I absolutely love Stuart, he was amazing to work with he provided the draping, furniture, and the dance floor for my wedding. I contacted him in the late stages of planning -- I only had a 4 month engagement to start with. So he was amazing at responding, willingness to work with us, and you can tell he loves what he does! He was amazing the day of the wedding, he also decorated for our brunch the next day! It was amazing!! He has the greatest ideas, and is so willing to work with any price point! We also rented part of his warehouse to take our engagement photos -- they turned out so amazing with the view of downtown from the roof! I was recommend him a million times over!!!

We had a very large wedding in a room at a hotel that typically holds business meetings. The ball room was already booked. He turned a very ordinary space into a spectacular array of tasteful table settings, lighting, draping and lounge areas. Guests who had been in the room earlier for a conference couldn't believe it was the same room. He was also great with traffic flow and logistics for over 400 people.

Stuart puts everything he has into his productions. His creativity and designs are amazing, and he was helpful in suggesting ideas that would give us the most out of our budget. We were wowed when we got to our venue, as were our guests. Stuart is a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or other special event.

Stuart Alexander has been amazing to work with. He has an eye for tying every element together and truly takes the time to get to know what exactly you envision your wedding to look like. We met with him at our venue and he walked us through everything we had discussed in our previous meeting which helped us decide what items were truly important to us.

Stuart made our wedding reception a beautiful, magical place. He was willing to meet any time that was convenient for us and made each meeting a totally effective, fun occasion. He listened to me and my daughter, which was so important to the event's success. If we disagreed on anything, he presented his side and I presented mine, and we came to a total compromise. Example: we started out with different opinions for our flowers, and after much discussion, we just let Stuart go with his vision for color and flower choice. Oh my gosh; the bridal party flowers were amazing. I could not have imagined anything better for my only daughter's bridal bouquet. During and after the reception, my husband and I received many, many compliments about the setting. We even received notes afterwards, telling us that this was the most beautiful wedding and reception some had ever been to. In summary, I totally recommend Stuart for your special event; he WILL make is special. After all was said and done, I am happy to still consider Stuart a very good friend.

PS. If you are concerned about the cost of his services, have a talk with him about your budget!
