Mark and the team gave me the flowers of my dreams!

Mark was fantastic to work with and took my vision and ran with it! I never dreamed of how beautiful his work would be, I couldnt be more pleased. Knowing very little about flowers and not having a clear vision, he was able to take my limited direction and really create something beautiful and perfect for what I wanted.

Recommend to everyone and especially every bride!

Mark made my floral dreams come true for our April wedding! I cannot recommend him enough - not only did our wedding day surpass our wildest dreams, but he made the entire planning and engagement period feel like a breeze! I was so blown away by the quality of our flowers and all of the plans that I had been dreaming about for so long! I can honestly say that I think he made our flower budget go very far. If I could hire mark and his team a million times, I would. He was lovely and timely in all of his responses, thorough in his work, and the final product on wedding day blew me away!

Absolutely Amazing in Every Way

Mark was so fun and easy to work with. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us through the process. We didn't have a full vision in mind for floral, and Mark did an excellent job showing us all the different options and helping us throughout while staying within our budget. The final product looked absolutely amazing and elevated the beauty of the whole wedding.

Made the Vision Come True - Beyond What I Could Imagine

Mark and his team were absolutely fantastic! He was so easy to work with and had some incredible ideas on how to bring my wedding day vision to life. He even found a very creative way to include my favorite stuffed animal in the work! Everything looked beyond what I could have ever imagined. I was absolutely blown away. He was so professional and personable, and I wholeheartedly recommend him and his team. I only wish I lived in Roanoke or even in Virginia so I could work with him again!

Awesome Experience!

We absolutely loved working with Creative Occasions. Mark was excellent at creating a vision and then making it happen. We went ALL OUT with the flowers. Even though the event itself was small, we wanted do as much as possible with the flowers. The final result was wonderful. It looked like a fairy garden.

Beyond Amazing Experience!

We hired Creative Occasions Events, Flowers and Gifts to provide floral arrangements and linens for our daughter's wedding. We knew from the moment we met the owner, Mark Frye, that we were in good hands! Mark is exceptionally talented and creative, and takes the vision you have for your event and turns it into something truly amazing. Most of all he is the kindest and most wonderful person you could ever hope to meet! We knew our florals, linens and other centerpieces would be beautiful but we were completely blown away when we saw how he transformed the venue. We were so thrilled with everything and received many compliments on the flowers. Mark is simply the BEST!
