Miriam was always immediately available by phone, text, email, FaceTime. Anything! She handled any changes with grace and professionalism. Her work was amazing and our guests repeatedly mentioned how elegant the whole affair was. It was such a special moment on the day of the wedding when she presented the bride with her bouquet.
Every vendor on the island that will recognize and recommend the name DOBA!
Cannot recommend enough. Some photos can be seen on my IG: @remytherockstar, or if you are like us you will get real excited following @oldsanjuanweddings -

You read that title correctly. The only thing I was adamant about was that I did not want any flowers. Miriam was amazing in decorating given the vagueness of my request and the fact that this was the one hard no we had. My husband and I chose our venue given the natural beauty that engulfed the area and I wanted that to be embraced, not competed against. After that idea, we told Miriam to use her expertise and gave her creative freedom. Boy did she deliver! We loved it all. From the bouquets to table decorations, everything was perfection. She is AMAZING!! We could not have been happier. -

Miriam created our dream wedding. From the get go, Miriam was full of ideas and welcomed any and all feedback from my husband and I. I knew that Miriam was good- but HOLY MOLY did she blow us away the day of. I have never been to a more stunning wedding. Florals are my favorite part of any wedding and Miriam and her team made my jaw drop. There were so many different types of orchids and greenery, hanging displays around the cake which I adored. And to top it all off it was a complete surprise what it would look like. Miriam even hand delivered my bouquet to me, and let me tell you I didn't let that thing out of my site until the day we left Puerto Rico. Thank you thank you thank you Miriam. You made our wedding more than I ever dreamed it could be -

Miriam the dream weaver
Why us Miriam my dream weaver? Because her creations were quite literally, a DREAM!! She not only catered to every detail, but took tremendous care of my concerns and desires leading up to the wedding day itself. My guests continue to gush over the flowers and many even took them home and put them in vases and sent me pictures, hoping to hold one to just a few more days of their magic!! Thank you Miriam!!! Love you!! - Emilie Collazo-Turner and Paul Turner -

Amazing - just what i asked for
I cant' express how thankful I am for my friend recommending Miriam Dobaño. She is so pleasant and fun to talk to and I just can't believe how perfect everything came out. She 100% nailed the images I sent her as inspiration and made them come to life. Everyone talked about how beautiful the flower arrangements were and how elegant the room looked that night. I would recommend her any day to anyone. She is a rockstar! I wish I could live the experience all over again with her. -

It was such a JOY working with Miriam on my flowers and decor for my wedding at Hacienda Siesta Alegre. She came recommended by my wedding planner and I trusted all the details to Miriam. Her experience and expertise with HSA is what led me to ultimately book her and did not disappoint. I sent her some photos inspiration and worked on some ideas together for the seating chart but she took the lead of the work and execution of every beautiful detail at our wedding. I was so happy and stress free on my wedding since I knew to trust all of her work. So happy with all of the flowers and decorations that elevated the beauty of the venue. Thank you Miriam!! -

Amazing Experience
DOBA went above and beyond with the floral decor and left us speechless!! From the start, Miriam was super kind and attentive. We had a conference call initially to discuss my vision for the wedding. Miriam took notes, kept in contact, provided great feedback and was honest throughout the process. That meant a lot as I live in a different state and had to trust all would turn out as planned. Hacienda is already gorgeous venue and with that said, DOBA was able to enhance it even more!! I recommend DOBA hands down for your wedding decor. You will not be disappointed!!!! -

