Do not hesitate to hire!

Deb and her team are absolutely incredible! My expectations were high and they exceeded them beyond what I imagined. I was nervous about choosing florals because I did not know much going into the process, besides having a general vision and Pinterest photos of what I liked--Deb took my ideas and turned them into something magical. Not only were the florals stunning, the A Gala Affair team went above and beyond the day of the wedding, adding leftover florals to every area of the venue, moving (and re-designing) the florals from the ceremony to reception space, and organizing/taking everything at the end of the night. The team not only creates stunning floral arrangements, they have an incredible eye for design and knew exactly how to bring everything together to create a beautiful space. Deb was lovely to work with and truly captured my vision. I cannot recommend A Gala Affair enough!

These are your people!

THEEE one stop shop for flowers, signs, pre aisle decor, decorations etc. You name it and they’ll make it happen. They have the most incredible flowers and decoration team. Deb & the team literally MADE our wedding. They were so easy to work with, were so organized and quick to respond. Truly, they went above & beyond and THEN SOME. We received endless compliments and comments on the flowers at our wedding. I will never be over it!!! These are the people you want at your wedding and they were well worth the money!

A Magical French Garden Reception! Oui! Oui!

There are no words to describe how amazing Deb and her team are. They are so professional, creative & caring. The bridal bouquets, the table center pieces and all the beautiful flower decor/draping at the reception were "out of this world" gorgeous! The best part was the "Take Away Bouquet" Flower Bar at the end of the night. Deb and her team deconstructed the flower centerpieces towards the end of the reception and prepared HUGE bouquets at the "Flower Bar" station for my guests to take home. It was such a lovely surprise gift to send our guests home with! We had been told by everyone that the flowers (and smiles) lasted almost 2 weeks after the wedding! Deb brought our Versailles inspired French Garden Wedding Reception fantasy to life & we will be forever grateful! Thank you!!
