I REGRET working with Chad Michael Peters!!! On the day of my wedding he did NOT deliver!! He completely changed the designs for my centerpieces and DOWN SCALED THEM!!! We were supposed to have had a chuppah and the week of the wedding I confirmed it with him. On the day of the wedding, there was no chuppah! Our centerpieces looked NOTHING like the demo. He completely changed them and downscaled them. If I paid you for a $500 centerpiece, and you show me exactly what it will look like, why on my wedding day you deliver me a cheap arrangement of flowers that looks nothing like what you showed me??? THERE WE SOME ITEMS THAT WE PAID FOR THAT HE DID NOT EVEN GIVE US. We paid around $800 for a special arrangement and he did not even do it!!! When I ask him for my money back, he says that he used it to cover the cost of getting the flowers!!!! How ridiculous is that!! That should have already been included in the price. He also said that at the end of it all, he took some of my money to make up for the TWO meetings we had and all the phone calls and emails.. Again, RIDICULOUS!!! He told me meetings were FREE and then all of a sudden, ON MY WEDDING DAY you do not give me items that I paid for and say you are keeping the money to cover meetings that you told me were FREEE??? He CHEATED US OUT OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!!

Couples, you are much better off going elsewhere! He has had a lot of trouble with other couples in the past and he even told me this at a meeting. Now I understand why. He wasn't very organized either. We would come up with an idea and he would completely forget about it an lose the sketch, so we had to start all over again. At that point I started to have doubts about him.

STAY AWAY!!!!

Chad has a dynamic personality and was a very fun and helpful addition to our wedding day. He went out of his way to put us at ease by personally handling many details allowing us to enjoy our day. He has a wonderful eye for detail in both his flower arrangements and his photography. His keen eye and ability to incorporate the bride and groom into the surrounding environment made for amazing photographs. We were very fortunate to have selected his services. Thank you Chad!!

Chad and his team did a great job on the flowers for our wedding. I had asked for thistle in my bouquet and it looked amazing. I loved the subtle touch the blue hue gave to the pale white flowers. It was incredibly unique and stunning. The bridesmaids bouquets were bright and pretty and I loved the way they matched the decor of the wedding. Chad was fun to work with and his staff was great too!

Where do I begin? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chad and his amazing team! I had a destination wedding and Chad was 3,000 miles from where I live. Any bride out there who is planning a destination wedding knows the additional stress that you encounter in the planning process :)

Chad's extensive work which is absolutely beautiful speaks for itself and from day 1 I felt comfortable with him handling the flower and decor aspect of my wedding. Chad also coordinated the wedding on the day of and made everything ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I still can't even get over how amazing everything looked. He and his team are very detail oriented and truly care about making their clients happy. I could not recommend someone more!!!!

I have been following Chad's work for years. I was well aware of the unique, dazzling, and (in the truest sense of the word) fantastical work Chad has done. But the experience of having him do the flowers, decore, print materials, and generally advise me through my own wedding was almost indescribable. From our first conversation to the actual day of the wedding, I felt wowed every step of the way. I can't emphasize enough how much he and his team listened to us and strove to understand our idea about what would make the day special and perfect to us.

Truly, no matter what type of location you select for your ceremony and reception, Chad will transform or enhance it to create your perfect vision. He created a theme for us and carried it through from the save the dates, to the invitations, to the bouquets and boutonnieres, to the centerpieces, to the escort cards, to the flowers on the cake, down to the most exquisite programs I have ever seen. And I KNEW it would be that way because of the myriad events I've seen him do, but you will feel the same way when you see Chad's blog of countless weddings that he's done. You gain a genuine trust for him and so you know that the final product will be outstanding. That level of trust is critical as you get closer to your big day and things get stressful. When we were just a few days away, I'll never forget how he did more than just listen patiently to my questions and double-checking even though he's done this a million times...he ended one of our last talks before I got to see him in person by saying, "You know we're going to knock this out of the ball park, right." That's how he made me feel and that's just what he did. I'll be saying thank you to him for years to come.

For my daughter’s wedding, Chad Michael Peters designed and coordinated all the print materials, designed and created all floral decor, acted as a consultant and day-of planner, and took some incredibly amazing photographs. (See Shades of Berry on Chad’s blog.)

Having worked in advertising agencies or with agencies for the past 30 years, I’ve become sufficiently jaded to not be easily impressed by creative work. In this case, however, I was absolutely blown away. From the grand scheme of the design work to the meticulous attention to detail, everything far exceeded expectations. The original art on the save-the-date began to actually mirror the location of the wedding and colors chosen, the invitation carried the theme and design further, and the postage was a custom-designed stamp. Absolutely awesome!

And the flowers were too incredible to be believed. In a location as magnificent as the gardens at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley you would never imagine that it could be any more perfect. But Chad’s ceremony decor, bridal bouquets and boutonnières, and table arrangements did make it more perfect. I say this not just as a proud father; I heard endless compliments on Chad’s flowers. They were truly extraordinary.

In terms of perfect performance, when you need to pull off an event like this, Chad is someone you want in your corner. Beyond the phenomenal services he provided, his expert guidance and advice helped smooth everything. My wife and I are happy we don’t have to do this again, but if I had to put a team together, Chad would be call #1.

