    I loved my flowers!
    Ruthie S.

    I completely, totally adore Sonya and Steve. We used Sonya for our floral through our venues package (and then added some extras) and used Steve for our officiant. Floral: The flowers were exactly what I had envisioned. I was really bad at communicating my vision to Sonya but with the help of some pictures I brought along she figured out exactly what I was looking for. I know nothing about flowers or decorating so Sonya was my lifeline there. She constantly mentioned that she was keeping costs down even though I was pushing to spend more, spend more! She made a few flower change suggestions to keep down materials cost and recommended using some of the ceremony flowers to decorate our sweetheart table. In the end I was thrilled with my small bill and my awesome flowers. Sonya is extremely creative and it shows from the first meeting to the end product. Please note - our centerpieces and gazebo decorations were included in the cost of the venue package... we added on our bouquets, bouts, aisle hooks, extra arrangements, etc Officiant: Our original lower cost officiant reinforced the old saying, "You get what you pay for". We had to find a less flakey, more coherent officiant a few weeks before the wedding... so we booked Steve. He was great! I only spoke to him over the phone and email while setting up our ceremony details but he had all the details down. During our ceremony I put a little joke in there to get the guests laughing a bit and he delivered it perfectly! Overall, Steve was kind, well spoken, and professional. He even came to say bye after the ceremony was over. I felt bad because we forgot to invite him and his wife to the reception (etiquette and I like them). My only complaint is response time. Emails and calls sometimes get slow responses but it's worth it 100% and you can depend on them to call/email you back and then deliver in the end. I would (and will) recommend Sweet Pea Wedding Services to anyone looking for a great florist and/or officiant.

    Reverend Beck was a wonderful officiant! I had to plan everything remotely and both reverend Beck and his wife made the process very easy...he even agreed to a face time interview. He is very well spoken and many people asked me where I found him (Yelp and my secret :)). I couldn't have been happier with our ceremony and I would definitely recommend!

    Sonya of SweetPea Floral was our florist for our wedding on 8/15/10 at Eagle Ridge in Gilroy CA. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would! Sonya understood my ideas and what I was going for and she made become reality. I was speechless when I saw my flowers, they were BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Sonya for being a part of our special day!

    Sonya did a beautiful job on our wedding flowers. She was the florist that was included in our wedding package with Wedgewood Weddings at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. She did our bouquets, boutonnieres, table flowers, gazebo flowers and cake flowers. She truly made my dream bouquet and wedding flowers come true. Sonya was very friendly to work with and also gave us a lot of great wedding planning tips as well. She was also very responsive over email and worked with us to get the vases/pots we wanted to use. I highly recommend Sweet Pea Floral.

    Our wedding with Steve Beck

    Steve officiated my wedding on October 18th 2014 He was kind and sweet and has a great voice too! I am very grateful that he was available to officiate my wedding. My husband and I met with him for the planning process he was warm and friendly and spend time getting to know us as a couple and as individuals over the span of two separate meetings. We love the process with Steve he provided copies of Prior ceremonies and encourage us to reflect on what we liked and disliked before crafting a ceremony for us based on our feedback. On the day of the wedding Steve was Flawless he was calm ,warm, and delivered a ceremony that was deeply meaningful and beautifully conducted.

    Sonya and Steve did our wedding in July 2010. Steve provided a customized wedding service that was so wonderful, our family and friends still talk about how great our minister was. Sonya provided us with the beautiful flowers, she made my vision come to life. They are both really easy to work with, they listen to you and also give some great suggests. They were both integral pieces in making our wedding as wonderful as it was. Thank you to both of them-highly recommended! :)

    Rev beck officiated our wedding this last Friday. He was amazing, he helped calm our wedding day nerves and made everything go so smooth. He did a sand ceremony for us which neither of us had heard of but was awesome and ment so much to us and our family. As well as a candle & moment of silence for all that couldn't be there. He made our wedding day that much more personable and we absolutely couldn't imagine the day with out it!! Thanks again Steve !!