I 100% recommend DOBA by Miriam, who is an extremely talented Florist and Decorator who created a beautiful masterpiece beyond anything I could have ever hope or dream of for my wedding. She is so beautiful: inside and outside and it's reflected in her work. Miriam is so passionate, extremely professional, and you cannot go wrong with her. She responds very quickly and actually listens to what I was looking for. She provided advice and allowed me to stay in my budget while still giving me the best! It didn't matter how many times I changed my mind, she was always there to listen and take notes. She even incorporated my Cambodian background into the decor with the flower. It was such a sweet surprise. The Bouquets and Boutonnieres were exactly what I wanted (I pulled from Pinterest)
Seriously, all my guests LOVED the decor and flowers everywhere. I would pick Miriam 1000 times over because she is that phenomenal. From the planning phase to the day of the wedding, it was so seamless and so easy to plan with Miriam. Not to mention, she assisted in the floor design, seating chart, and found gold Tiffany chairs for me. She help designed the Welcome Sign and Seating Chart. Miriam made my day absolutely perfect and I just cannot thank her enough for all her hard work! Thank you so much Miriam! -

Raquel C. Sent on 03/02/2020DOBA is above and beyond your expectations
I married last week in Hacienda Siesta Alegre and we hired Miriam Dobano to do our decoration.
After meeting with several talented decorators, we selected Miriam because, not only is her talent evident when you see her decorations, but she is also the loveliest vendor to work with and was recommended by many other vendors. She is fair and gives her all to make your decorations above and beyond what you would expect.
I honestly think we got an incredible value for our money. She earned everything. She was fair, extremely easy to work with. I really just put all my trust in her. I answered a short questionnaire, sent her about 10 pictures from Pinterest and that was it. She literally made those Pinterest pictures come to life in my wedding. I was NOT expecting it to be so beautiful and that she would understand my vision so precisely as she did.
My wedding colors were light blue, peach and cream. I got the surprise of having blue water glasses (exactly like the ones I pinned on Pinterest) and that I was totally not expecting. I thought that would be too specific to find, specially on my budget. It was just BEAUTIFUL!!!! -

Miriam is the queen. She's honest and will tell you what looks good and what does not and I love that of her. Her job/art is stunningly beautiful. How she creates an entire different scene and different atmosphere with her decor is amazing. She exceeded our expectations. I loved every detail, every piece, every flower... just everything. She is organized and trustworthy, no doubt about it.
EVERYTHING, from ceremony to reception was GORGEOUS. Miriam is extremely talented and a MUST HAVE on your wedding team!! -

Absolutely the best!!!!
If you’re going to get married in Puerto Rico, having Miriam Dobano is an absolutely MUST! She exceeded all my expectations on the decor for my wedding. Miriam, was extremely communicative throughout the year leading up to my wedding and would always check in with questions and suggestions for the wedding date! She captured every single detail and created magic in the venue I chose! I can’t thank her enough for all her effort she put forth and for making my wedding day absolutely perfect! -

Since my husband and I began planning our wedding we had a specific picture in our mind on how the venue would look like; classy, elegant, warm, Frank Sinatra playing in the background, vintage 1940s style. We were so specific that we didn't know if we would find a decorator that could pull that off; Miriam Dobano can. From the day we had our first meeting with Miriam over the phone, we knew we were going to have the wedding of our dreams. She kept close communication with us throughout the year, and dare I say we even became friends. She was so easy to work with, gave me recommendations on other vendors that were at the same quality level as she is, and gave me advice in wedding decision making. Overall she gave us the experience that only a person who's obsessed with giving their clients the best would. Not only she was the decorator of our venue, she also decorated our ceremony and she made our party favors for ours guests- absolutely delicious homemade coquito (Puerto Rican eggnog). My flower bouquet was gorgeous and we asked her to find a red carnation for my husband's boutonniere (we were going for the classical James Bond look). She decorated our venue just as we dreamed of - from the tall candelabras that gave the room a sense of grandeur to the black and white pictures of my husband and I special moments in gold frames in each table to the beautiful white hydrangeas that made the room feel cozy and warm. We were absolutely stunned when we came into the room and were blown away by how beautiful and perfect everything was. All of my guests were in awe by how elegant everything was, even comparing it to a movie. I highly recommend Miriam if you are looking for someone to make the wedding of your dreams come true. -