Chad is a wonderful artist and was a complete pleasure to work with. Not only was he very personable and accessible but really listened to my thoughts and ideas. Flowers are not something I know a lot about so I trusted him with a lot of the decision making which can be risky but not with Chad, he is a pro! What I loved most about my experience with CMP is that this is his true passion and he devotes a great deal of pride in his work. The day of my wedding the centerpieces complimented the venue and made the room "pop". Chad truly went above and beyond and my guests are still talking about what a beautiful job he did!

Chad provides a dynamic service to any wedding. He helped coordinate the day of and did our flowers and decor. His flowers were so beautiful and unique and he took all of the decorations for the wedding I gave him and brought them to life for me. He is really great at tapping into your individual style and creating a look that is just for you.

Chad was our wedding planner, and it was a nightmare. Although I told him in great detail what we wanted for our wedding, I wasn't told until the day before my wedding that many of things I had requested had not been done. He and his office seemed like they didn't know anything about wedding planning, it took multiple phone calls from me to get anything done. Read the good reviews carefully, most of them are for Chad as florist, NOT as wedding planner. To add insult to injury, he showed up at my reception and acted as though it was his day, not mine.

I want all you engaged women/men out there to stop and really read this review.

I know how important personal reviews of vendors can be when you are searching to find one for your wedding. I just spent a year planning my wedding and I will be 100% honest with you.

I just got married on August 28th at the Boston Harbor Hotel Pavilion. The reception was at the Renaissance Waterfront Marriott in South Boston.

My wedding day started in the presidential suite at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel with my bridesmaids all around. Champagne was flowing as makeup was being applied and hair was getting done. I heard a knock on the door and it was Chad with my flowers! I had asked for my bouquet to be romantic, medium in size and all white and green. I trusted Chad and knew he would surprise me with something beautiful. I never expected to fall in love with my bouquet, which is exactly what I did. I think I went to bed with it that night..hahaha. It was filled with white roses and gardenias that you could smell from a mile away. I can tell you that once I put my dress on and held those flowers, I felt like a princess, which is what every bride hopes for. The Bridesmaid’s bouquets were just as stunning.

My biggest fear was that I would get to the ceremony and the reception and not like the flowers. When I hired Chad that fear went away, but of course I was still a little worried until I walked down the aisle. There were candles and large vases with white and green flowers…PERFECT! It was just what I had asked for, but better. The real test was the reception. The doors opened and the band announced “Mr. & Mrs. Wynne” as I made my way to the dance floor I couldn’t believe how amazing the room looked. The centerpieces had everything we talked about and more. Chad listened to me and executed perfectly adding his own special touches. He went above and beyond to with special lighting on the tables, turquoise linen napkins to match my theme and even put fresh flowers on my wedding cake to give it a extra wow factor.

Chad had a blog up the very next day with photos of my wedding and special details of the day. I was able to see it from my phone on my way to Mexico!! You can see all of his beautiful work on his Style blog at www.cmpstyleblog.com. My wedding blog is on there under “Stephen and Whitney Wynne”.

Chad prides himself on making sure all the details are perfect for your special day and that’s why my day was perfect!

Good Luck!

We hired Chad Michael Peters to do the decor of our wedding. He did ALL the flowers, all the decorative details for the country club, our save the dates and our wedding invitations. We wanted the "wow" factor and he gave us just that. Chad has beautiful taste and truly has a talent when it comes to wedding decor. The linens he chose were breathtaking. Everyone was is awe! If you want a gorgeous wedding, but don't know where to begin, call CMP, he has wonderful ideas!

The flowers for my wedding were pretty, but the process of planning with him was difficult. It was nearly impossible to keep in touch with him for days at a time. He didn't really care about my budget and we ended up with a bill much higher bill than we told him we could afford.

Besides being easy to work with, he created absolutely gorgeous flowers for both the wedding ceremony and reception. Guests still talking about how beautiful it all looked!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Chad Michael Peters as our florist, designer, and day-of-coordinator for our wedding at Chatham Bars Inn in October 2009. From the minute I met Chad I knew I wanted him to do my wedding. He is an extremely talented florist and designer and definitely knows how to wow his brides. Chad worked closely with us to make our wedding day a special one and even drew a beautiful sketch of what we were envisioning when it came to flowers and decor. Whenever I asked him to do something he would do it immediately and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I, and even my family, were happy. He stuck to our budget, getting us everything we wanted, and made our wedding day truly beautiful. The flowers on our wedding day were absolutely breathtaking. He even made a sash made out of fresh flowers for the flower girl and a ring bearer pillow made out of fresh flowers. Everything looked beautiful. The reason I rated him a 4.5 instead of a 5 in some areas is because there were a couple of moments during the wedding day I wasn't able to get in contact with Chad. To his credit, one of those moments was after the ceremony, which he had turned his phone off for and had forgot to turn it back on. An honest mistake but it still happened. If I was just rating him on flowers and design, he would receive a 5++ in all areas. All in all, I am extremely happy with the services I received from Chad and his team and would highly recommend them to anyone. I know the best for Chad Michael Peters is still to come.

I had a wonderful time working with Chad on my wedding. His flower designs were fabulous, more wonderful than anything I had dreamed of for my wedding. He listened very closely during meetings and developed a great sense of my individual style. He also worked with the design and logistics of the whole day including linens for the tables, rentals, and decoration of the cake. I would strongly recommend Chad to any bride looking for a wedding that will be filled with beautiful color and be uniquely their own!
