Must have vendor!

When I say book Shirley now, I mean it!! There are not enough words to describe how amazing working with Shirley is and how purposeful she is with her work! From the very beginning she was responsive and so fun to work with. She has an incredible eye for design and makes any vision come to life. I am a huge floral lover and when I walked around my wedding and saw how Shirley brought every detail from my vision to perfection I was in awe! There is truly no one better!!! (will post photos when I get professional ones back, esp our ceiling installation!)

Amazing experience from start to finish

Shirley was amazing at helping our flowers and decor come alive. Truly the highlight of the wedding. Shirley was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She made our vision come to life. She was very flexible and helped work within our budget. From the beginning she communicated the entire process and the day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything. It was nice not to worry about set up or clean up. It was well worth it. She is the absolute best person to deal with decorations and flowers on the outer banks. Look no further than Sugar Snap Events!

Exceptional, personal, and so much fun

We chose to hire Shirley from Sugar Snap Events based on the “preferred vendor” list provided by our venue. From the beginning of the planning process through the end of the wedding itself, Shirley has been a consistently calm, responsive, and enthusiastic character. She knows her community inside and out, from the various venues to the various vendors. Her great relationships with all of them shows and was very important to us while our venue went through some changes in management. The venue did an excellent job with the shifts, but we had no doubt that Shirley was there to fix any hiccups that could have come up during that process. She did so much more than just decorating.

In addition to her interpersonal skills and expertise, she created magic out of the spaces we used during our events. She transformed a deck overlooking a beach, a stunning-on-its-own fine dining restaurant, and a somewhat basic building with lovely deck and lawn into uniquely lovely spaces, weaving our personal style into each venue without overwhelming their natural beauty. Her eye for the bigger picture as well as the smallest details made for a visual feast. The mix of sculptural, whimsical, and natural she created was everything we had imagined, but better. We feel so lucky to have hired her.

While being prompt, professional and extremely talented, they also bring an aura of humor and excitement to each wedding. They love what they do, and want each client to be ecstatic over their florals and design. They are quick to respond to emails, have straight forward and easy to read proposals, and are always happy to explain flowers/cost, etc. to help brides navigate what will work best for their particular wedding. We love working with them and know all of our clients will love working with them too!

It's easy to endorse someone who hits a home run every time they get up to the plate. Shirley and Laura at Sugar Snap Events do just that. I've worked with them for over a decade and enjoyed it very much. They have personalities that compliment each other in giving you a service and product you'll be very happy with.
