Alyssa did amazing work for our wedding in Yucca Valley. I initially selected her because I liked…read moreher previous work on a floral arch, but she nailed it on everything else too! The bud vases were so sweet and romantic but also affordable. My sister commented they looked vintage chic. I would definitely recommend bud vases instead of traditional floral centerpieces if you aren't looking to spend all of your budget on florals. Alyssa can really make them look beautiful. If you are looking for high quality florals at an accessible price point in the high desert, work with Desert Rose Creative!

Alyssa is nice and if you need flowers, by all means hire her. But if looking for a full or day-of…read morewedding/party planner, please stay away. I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.

Unfortunately the arrangement with a live Peace Lilly was not available. I called and left a message. Carmen Called me right back.

She even texted me a photo of the finished arrangement and called when no one was home and had to leave it on the porch. I couldn't have been happier!!!! I recommend that people go to Adele's FIRST!

But she wasn't trying to up-sell us - She was just enthusiastic about the rocks and crystals and we agreed that what she showed us was amazing. For example, we got the kryptonite. It glows so well. We held off on the muldavite, but one day that will become a reality. I won't elaborate on the reasons for the secret rocks or the secret meetings that I hold. But I will tell you that you might end up seeing me here a lot. Thank you

They made the entire process comfortable, seamless, fun and very memorable. The ceremony was incredibly meaningful to us. Charlotte conducted the ceremony with so much love and good energy.

We also unexpectedly received a beautiful and sentimental gift after the ceremony. We feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have found an amazing person to marry us and be a part of our journey/story.

Charlotte delivered and exceeded every expectation. We chose the Earth Based Crystal Ceremony, and her commitment to customizing every single detail, from incorporating our unique love story and faith journey, to honoring our parents and seamlessly blending our children made the entire ceremony feel incredibly deep and personal. She took time and care to get the tone exactly right, ensuring it was sincere, tear-jerking, and perfectly focused on our spiritual foundation. She handled all the filing quickly and was a calming, professional presence on the day. If you are looking for an officiant who is organized, compassionate, and can create a truly custom, unforgettable ceremony that speaks directly to your heart, look no further than Charlotte! Highly, highly recommend!

We did our wedding at a VRBO and planned everything ourselves, so it was really important to us to have some great staff to make sure the day ran smoothly. Jessica was super easy to work with and was full of amazing ideas to make our event perfect. She gave a fantastic recommendation for food for our welcome dinner (shout out to Tacos Los Chubby's), and helped plan our dessert and late night snack options which the guests RAVED about! Jessica worked within our budget to find the most cost effective way to spread staff out over our events to achieve the most support which was greatly appreciated. The staff - Julieta, Dillon, Aramis, and Hilario, were by far one of the biggest highlights of our wedding! They were the most hardworking, kind, and helpful people, and we truly could not have done the events without them. Our wedding day had a huge amount of wind and they all were extremely calm and willing to pivot to move all wedding tables into a different space very quickly. We heard about a few things later on that happened that they all handled without telling us too which was great. When we woke up in the morning, we were so surprised to see everything cleaned up and packed up for the rental company pick up the next day which was the most wonderful surprise! Julieta and Dillon worked at both our welcome party and wedding, and I think every single guest at some point or another came up to us to compliment them! They finished the tasks we gave them very quickly, then found new tasks to do all day and night long. They consistently did things without being asked, and still made time to be personable with us and the guests. Truly could not have asked for a better team at both events! We would recommend this company a thousand times over! Thank you Jessica, Julieta, Dillon, Aramis, and Hilario for all your kindness, hard work, and support! Our wedding would not have been possible without you! The Pahl's
