Denise was able to execute my vision for a vintage wedding with every detail with complete ease. The flowers she created for the bridesmaids, flower girls and ceremony/wedding were absolutely amazing. In addition, her own added touches such as handmade logs for table numbers to the flowers laid out next to the programs were just some of the things she added to create a complete a sight to be seen!

Denise did a great job getting everything I needed despite the fact that all correspondence was done via email and IM. I now proudly wear my husband's name on my wedding band thanks to you :) Thank you Denise!

Denise did a great job for my wife and I! Even though we were not in country, she still got us the perfect dress and tux. They fit us perfectly and looked great to boot! She also picked the perfect rings for us; my lovely wife and I could not be more happier with the level of service that Denise provided! Thanks, Dee - Mike

Denise, You really helped us make our wedding day happen! Filling in gaps for us and making sure we didn't miss out on anything important. You were our guide. The flowers at the reception were beautiful. We were very pleased to have you as our wedding planner. You truly stepped up to the plate and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We can't thank you enough!

Much Love,

Israel & Katie Martinez

Denise provided excellent service! Initially, she answered all of my questions and really listened to my requests. Her website offered images that helped me trust in her artistic talent, and the decision to hire her for flowers was an easy one. Denise also served as my bridal assistant the day of our wedding. She arrived at our venue early, and arranged florals and details beautifully. When I arrived, I was thrilled! Many of our guests commented about how lovely everything looked! I recommend Barefoot To Black Tie Events without hesitation!

Barefoot to Black Tie Events helped in planning my wedding and provided all the flowers and decor. Not only did everything go smoothly through the planning process, the wedding day was stress free for me because everything was taken care of. All the flowers and decorations were beyond gorgeous and better than I had imagined. You will get the attention you want and the service you expect.

Denise helped me plan my Wedding and my Baby Shower. I was at the end of my pregnancy and definitely needed help getting everything situated. ESPECIALLY because I was doing both the SAME weekend! It sure was hectic! Denise took all the pressure off of my shoulders when it came to getting all the decorations, the flowers, setting everything up, and being there by my side through the entire thing. She did all the dirty work and she did an amazing job! She's friendly and patient, she makes sure everything is perfect. She puts SO much time and hard work into planning her events. My Baby Shower was set up perfectly! The favors were amazing, the flowers were fresh and pretty.. everything fell together perfectly. It was nice being able to walk in and have everything all set up. She makes sure that everything is set up just the way you want it and gives insight on different ideas to make sure you are dead set on your decision, which helps a ton! Everyone absolutely LOVED the favors she made (which took about 3+ days to make I believe). My wedding day was small, but she made it perfect. I wasn't going to have flowers or a big set up or anything but quickly changed my mind when Denise offered her help. I even forgot my hair tie at home the day of my Wedding and she even helped me out with that!! She puts in more work than she's paid for, she is truly amazing and very generous. She definitely cares a lot about her clients and I will definitely be sending all family and friends her way who need a Wedding or Baby Shower planned. :) I could never thank her enough!! My special weekend would have been a WRECK if it weren't for her!

Denise is not only a professional, but also makes you feel like you're the "only," bride that matters. My budget was strained, but you would have never known it by seeing the uniqueness and beauty of my flowers! I can't tell you how many compliments that received! Denise went above and beyond to make sure every detail was not just acceptable, but more than perfect! If you want that "special, dream come true wedding," Denise with Barefoot to Black Tie Events is your only choice! There's no need to look any further! Denise mixes class, romance, uniqueness, and warmth to make your wedding a day, you will cherish always!!!