That said, we are sad to be writing only a 3 star review based on our experience. HIGLIGHTS: 1) He was very quick to communicate and always friendly and personable on the phone 2) He was flexible with us changing our date due to the pandemic 3) He was very determined to say my husband's non American name correctly and he did! Thank you so much for that, Reverend Rich! DISAPPOINTMENTS: 1) Wedding day speaking was a lot more monotone and less energetic than what we had hoped for 2) The vows he read at our ceremony were NOT the same as the ones we confirmed in the "final vows" email. 2a) My husband and I both checked this before I sat down to write this review. At best, this was a lack of organization that left us surprised at the altar. Specifically, we removed "for the first time" when Reverend Rich would introduce us as "Mr. and Mrs." We had explained to Reverend Rich that because of covid, we had already been legally married for a year and I had been going by my new last name since then. So, it was not "for the first time" that I was "Mrs.". Some of our less close guests were left confused, and my husband and I had to hide our frustration at the end of the ceremony. Reverend Rich was also aware that we did not need to be legally wed (since again, we had already been legally married for a year at that point), as we discussed not having a marriage license for him to sign. 2b) He also had added "let's do that again" after my husband and I kissed. It wasn't clear if we were supposed to kiss again (which we did), or if the audience didn't clap loud enough to his opinion. The possibility of the latter left us somewhat embarrassed. TLDR; nice guy, but the word doc called "final vows" that we got was not in fact the same doc that he read at our ceremony

That said, Rich has gone aboive and beyond in reaching out to his network and referring me to his other officients which are friends of his. He is a wonderful man who is well connected and is always willing to help in however he can. Thank you Rich!

As our officiant, Minister Hayne created a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and beautifully tailored to our story. Her warm, calming presence made the entire experience feel meaningful, genuine, and filled with joy. Many of our guests commented on how touching and well‑delivered the ceremony was. As our photographer, she was just as incredible. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured every important moment with creativity and care. The photos turned out absolutely stunning--full of emotion, detail, and authenticity. We now have a gorgeous collection of memories that we'll cherish forever. Handling both roles seamlessly is no small task, but Minister Hayne did it with grace, professionalism, and passion. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide our ceremony and preserve our most special moments. We highly, highly recommend Minister Hayne to any couple looking for an exceptional officiant, photographer, or--if you're lucky enough--both.

Donna was amazing and took care of all the arrangements with Rebecca, so we didn't have to worry about coordinating, it was all handled for us. She checked out various sites until she found the perfect one that was exactly what we had wanted. She made sure we knew the process of getting a license ahead of time, organized the timing of arrival, ceremony, etc. She even dealt with rescheduling us twice due to rain, always with a smile and reassurance for us. Donna also provided many pre-written ceremonies and vows for us to choose from and let us modify them to make them our own. She even made gorgeous little vow booklets with our vows, for us to keep as mementos. Rebecca took stunning photographs, before, during, and after the ceremony. She made sure to get many different poses, candid and staged, and included the ocean view and cliffs that we had requested. We ended up with around 150 high quality photos, and she provided them in a gallery we could share with people, and also downloadable in hi-res for printing and sharing online. Donna and Rebecca helped us achieve exactly the wedding we had hoped for, and left us with keepsakes and photos to look back on forever; I highly recommend them!

She laid out the process very clearly, and her rates are reasonable, too. She provided an opportunity for us to customize our ceremony and pick passages and readings that were meaningful to us. She helped us have a ceremony that was in line with our personalities and beliefs. We felt strongly about having a secular ceremony, and Donna honored and assembled a thoughtful ceremony reading based on our input. Before the wedding, Donna made time to have a rehearsal with out, which was really helpful. On the wedding day, she showed up on-time and worked with our witnesses to get our license signed. She delivered the ceremony beautifully, and we received several compliments on it. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend Donna.
