Patricia and Deanna are very personable and were extremely attentive to our needs. They do a great job of responding via email, text or phone call. They have an abundance of referrals and vendor resources at their disposal. We trusted their eye for aesthetics and they delivered by optimizing our venue space. During the actual wedding, they were very professional and directive ensuring that the itinerary was right on schedule. When an issue arose during the wedding, these ladies took care of business, allowing my wife and I to enjoy the festivities. Art of Joy is the bomb!!!

Upon deciding that I needed a wedding planner, she was the first on my list to meet with. We hit it off once again and after starting off the wedding planning process with a lot of stress, I became excited again to plan with her help.

It was so nice to have someone keeping me organized in the time of Pinterest and Wedding blogs. On the day of, Patricia and her assistant rocked it! I know of nothing that may or may not have gone right. She handled a "wedding crasher" with professionalism and once again... kept us on schedule. I couldn't have pulled this off without her! Thank you Patricia!!!

My wife and I were referred to Jennifer by our wedding planner Amy from First Comes Love. We worked…read morewith Jennifer for just over a year leading up to our wedding. We met with Jennifer on several occasions at her studio up in Carlsbad. She was extremely helpful with giving us ideas to help create our vision. She worked closely with my wife's Pinterest page to not only see the direction we wanted to go but point out other possibilities. Jennifer designed centerpieces for our welcome reception, ceremony florals, cocktail hour centerpieces, and reception florals. We received an overwhelmingly large amount of compliments related to all of Jennifer's hard work! We cannot say enough about her and REALLY appreciate all of the work that she put into making our wedding SO beautiful!

From a beautiful arch over the doors to the chapel, to the bouquets, the table arrangements and the extraordinary sweetheart table and wishing well at the reception! Thank you for making the bride's vision a reality X 10! Working with the lighting from Brilliant Event Lighting on the florals after sunset was dreamy.

When an unexpected emergency came up and my father-in-law broke his shoe, she stepped in and helped without hesitation. The flowers were absolutely stunning! We received so many compliments on them during the wedding and even after when our photos were posted. Throughout the process, Kirsten took the time to understand our vision. She communicated well and was incredibly responsive. She revised our Look Book multiple times, based on my changing vision (her patience was much appreciated!), and was very careful to stay within our budget. Kirstin's personality, dedication, and passion really stood out among all the floral vendors that we met with. What she created on our wedding day truly exceeded our expectations!! Flowers were important to me and our bouquets, centerpieces, table, and ceremony flowers were all breathtaking. I loved my bouquet so much that I even flew it home with me because I couldn't bear to part with it! Kirsten is incredibly talented and creative, and you can truly see how much she cares about her work. We absolutely loved working with Kirstin and Darlin Floral Co. We are beyond grateful to her for making our wedding day so special!

She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life so beautifully. Every arrangement, from the bouquets to the ceremony arch and reception tables, was thoughtfully designed and full of life, color, and texture. We would recommend Darlin' Floral a thousand times over to any couple looking for a florist who genuinely cares and delivers incredible work.

Not all florists are created equal and Laura stands supreme!…read more I think what stands out about Laura is her ability to make a dream and vision come to life! We've all seen those horror photos of brides with photos of their floral inspiration versus what they actually got. But working with Laura, you get something even better than you could have ever imagined. With her attention to detail and eye for design, her work is incredible. Everything she created for us was even more beautiful and perfect than I had envisioned. As someone who is definitely no expert in flowers, I was worried about how to convey the things I liked and the things I didn't like when it came to our flowers. I appreciated that Laura took the time to ask just the right questions in a way that made participating in the design process accessible. She helped us nail down a cohesive color scheme and the perfect number of arrangements to complement our venue. Throughout the process, she was so easy to communicate with and was so quick to be responsive to any questions we had along the way. Her work truly speaks for itself. Scroll through her instagram page and you can see that she has such a gift! I also love that her work is so versatile. In our initial design phases, we weren't totally sure what we wanted, but through seeing the breadth of her work, we knew that whichever direction we went, we would be taken care of. In addition, I loved the beautiful collection of vases and candles that she has as well. She has a diverse inventory and we landed on pieces that fit our venue perfectly! We are SO SO grateful to have gotten to work with Laura. You can 110% percent trust that she will bring to life your vision. She was so kind and easy to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and dream floral vision come true!

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Laura of Bluebell Florals. Laura is extremely…read moreprofessional and the florals she created were super fresh and high quality. The centerpieces lasted over a week! The arch that she created for the ceremony was stunning. She provided us with great options/ideas in a zoom call several weeks before the event and emailed us a customized deck so we could visualize everything from ceremony to reception.

