I used them for my wedding and they were great, they arrived to the venue when I did to make sure everything was okay, they communicated well and they made me feel so at ease! Lauren could even be a one stop shop, my sister in law used her for her wedding and had Lauren not only plan her wedding but do her flowers, and bring in some extra decor. I loved having Lauren and Janet there the day of my wedding, NOTHING WENT WRONG AT MY WEDDING...NOTHING (at least that I knew of). Most people have something happen, but I was lucky to have Lauren and Janet there to cover everything! Great ladies, so easy to talk to and fairly priced!

Petals and greens has become my go to for flowers!!! I saw an arrangement in my doctors office and…read morewas super impressed with their work. The florals are contemporary, modern, romantic, and just beautiful every time. The way they use greenery too is so unique. Everything they do is super upscale yet the price tag is always extremely reasonable; they will work with any budget or project. In the past I've been quoted outrageous pricing to do events, but petals and greens will come through with what makes sense for my budget. I have used them for corporate gifts, my workplace decor, a bridal and baby shower I've thrown, and personal flowers for my home. They truly will custom cater to what you need. If you need a sweet taste of floral luxury at an amazing price try petals and greens, love them!

I'm so used to just picking out some random arrangement at a random market or flower shop. BUT, let me tell you...

You can tell she cares- it's refreshing and so appreciated. I will without hesitation order again & again for my every occasion! The colors were vibrant & beautiful. Nothing like I've ever ordered or picked up for such a great price.

Jessika found out about this giveaway once it was closing and offered her coordinating services FREE of cost ! How Freakn amazing is that !!!! With so many vendors involved and just in general a wedding itself takes a lot , I cannot imagine my big day without her help . She was there every step of the way and I was probably overbearing with texts and questions lol but she never failed to respond. She made sure my vision came to life from helping with invitation picking , to our groomsmen tie color, to every little detail you can think of. As well her assistant Sarena was amazing . I would say a wedding coordinator shouldn't even be up for discussion it is absolutely necessary . I'll miss our daily interactions . Thank you for your kind heart and all that you did for us !

Jessika is truly a JOY!…read more I hired her for month/day of coordination for my wedding and it was hands down the best decision I could've made.

Thank you for making my vision come true!

Short answer: Hire Amy and her team…read more Long answer: I have so many positive things to say about Amy and her team! Seriously just hire them When doing our initial wedding planner search, we were trying to find the team that best understood our vision, budget, and meshed with us the best. When we told Amy about our vision to have a baseball themed wedding, with a separate opening day ceremony the evening before, her response was, "hell yea!" and then she proceeded to tell us about her family's love of baseball and additional rental items her team could provide to help us achieve this vision. Her prices were significantly more affordable than other local planners we interviewed. It was important to us that we make our event kid-friendly, and she had lots of tips, tricks, and solutions on how we could do that without breaking the bank. Amy and her team helped us search for venues, play around with decoration themes, booked dress appointments for us, shared vendor contacts, built the cross and arch displayed at the ceremony, and coordinated with everyone who would be a part of our wedding so we had less of that burden. I wouldn't say that my now husband and I were the "bridezilla-couple-from-hell" type but boy did we take forever to respond to a message and only to then reply back with 50 more questions. Amy and her team rolled with us and learned how to keep us on track with deadlines. If we had listened earlier in the process, we could have saved some time in booking our dream venue and florists - seriously, our venue was everything we wanted it to be, and our florist was the kindest woman alive - both of these came from Amy's preferred vendor list. Love Like Crazy's biggest strength is their ability to pull you into their family and give you the local's only treatment. As a SoCal native, working with her felt like I was talking to my cousins or my school best friend - the only thing missing was tacos and beers (though champagne did arrive a couple times at meetings :P ). My husband and I are both middle children and often have a hard time having the attention all on us. In those moments when we were flustered, Amy was our biggest advocate. During our events, she was hustling and kicking butt making magic happen, yet she never broke a sweat. She was poised, organized, graceful, and friendly with all our guests, and helped us stay 100% engaged in the magic of our wedding weekend. Everything was beautiful, and so many people complimented us on how flawless it all went. Literal direct quotes: "You outdid yourself!" "One of the best weddings I have ever been to" "Congratulations!! It was seriously the best wedding I've ever been to. It had great flow, good tray pass, the location was beautiful, the decorations were perfect, the ceremony was concise, the kids stuff was perfect...I honestly can't think of anything I would have changed. All the details were great. You guys did well!!" Thank you again to everyone at Love Like Crazy! If there's another big family party in the future, we will definitely give a holla!

