Duran Estevez wedding

Where do I even begin?! I did SO much research to find the perfect wedding planner. Originally from New York, I literally knew nothing about wedding planning in Miami. Thankfully, after weeks and weeks of searching I found Guerdy. I saw an interview Guerdy did about how she incorporated butterflies into a wedding for loved ones that had passed. I knew then that Guerdy was who I wanted to work with! We scheduled our first meeting and I remember leaving that meeting with so much peace knowing that I would have nothing to worry about in a time that can be so stressful for any bride. Guerdy truly understands the process and really focuses on making sure every detail is executed to perfection.
She literally put together the wedding of our dreams! From the venue, the design, the flowers to the rest of the vendors it was a fairytale wedding. She even included such a unique touch for our guests. Instead of doing a guestbook she decided to incorporate a wish tree where guests could write us wishes for us to read and keep. I loved how much she listened to my taste and would make the perfect selections for our special day. I am forever grateful for the beautiful job that Guerdy and her team did! From beginning to the very end -it is truly a day that I will never forget. Thank you to Guerdy for being such an amazing wedding planner to work with! Not only is she the best in the business but she has the sweetest personality. I would pick her over and over and over again! I want to get married again just to have her create beautiful magic again! Ps...the flowers are from her own flower shop❤️

A must to hire guerdy!

Guerdy and her entire team are the TOPS in the event planning world! We hired Guerdy when we planned our daughter's wedding weekend at the St Regis Bal Harbour January 2020. It was a destination weekend with majority of guests coming from the New York area. Guerdy coordinated every aspect of the weekend with every vendor. Décor Concepts, Tastings, Photography, Videpgraphy, Invitations and more. She attended all my meetings either in person or on line. She is SO ORGANIZED!! Did not miss a thing and made sure all the small details were special which was like the perfect thread weaving all the fabrics together. Guerdy planned a Friday night rehearsal dinner where all guests wore white and the décor was impeccable and clean with Blue Hydrangeas. Each person place seating had there own mini challah with custom printed liners. The night was perfection and turned into an amazing welcome dance party!
Saturday - the wedding day was timed to the minute. We woke up and Hair and Makeup began, set up and on time. and we followed her timeline to the minute ALL DAY LONG!
The day was flawless. She had the vision to create each space where it felt inviting full of "eye candy". The cocktail reception she used cabanas with floating plexiglass where she had custom escort table walls built. The chuppah and ceremony were clean and white with just the right amount of movement in the evening breeze. Rose petal cannons shot out wishing a huge MAZEL TOV and capturing the perfect photo-op. Our reception room was INCREDIBLE!! A unique table design with some lounge feeling seating, a special watercolor dance floor with hanging roses above. There are no WORDS to describe the look of the room. Please go to GUERDYDESIGN on Instagram and look at her story titled "SATNICK WEDDING" The details are what makes Guerdy stand apart!! She had the bride and grooms' photo on Hotel Key cards, Welcome bag goodies, paper cones with truffle French fries! The after party was a creative genius all done by Guerdy! She took letter that the kids wrote to each other and recreated them on a dance floor which also served as a foyer to the main ballroom. The space was electric filled with a laser light show, mirrored DJ booth and candy shelves. We all partied until the wee hours of the morning with swag and FUN FUN FUN!! HIRING GUERDY is a MUST for a flawless, creative, organized perfect event!

Guerdy and her wonderful team created a "FAIRY TALE WEDDING"! They allowed us to experience a seamless "MAGICAL WEEKEND" from Friday night rehearsal dinner to Sunday brunch! She is extremely talented, creative, and was very receptive to all of my ideas and suggestions. Her organizational skills and fabulous attention to detail allowed me to enjoy all the weekend festivities with confidence that everything would be perfect. And it exceeded all our expectations!!! The Chuppah was absolutely MAGNIFICENT and the dinner reception room evolved into a GORGEOUS, ELEGANT, enchanted garden with a modern flair, but done very tastefully. The accolades from my guests were unending.... We were from out of town and every vendor she recommended was outstanding. From the make up artist to the band, to the videographer to the photographer!!!! My guests never wanted the weekend to be over.... All she wants to do is make her clients happy!! Working with Guerdy was like working with a friend. I can't wait for our next event together!!

Guerdy Abraira and her team made our dream wedding a reality! They did our wedding planning and event design. We planned a Miami wedding from New York and they made it stress free and fun! Guerdy and her team were always responsive and kept us organized and on time. So much so, that I was able to do absolutely nothing but relax the week leading up to my wedding. Guerdy's attention to detail is incredible. She completely got my vision and took it to the next level. She put us in touch with the best vendors who were all trustworthy and amazing. Guerdy transformed the ballroom into a complete fairytale, even the vendors were blown away! It was the most beautiful room I have ever seen! Not only is Guerdy beyond talented but she made the process so much fun and we miss her already! I cannot recommend Ocean Flowers enough.

From the first phone call I made to Guerdy (she was my planner too) I felt completely at ease planning a destination wedding with her. From the chuppah, to my bouquet (she had peonies shipped in from Israel!) to centerpieces, to love seat to twinkle lights... It was truly a magical wedding that my friends and family are still talking about. Just amazing!! If you want the freshest flowers, with the best designer use this company. Guerdy thought through all the details to create my vision and even let us use her light up "love" sign as a cute decor for the night. It was such a fun experience and process working with her team. Truly talented!! I still stare at the photographs at how amazing everything turned out. Thank you thank you ! xo

Wedding of my dreams come true!! I was very nervous as are all brides for their big day, but in particular because we only had 3 months to plan, due to my career. I know it sounds crazy, but Guerdy Abraira and her team created miracles, all the while being smooth. From the beginning to end, from the venue to the flowers. Even right before walking down the aisle I had a last second change of mind on my bouquet design and they actually created a new one in minutes. Seriously Guerdy was in all the details, so many of them that I didn't think of, she reassured me all throughout. I think at one point I could call her a therapist, her positive energy and professionalism was unseen. My friends and family members are still saying it was the best wedding they have ever been t
