My Wedding Bliss with Decoratively speaking

We had the pleasure of working with J.R. whom we met while he was setting up an event at the kapok which is where we were having our wedding this past Saturday the 10th. Following a series of questions, he provided us with a wealth of information, leading us to schedule a meeting. We were impressed by his ideas and subsequently hired him. The experience was exceptional. J.R. was easy to work with, very accommodating, and always available. His team was outstanding, offering invaluable assistance especially to my parents. We are extremely happy with our decision to have worked with J.R. and his team and highly recommend his services.

BMW of Beverly Hills

Decorative Speaking Events has been absolutely incredible with our Christmas decorations year after year. The level of detail, creativity, and care they put into their work truly transforms our dealership and makes BMW of Beverly Hills feel extra special during the holidays.

We receive compliments constantly from our customers—many of them go out of their way to tell us how festive, elegant, and welcoming the dealership feels. The decorations elevate the entire customer experience and perfectly align with the premium BMW brand.

I recently relocated to this company and didn’t hesitate to bring Decorative Speaking Events with me. I worked with JR at my previous dealership, and he did such an outstanding job there that using anyone else was never an option. Once again, they exceeded expectations.

Professional, reliable, creative, and consistent—Decorative Speaking Events is a true partner, not just a vendor. We will be a long-term customer for many years to come.

Highly recommend.

The Most Beautiful Wedding We Could’ve Ever Imagined

Working with JR and the entire Decoratively Speaking Events team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. JR is truly an artist. Every detail was breathtaking and far beyond what I could have ever imagined. He brought our vision to life so perfectly that it genuinely felt like stepping into a dream.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning everything looked, but what meant the most was JR’s warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness. He treated our wedding as if it were his own, and his heart shines through in his work. From our first conversation to the very last moment, JR made the process joyful, seamless, and unforgettable.

He didn’t just decorate our venue, he transformed it. I will forever be grateful for his artistry, creativity, and generosity. Thank you, JR, for giving us the wedding of our dreams! 💖

j.r. Is amazing!

Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting J.R. at a different venue while planning my wedding. He impressed me with his creative ideas and meticulous attention to detail. Despite the postponement of our wedding due to a hurricane and the subsequent change of venue, J.R. played a crucial role in recommending alternative venues. His professionalism, helpfulness, and dedication to his work are commendable, and the event he helped organize was elegant, beautiful, and exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend J.R. and his team for any event. Hands down my favorite vendor we hired! My husband and I could not have been more impressed with how beautiful our event turned out to be! Thank you J.R and staff!! You truly are AMAZING! xo

Paris at its Best!!!!

JR and his amazing team at Decorativelyspeaking Events were top notch professionals who more than met our expectations and gave us the most spectacular decor that perfectly captured the wedding of our dreams! We loved our wedding theme so much and they executed the vibe of a Parisian wedding as if we were transported in the romantic city for the evening! We had elaborately decorated Eiffel Towers with beautiful floral arrangements on top of them! The foyer was set up like a French café with the movie American in Paris playing on a monitor in the background! The colors were silver, purple and lavender which embodied a majestic look to the event! The tables were named after different parts of France. We felt like royalty sitting at our very own private sweetheart table that was so ornately decorated that it was fit for a king and queen! The cake table looked like out of a magazine! Everything was so stunning like a celebrity wedding that our guests were so impressed and gave us so many compliments! I can hardly wait for the professional photos so that I can post them. We would highly recommend JR and his Team for any event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
