Coordinating & Floral Package

I was gracious enough to have Petals by Emmanuel recommended to me by a co-worker. And I was excited to work with him. We had done some communicating prior to setting up a Virtual Meeting. Once we met with Emmanuel we were relieved to have a vision and idea of what we wanted.

We had our Month of Virtual Meeting that went over every single detail possible, which was greatly appreciated. Emmanuel is a true professional and knows the wedding business quite well.

His work is beautiful as it pertains to the Floral side, so much so that we would love to have our centerpieces replicated for silk to have around for years to come. His vision of what you want is carried out quite well.

We can't wait to find a reason to hire Emmanuel again for another event.

Incredible! Beautiful flowers and helpful service

Emmanuel made our vision for our wedding a reality, and even went above and beyond our expectations for to make our wedding special. He was easy to work with, and really helped us to fine tune what we wanted for our flowers and wedding decorations by looking at examples that we found and even advising us on different details etc. During the planning stages, he set up a final design meeting where we met in person to go over all the details. After that meeting we still had a couple decisions to make, so he was gracious enough to meet with us two more times.

As an example of how helpful he was, we planned to have fresh flowers decorating our cake. Emmanuel offered to drop the flowers off at the bakery himself, the day before the wedding. This was very helpful and one of the many examples of how Emmanuel came through to make our wedding planning and day a joyful experience.

The decorations were one of the biggest items for us at our wedding, and on wedding day Emmanuel and his team arrived early to set everything up, and it looked absolutely amazing! Everything came together beautifully, and the quality was incredible. We are so happy to have worked with you Emmanuel! We wish you the best of success and if we ever need decorations or flowers again in the future we hope to work with you!

Excellent Coordination

Emmanuel did an excellent job in coordinating my wedding. He made sure that everything was in place down to the very last details. I was anxious and stressed during the preparation, but he was there to assure me that he would take care of whatever it is I was worried about. He was very patient in answering all my questions and very knowledgeable of his craft. He took the weight of the worries from us and just did his thing perfectly. Everybody in the wedding was amazed of how organized everything was and how wonderful the wedding was put together. I recommend him to anyone who is planning to get a wedding coordinator or looking to have amazing bouquets. He won’t disappoint you. He’s really excellent!

If you want to be a brideCHILLA, instead of a bridezilla, you should definitely hire Emmanuel as your wedding coordinator and florist! You will never regret it. The wedding planning was such a breeze. His attention to every detail is impeccable. He surely made our vision a reality! From the first meeting up to the day of the wedding, he is very accommodating. He was there in every step of the way, start to finish. Our guests were highly impressed with his work. It was indeed a stress free wedding. Our wedding turned out beautiful and perfect because of Emmanuel and his team. We are forever grateful. Also, we gained a friend. Thank you so much Emmanuel! -Lyn & Jhon

Steven & Pauline 7/21/19

Emmanuel was our day of coordinator for our big day. He helped with setting up center pieces, flowers, lining bridal party up, and making sure everything runs smoothly in scorching record heat. He did not complain at all and checked up on the bride and groom on numerous occasions. He made our day stress free and everyone is still talking about our wedding til this day. He is also very funny during the planning process and responds to emails in a timely manner. He is not only an acquaintance, but we can now call him a friend.
Thanks,
Steven and Pauline

Wedding Coordination and Design

Our wedding turned out to be the best we could imagine it to be and even more! We are grateful to Emmanuel!
My husband and I needed an expert to do professional coordination for our church wedding on July 19, 2019 where we also celebrated our 10th civil wedding anniversary. We contacted Emmanuel 6 months before our wedding as he was referred to us by our friend at work after Emmanuel also did their's.
Emmanuel did not disappoint from our first meeting, the planning up to execution are superb to summarize. Above all interactions we had with him, one thing we remember is that he will often remind us to enjoy the process, and leave the stress for him to handle. And so we did! Thanks to him because not only that he is an expert in his field, but also it shows how passionate he is in his craft. His creativity and attention to detail, his people skills, calm demeanor and friendly nature to us and to our family, his strict and timely management and organization of tasks and collaboration with vendors, his attentiveness to our unique needs and his honest share of feedbacks. These are the qualities that we have seen in him.
No words can describe how happy we were during the wedding and even up to now. Everything was magical! From my bouquet that I can not get my eyes off, The church and the venue where glowing with beautiful flowers and lavish design. My Mom even repeatedly stated she wanted to have her marriage vows renewed in church with my dad and hire Emmanuel. Our best man said that it was the best wedding he had attended EVER! Everybody told us how beautiful the wedding was.
Emmanuel is heaven sent. He loves what he does and it radiates in his work. I would not imagine anybody else doing such amazing, amazing job.

My Wedding was beautiful!

I got married last 6/14/19. I still can’t believe how beautiful my Wedding was. It was like a dream come true. All those sleepless, tiring nights.. all faded away because everything was beautiful! Thanks to Nino for making that happen. He was able to follow the design I wanted and exceeded my expectations in terms of my flower arrangements. Nino was able to work on my budget which I was thankful for. Nino was also my Wedding planner. From my experience... Wedding planning was very challenging for me and there were times I had breakdowns and sleepless nights. Nino was there to answer my questions even late at night. Nino was great especially on the day of my wedding when I had problems with my train. He made sure that my train was very secured before I walked down the aisle. Kudos to him! He was my right hand that day! Although there were parts of the wedding that were not perfect... I still considered it perfect and successful because of the help of Nino and the rest of the Vendor team. A job well done to everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