Melissa was the BEST Wedding Planner we could have ever imagined for our BIG FAT INDIAN-JEWISH…read morewedding day! I contacted Melissa after seeing Honey Bear Events on a website of vendor recommendations, but I had no idea that I would be meeting my literal dream wedding planner. Melissa came into my wedding planning process after we had another planner quit on us. While it was easy to initially feel embarrassed, Melissa made me realize this wasn't about us at all and the previous planner had her own issues that we could do nothing about. It was a blessing in disguise as I transformed from stressed about planning to EXCITED to be wedding planning with Melissa as my planner!!! She immediately made me feel comfortable and that I could trust her with all the tiny little details floating around my brain. When Melissa and I started working together, I was living in Boston planning my wedding that would take place in Santa Barbara the next summer. Melissa was so accommodating with my schedule and when we would talk on the phone I knew I could talk to her for hours in one go and feel so incredibly relieved after. I did the Full-Service planning package with her and she was so amazing at providing suggestions for vendors, setting up calls with them for me, and getting their pricing together, so that I could have a productive call with them. She would also prepare PowerPoint slides of my design vision that she would share with them on the call, so we could make sure they were on the same page about what I wanted my dream wedding to look like. One vendor in particular that Melissa found for me and was absolutely amazing was Pratto Paper Company. Lauren Pratto was an absolute pleasure to work with when designing my wedding invitations, day-of-stationary, and signage for the wedding day! Melissa went way above and beyond to create my vision of a mirror seating chart by working with Lauren and another vendor to build 3 giant mirrors that could stand on their own and then had Lauren apply the names in vinyl to the mirrors. I was BLOWN AWAY with how much Melissa CARED about my wedding and it really felt like she was just as invested in making my dream come true. Something I was looking for in a planner was someone who would communicate with family members that were helping with some of the wedding events/finances/etc. Melissa made me feel so at ease and handled these conversations like a breeze throughout the wedding planning process. She worked with my mother-in-law to plan a BEAUTIFUL rehearsal dinner with the most GORGEOUS FLORALS from Honey Bear Events. She worked with us to ensure all our deadlines were met and leading up to the last 2 weeks before the wedding, I didn't feel stressed at all like I imagined I would. Everything was taken care of and if it hadn't been, I knew Melissa had a handle on it. As we approached the wedding day, I loved that Melissa was my SUPERWOMAN. She immediately went to bat with the hotel when they tried to put me in a different bridal suite than what was initially discussed. She never showed me any stress she was under and made sure Kevin and I were having the BEST TIME! Everything flowed so well from the moment we stepped into the hotel on Friday. On Saturday morning (Wedding Day), Melissa had her assistant bring us bagels and ordered us coffee and juice to our bridal suite. She had already set-up a group text with my maids-of-honor to communicate with them the day of, and she was fully on top of all the vendors arriving for a 5-6am set-up time! Throughout the day she would come check-in on me, make sure I was eating, and again never made me feel like there was anything going wrong outside (a week later I would find out the hotel was a mess to work with). She and I are VERY DETAILED people and I can tell you that there was not a single detail forgotten that day. Melissa was there all the way until the last vendor left and we caught her when we were coming back from our afterparty. I wanted to give her the biggest hug and cry! She was the angel in my head that created the most STUNNING wedding I could have ever imagined. I am so sad I didn't get the photographer to take a picture of Melissa and I, so please make sure you do!!! You will never want to forget how Melissa and Honey Bear Events made you feel during your whole wedding planning journey!! I could go on forever with everything she did for us, but she is literal family now and I cannot wait to find the next big event for Melissa to help plan with me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MELISSA and HONEY BEAR EVENTS!! You were the BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER!
