The most Magical Wedding night!

Peter James is by far the best in the business! From the day we first met him he exceeded our expectations of what we wanted for our wedding. We were absolutely in awe the day of our wedding and Peter James feels like family! Thank you for everything xo

Review of Peter James

My wife and I worked with Peter James of Couture Events for the flowers and decor at our recent wedding. We originally met Peter James early on in our wedding planning at our caterer’s tasting where he was gracious enough to invite us to sit with him (as well as recommend several different wedding services to us which we ended up using and loving). From our first meeting with him, he put our minds at ease and made the whole process as easy as possible for us. As someone who knows nothing about flowers, I was able to point to one picture and from that he was able to create the most beautiful bouquets and flower arrangements that were absolutely perfect for us and everything I never knew I wanted. When we finally saw our venue the day of our wedding everything looked stunning. He was even able to incorporate a few odds and ends of our own flawlessly into his design of the venue. Overall, I would encourage anyone to use Peter James while planning an event; he is a true professional, a delight to work with, and has become a good friend.

So far... Wonderful

We hired Peter James last week, and he is already catering to my every need. Every bride needs someone like him at her disposal. I am very pleased we met and clicked so well.

Absolute Perfection in Asbury Park!

From the moment you speak to or meet Peter James, you know that you have chosen the ONE to assist you with your wedding planning needs! Wedding planning can be a stressful time but Peter immediately set us at ease.
He was absolutely a professional and a joy to work with! I was greatly impressed with his expertise across multiple areas. Not only did he do an amazing job with the floral arrangements, his recommendations for other needs ( cake, transportation, etc.) were perfect. Everything that was planned worked out without a glitch! I highly recommend Couture Events for wedding planning or any other special events! It was Absolute Perfection in AP!

Best Wedding Coordinator/ Planner - Period

We HIGHLY recommend Peter and his creative team at Couture Events of New Jersey in making your vision a reality. Not only did Peter respond almost immediately to texts, calls and emails during the 7 month planning process, but Jim and Peter also met us multiple times at our 2 venues - hours away from their home base. They also recommended the most amazing make-up artist and helped find a hair stylist at the last minute when ours backed out. On the day of the wedding, we trusted Peter's ability to ensure everything was perfect, so we left our cell phones in our room to enjoy the day without a concern. From our eyes, everything was flawless - no easy task as we booked 2 venues, including a yacht with prompt boarding / debarking times. In the end, our guests described our wedding as: "epic" and "out of a magazine" - to which we agree!!! THANK YOU PETER, JIM and COUTURE EVENTS OF NEW JERSEY!!!

Highly Recommend

Peter James went above and beyond for our wedding! I had an abstract idea of what I wanted and he was basically able to extract it from my brain (even when it was difficult for me to articulate at times) and transform it into reality! Needless to say, we absolutely loved our floral arrangements for both our wedding and for my bridal shower. Not only was his artistry fantastic, but Peter was also a true pleasure to work with. He’s personable and funny and it shows that he’s genuinely passionate about what he does. He was responsive with our communications and mobilized fast for last minute edits. He makes you feel like he’s got it all under control (which is comforting for any bride to be). I would recommend Peter James and Couture Events of NJ without reservation and can personally say that I plan to seek his services for future events!

Summer wedding

Peter James did a wonderful job with our wedding! The flowers were perfect and exactly what we needed and just in our budget! I had no idea what to select and Peter put my mind at ease and created beautiful arrangements! Thank you adding a special touch to our wedding and also to my bridal shower. The flowers were loved by everyone.

Absolutely Beautiful Flowers

I worked with Peter James of Couture Events this spring for my daughter's bridal shower and for her wedding which just took place on 8/16/19. For both occasions, Peter's creations were outstanding. He is a true artist who listened to us as we explained our "vision" and who also offered his own ideas and suggestions to bring our vision to life. The end results were so much more than I could have ever imagined. He created beautiful bridal bouquets, table centerpieces, ceremony decorations and so much more. His attention to detail was impeccable. He communicated with us every step of the way. I very highly recommend Peter James of Couture Events. He is a wonderful floral designer!

Fantastic planning services!

Peter and Jim were both absolutely amazing leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Peter was very good about keeping me on track with my planning and always helpful and quick when responding to my questions and concerns. On the day of, both were in constant communication with each other and our vendors while making sure that our day was exactly what we dreamed of. They truly were a huge reason why our day turned out to be exactly what we had hoped for. Thank you both!
