Amazing to work with!

Soraya is extremely attentive to detail and is an expert on wedding planning and coordination (we definitely learned a lot from her throughout!). She is warm, kind and empathetic, which makes her adept at anticipating and addressing needs and concerns throughout the wedding planning process. We really enjoyed working with Soraya, and thank you so much for giving us a magical, stress free and fun wedding experience!

Soraya is there for you, so you can focus on the good times.

Soraya was a delight to work with and was supportive of our needs and wants along the way. We only needed her services as a day-of contact and liaison for vendors because we had done most of the logistical planning and coordinating but she came prepared to help map out the schedule, prepare a contacts list, conduct our rehearsals, and more. We were both surprised - Soraya because she didn't know we had done so much of the legwork already and us because we didn't imagine that she'd be willing to support with so many fundamentals of the event.

More valuable to us was the warmth she brought to the process. She didn't try to tell us what to do but instead came ready to make our desires work for the event. Plus, her bilingual skills worked really well, as most of our vendors were Spanish speaking!

Smooth sailing with Soraya

Soraya… where do I even start. An absolute dream to work with, angel and light of a human being, and the very reason my wedding day was stress-free. From the beginning a soundboard and endless source of knowledge, and such a patient, generous, kind, and professional woman. Don’t hesitate to hire her… do it now!

Seriously, just hire Soraya and team!

If I could give 6 stars I would. Soraya from day 1 was warm, kind, fun to work with, and passionate about what she does which shows with her work. Soraya was both my day-of planner as well as florist and she completely captured the vibe we wanted. My wedding day was completely stress-free and I was able to enjoy being in the moment because I had so much trust and confidence in Soraya. From a professional standpoint Soraya is unmatched. But on a human level, her energy is what sets her over the top. If you are looking for a kind, fun, organized, creative planner..she is it! Could not imagine the process without her. Eternal thank you’s, Soraya!

Best wedding decision ever!

Let me start this off by saying that Soraya has been an absolute dream to work with and probably the best person to have in your corner during any event. My husband and I were lucky enough to have her as our day-of-coordinator and florist and that decision is probably the best we’ve made through the whole wedding process. I’m not going to lie, I’m one of those brides who didn’t really see the point of weddings and just wanted to get the wedding “over and done with” and was very concerned about going over budget. But I remember after our first phone meeting, I felt like I was brought back to childhood me who’s actually excited about the wedding and wanted my wedding day to feel like a fairy tale. I think it’s all because of her sincerity and positivity - she makes you feel like everything is possible - even on a budget!

Soraya and Lisa truly went above and beyond for me and my husband. Always there when I needed her, was very patient with us with last minute changes, calmed me down when I was overthinking about how things could go wrong, and most of all, she was there to constantly remind me and my husband of what’s truly important - and that’s to have a good time. I don’t know what fires she had to extinguish on the day of the wedding, I’m sure I don’t know any of them because she prioritized us having a good time and took care of it all. She takes care of her clients like family. And that is something that I think is truly rare and hard to find. Thank you so much Soraya for making our wedding one to remember! Our families and friends all appreciated your contagious light and calming presence, and of course, your most beautiful floral creations just as we planned! I wish I had wedding photos to share so that everyone can witness your brilliance! I’ll try to update this review once I get them! Again, thank you for everything and we will never forget you!

She really cared!!

She was such a joy to work with. She was so happy for us and offered to help so much during our planning phase. She even went as far as communicating to the venue on our behalf and would even help retrieve some of the decorations that we still needed to purchase. Would highly recommend to use her services as she will put 110% effort into making your big day special!

A Supremely Talented Professional and Better Human Being

It's hard to put into words how incredible Soraya was. Her work was absolutely beautiful. The arbor piece she created for our altar was magical, and the bouquets and boutonnieres were perfect. We didn't have very firm wedding colors, more of a general palette, but she nailed it and gave us florals that elevated our design and made the whole wedding feel more cohesive. On top of all that, she is just a wonderful and kind human being. She created a handmade basket for our flower girl for her to keep that made her feel like a princess. As for our ring bearer, she provided a treasure chest for him to carry the rings in, which he also adored and she allowed him to keep as a gift. We're not frequent throwers of big events, but we would truly throw a giant party any time just for the chance to work with her again.

I loved every detail that she put into my wedding!

Soraya is a gem to the wedding planning/florist industry. She was so amazing and my husband and I are so happy that we picked her as our florist. Her attention to detail and inventiveness in flower choices and color made our wedding truly magical. It really wouldn’t have been the same if we had gotten a different florist. The additional decor that she added with the flowers brought me to tears at some point because I was looking at true creative beauty. She will make your wedding venue look so much more beautiful!

Amazing DOC + florist

Soraya was such a joy to work with. She helped us for a whole extra year since our wedding got pushed back due to COVID. She was constantly checking up on us throughout the year(s!) to make sure we were holding up okay and that we were on track for the big day. She was also very attentive in keeping us within our budget, which was one of my top concerns. We got month-of coordination services through her and florals and decor as well, which really helped simplify things for us! On our big day, Soraya and her assistant Lisa were so much fun while still making sure everything was going smoothly and on time; even our bridal party fell in love with them! I highly recommend working with Soraya for your big day.

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Soraya!

Soraya coordinated our wedding and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Not only is she a talented planner with a great eye for design -– she's also an incredibly genuine, warm, and thoughtful human being. You can just tell that she truly cares about people.

Soraya gave us so much support and guidance as we planned out the details, always going above and beyond to help out. And during the month of our wedding, I seriously don't know how I could have kept my sanity without her. She coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors, helped us create a great timeline and floor plan, thought of every little detail, and kept everything organized while she did it.

She also has a gift for bringing people together and making them feel comfortable. On my wedding day, I felt like I could actually relax and enjoy myself thanks to her work. (And I'm someone who gets easily stressed out, even on normal days!)

Basically everything was perfect and we're so grateful she was a part of our wedding. I highly recommend working with her, no matter where you are in the process.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Soraya! Here is a precious lady, with a magical touch with florals, and all things beautiful. She has a lovely vision for pulling dreams, colors, and plans together, and formulating a wedding day with the highlights of color, class, and elegance. Soraya stands out to me because of her personal interest in people. She pursued me with kindness, and interest and I was delighted to get to know her. She helped make the wedding (where we first me) look luxurious! She is humble, sweet, and kind. Please invite her into your event! Cassia Karin