We're so thankful to have had Gabi and her team work with us!…read moreGabi was so helpful and took her time to answer any and all questions we had when it came to florals. We provided her with our theme, colors, and she took it to the next level! She gave me an idea of what the bouquets would look like and I had no worries at all because I trusted they would be amazing! The floral arrangements, the center pieces, the arch, everything was beautiful and beyond what I had ever imagined and dreamed of! I highly recommend Gabi and her team!!! Thank you Gabi!!!!!

Gabriela Pilar and her team were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our…read morewedding. They were very patient answering all our questions during the yearlong planning process. We had multiple meetings via zoom and in person leading up to our wedding day. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day amazing. Gabby and her team are so warm and efficient. It felt great being able to enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about any of the details. We absolutely recommend them without hesitation! Thank you!

Even if you have a great product (or so it seems from pictures), good customer service and…read moreprofessionalism are principles that will make your business successful. I had contacted Karen after seeing some photos of her work and this is what every bride-to-be does when you're planning a wedding, to see what fits in your budget and what doesn't. Well, Karen replied promptly the first few times until I told her my budget (over 10% of my wedding cost) and I guess that was too little for her because she stopped replying entirely. She's very unprofessional and I'm actually glad we're not working with her because if she can be unprofessional over minor things, imagine if something like this happens on your wedding day!

Karen had done my friends wedding about a year ago and did an amazing job…read more Fresh flowers are extremely important in a wedding--it is in all the photographs. I had a consultation with Karen a month ago and she was attentive in what I wanted. Flowers are important BUT with a 80-100k quote JUST for flowers, I'll have to think about it.

Where do I even begin... Monica is a master of her craft…read more She made the planning process so easy for me. She was always available to chat if I had questions and always sent me reminders so I never missed anything. We planned a 150 person wedding at home. NOTHING fell through the cracks. She found all of our vendors and made sure pricing and expectations were exactly what we wanted. It was the most beautiful wedding I'd ever been to. She took care of absolutely EVERYTHING. I would give her a 50 star rating if I could. She is the best of the best.

I was the best man in my friend's wedding over the weekend and let me tell you, I wish I could go…read moreback! It was so fantastic that my girlfriend said she wants to hire the same wedding planner... Create Events. Throughout the day the team was on point. Two of the ladies checked on us before photos began. They also got us on the limo bus to where the ceremony was being held and made sure the bridal party was very well taken care of. Meanwhile one of the coordinators stayed with the bride and groom to do their photos and make sure everything went according to plan. When we arrived at the Thursday Club (ceremony location) there were two coordinators taking care of all the setup. It looked amazing and when the bride walked into the ceremony site she actually cried and said, "Oh my God! It's so beautiful!" I know this was something she and the groom were worried about because at the rehearsal they mentioned that they wanted all the red draping covered in white. Both the bride and groom were so happy to see how it turned out! I really thought Monica and her team couldn't out do the ceremony but then we got to the reception and wow! BEST PARTY EVER! The reception area was really decked out! They had a sushi station (which I ate a lot of), an Italian station and a meat carving station. All the food was awesome, the setup of everything looked great and the timing was perfect. We did our entrance, had dinner and got the party started. The bride and groom were so happy with everything. I don't think I've ever heard so many people say, "What an amazing wedding!" "Best wedding ever!" etc. Honestly, when I get married I'm hiring this team. They could pull off anything you want and my wife is going to be stoked. A happy wife means a happy life.

I loved having Erica help me with my wedding! I had my wedding at the Park Hyatt Aviara in…read moreCarlsbad, but I live out of state. It felt a bit overwhelming planning the wedding so far away, but Erica was on top of the details from the very beginning. What I feel was key to pulling off a successful wedding was communication, and Erica always listened to what I wanted and needed. Additionally, what really helped amidst the chaos of wedding planning was that Erica was consistently calm and always came with a positive attitude. Half of my guests were coming from out of state, and while I was worried about things going smoothly for all of them, Erica ensured that everything and every detail was in place so that none of my worries ever came to fruition. What I really appreciated was that throughout the entire weekend of the wedding, Erica always made sure to check in on me to guarantee any concerns or needs I had were taken care of while still making sure everything we had discussed previously happened the way I wanted it to. Not to mention, she recommended a DJ that really kept the fun going at my weekend, everyone was dancing!! I cannot recommend Erica enough to anyone getting married! It is obvious that not only is she dedicated to her work and her priority is making sure her clients are happy, but that she genuinely cares that your wedding day goes the way you want it to! Thank you so much Erica, and if I were to do it all over again, I would want you by my side helping!
