds chirping. The reception was outside and food was set up inside which was nice. They also allowed the reception party to go on till midnight which was awesome. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

We were recently faced with the loss of our father. We wanted to show how much of a loving and…read moreunique person he was. We contacted Tina and discussed the picture we wanted to portray at his memorial. With little more than 24 hours to accomplish this task, she really out did herself. She was able to take several little pieces of our dads things and create two arrangements that we were so proud to display at his memorial. We have been enjoying them for the past week as well at home. We Highly recommend putting your trust in Tina and she will surpass any of your expectations with your floral needs.

I recently got married in Okoboji, and hired Elements Design Studio to help with our event…read more I don't live in the area, and had to plan virtually everything via phone/email. Tina made this process incredibly easy! Elements provided all of the floral for our event, and Tina also assisted with day-of planning. She got to our venue early to make sure it was clean and ready for the day, set up all of our tables, chairs, ceremony site, floral, etc. and communicated with our other vendors to ensure everything was there on time and ready to go. My main takeaways from working with Elements are: 1) The floral was gorgeous. Truly stunning. 2) Tina captured our vision 100%. I had given her some pinterest photos that I liked, etc, and she created a look/feel that was truly authentic to who we are, and made our venue come to life. 3) It was easy! People talk about running around like crazy on their wedding day...but I had time to head over to Arnold's Perk and have a cup of coffee. And go for a swim in the lake. And play with my nephew. We literally showed up and everything was done...and perfect! 4) The price was beyond reasonable. You get great value when you work with Elements! I highly recommend Tina/Elements for all of your wedding day needs!