Miriam was my florist and decor extraordinaire for our wedding at Hacienda Siesta Alegre! She is an experienced professional with an excellent eye for detail. I had a few ideas from Pinterest where Miriam was able to use for inspiration and I entrusted her on the rest. Miriam is flexible, easy to work with and responsive. We had a Chinese tea ceremony prior to the wedding ceremony and she was able to add a few special touches for this Chinese tradition. Miriam also provided our seating cards and menu which came out beautifully. Our guests were in awe with how beautiful the venue was along with the flowers and table settings. She helped make our wedding an unforgettable time for us and our guests. Thank you so much Miriam!! -

Maria Sent on 09/16/2018Miriam is amazing at what she does! She transformed our wedding venue into a magical space. The number one compliment our guests gave us was the decoration. Multiple people said they had never been to a more beautiful and elegant wedding.
Personally, I like pretty things but it's very difficult for me to come up with creative and beautiful ideas. So when I met Miriam I told her I'd like something classic, timeless, with greenery, and we eventually discussed adding marsala and blush which was such a great idea. I was never stressed because I knew it would be beautiful based on the pictures on her website. AND YET... the day of the wedding I was still blown away with the flower, decor, the details, and how everything came together.
Miriam will give you her personal cell phone and insists you call/text her with whatever question or detail you'd like to discuss at any time.
We gave her a set budget that she worked with. She never said, "I could do this... but it'll cost you more." She always presented beautiful ideas and alternatives within our budget. When we had fewer guests rsvp, she added and upgraded so many things like lounge furniture. It was fantastic. She even surprised me with an additional bouquet with different colors. Our sweetheart table was stunning and she handled our favors table with Puerto Rican trinkets. Everything was perfect and amazing!!! -

Dina Sent on 07/22/2018Miriam was amazing to work with. Her quality of flowers was top notch! She was recommended to us by our wedding planner Maria Lugo. My husband and I fell in love with her creativity and flower arrangements. Through our Pinterest board, she was able to capture our vision and was very helpful with figuring out how to make it possible within our budget. The colors and variety were exactly what I wanted. The floral decorations were more than what we expected. Miriam had a specific design for our wedding and we were extremely happy that we followed her expert advice. She did an outstanding job and definitely went above and beyond to deliver everything we wanted. My wedding bouquet and flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Miriam Dobano! Thank you for your excellent services and making our day extra special.
Lots of Love,
Dina & Marcus

Robin Sent on 06/28/2018Doba came recommended to us by our planner Maria Lugo and choosing her was the best decision we made! She takes the time to explain her vision or if you have been dreaming of your big day since you were old enough to walk, she will listen to you and help make your vision a reality. I happen to be the type that had zero vision of what my day would be so Doba took charge and walked me through all the details, sent emails with visuals and even helped with my Pinterest ideas ( I was new to Pinterest and making a hot mess, but that’s another story). I did not get to meet with Doba until the day of our wedding when she came to the room and presented me with my bouquet and the pictures do not do it justice! I could not be happier with the décor and flowers for our day. Gracias de nuevo DOBA, todo salió espectacular! -

Irene Sent on 07/04/2018Well what isn’t there to say about Miriam. Being a bride from New Jersey and having a destination wedding it is always difficult to leave you vision in the hands of someone else but right away my husband and I knew she would be the right person for the job. Miriam was personable, relatable, worked with our budget and was extremely flexible in her communication with us. She has a subtle confidence in how she carries herself that just explodes the minute you walk into your reception and realize that your reception is even more beautiful than you could have ever imagined. Every flower was perfectly arranged,
Every detail nailed, every candle perfectly placed, every menu, table linen, napkin just total perfection. WOW! Miriam even went through the trouble of going back to her home and transporting a sofa for us to help add to our decoration. She is truly a perfectionist, a professional and went above and beyond. Please take this review and know that if you are contemplating using DOBA for your wedding needs you will not be disappointment in any way, shape or form. Many thanks to Miriam who will forever remain in our thoughts and prayers! -
