We originally were planning on DIY'ing a few of the florals but after speaking with her, we knew our work would never measure up and the stress just wouldn't be worth it! Something I really respected about Carla is that I had several items I wanted to add but she told me how we could repurpose some of the existing arrangements to not only save money, but make sure we didn't waste flowers. It ended up working perfectly and I was so appreciative that she went the extra mile for us. When I walked into the venue the day of, I was blown away. The setup was just perfect and exactly what she had promised and more. We had so many compliments on our flowers! I've included a few non-professional pictures but they really don't do it justice.

I have been with Dana since the beginning. When I was a wedding photographer just starting out, I…read moresaw a picture of a gorgeous bouquet tagged in someone's wedding album. I asked around, and met Dana over the phone. Ever since then, we'd developed a close friendship and I've watched her talent and business grow over the years. So it was without question that I hired her for my second wedding party in June 2014 for my wedding at Boston's Pequitside Farm. I loved the process of planning with Dana. She itemized every item very clearly on an Excel, and had this program where she could illustrate how a bouquet or centerpiece would look like. It was like watching her creative process unfold right before my eyes. I told Dana my vision for a modern and elegant black and white wedding. She gave me the most dreamiest bouquet filled with all of my favorite flowers - blush peonies, cymbidium orchids, cala lillies, and much, much more. If only I could freeze the bouquet forever! Everything was so much more beautiful than I could ever have imagined, the centerpieces were the talk of town!!!!! All the girls at the wedding swooned over the flowers and I gave each centerpiece to a close girlfriend who lives in Boston so that they can enjoy in the future. Do not hesitate to hire Dana as your florist. I vouch for her creative talent and vision completely.

OH. MY. GOD. Is there a way I can give 5 MILLION STARS?…read more Aileen was a freaking god send for our wedding this past Saturday, 11/5/2016 at The Colony House (in Anaheim). We reserved her for her DOC services (no design, unfortunately) and she was worth every penny! She was fully composed during the entire event and took care of everything we had asked for PLUS more! Did I mention, that her prices are SO REASONABLE? She is just SO easy going and it was such a pleasure working with her. Even though we had our wedding down in SoCal, my husband and I currently reside in San Francisco. Aileen worked with us and our schedule to see what she could do to help us out. She ran the rehearsal, which we held on a Thursday, without any problem! I was honestly very impressed with her demeanor with trying to corral our family members/friends during the rehearsal and throughout our wedding. For the wedding, she was able to set up all the small decor and things for the gift/placecard/cake/bar tables. She actually set all the non-florist decor (which was a lot of knick knacks!) She went above and beyond to make our wedding a dream come true. During our last meeting, she even volunteered to come a little earlier & leave later from our event... WITHOUT charge. She just wanted to make sure that everything went smoothly and made this a priority above all else. Also, my husband and I were scrambling last minute to figure out how we were going to take down the floral decorations surrounding our stage/alter & some wooden beams located throughout the venue. The florist was going to charge us for coming back so we decided to ask if Aileen could do it. And she was so accommodating! She saved us a lot of money from asking the florist to come back and honestly she was just so on top of everything throughout the wedding. She really was a calming element during our final days before the wedding. During our cocktail hour, the ceremony area was going to be flipped into the reception. I had already told my bridal party to help Aileen with the flip (i.e. small vases were placed on the floor, which would eventually need to be placed on the dinner tables). And when the time came, Aileen told my bridal party to just relax and enjoy themselves because she was going to take care of everything. During the event, my MIL told Aileen that several of the guests sitting at a certain table had to be moved because there was some massive family drama. Go figure, right? We had assigned seating at each table & I don't know how Aileen pulled it off, but I believe that family drama did not come to light during our wedding. On top of everything we had asked her to do, she worked her magic and addressed issues that were brought to her attention during the event! So by the end of the wedding, Aileen had packaged everything up for my in-laws and they said it was so easy! She had packaged everything so efficiently and really made sure that our family members didn't have to do any additional work. Overall, Aileen made our wedding go by without a hitch and we could not have imagined anyone else being part of our big day. If we were to change ANYTHING it honestly would have been to invest further for her design services. It honestly would have saved me so much headache and I know for a fact she would have gone above and beyond. So if you are looking for design/DOC services, LOOK NO FURTHER! Aileen is your girl! THANKS AILEEN! Ben & Heather #bentherpartyof2

Courtney has an incredible gift. She does stellar work. Our wedding day was perfect. While we're…read moresure there were snafus at the reception (there always are), we knew absolutely nothing about them. Courtney and her team handled everything expertly. In the lead-up to the big day, Courtney asked all the right questions and helped us to think through exactly what we wanted for our reception. And then she made it happen. Every time we look at our wedding photos, we recognize Courtney's presence and hard work. She made my lofty Pinterest dreams come true. The table settings were crisp and sweet; the lights hung perfectly; the flowers were beautifully placed on the tables and around the venue and on top of the cakes; the name cards aligned in friendly columns and rows. And we were all smiling. There was no stress, nothing to worry about. On the big day, Courtney and her team did all the hard work. If we were to do it all over again, we would once again choose The Joy Parade for our team.

I have been a part of so many friends weddings, and talked to so many of my friends who have looked back on their wedding and said oh, "I wish I noticed (fill in the blank) wasn't how I wanted it, or I was so stressed out I didn't enjoy my day, we forgot to take this picture" etc. I can't say that about my wedding, my wedding was flawless. Courtney is meticulous. She made sure that my day was absolutely perfect. There is not one thing that did not go according to plan and the reason being Courtney is on point. She made sure that things went smoothly, that all the events I wanted to experience where experienced, it was amazing. During the month before the wedding Courtney was my right and left hand. I never had to worry. She made sure that all my vendors were coordinate with one another that the timelines were all in sink and when it was time to prove herself she went beyond. I cannot give her a higher recommendation. She's the best, simply simply the best!
