It was a dream!

Working with Dan was amazing! I told him my vision and he took care of every single detail to make it come to life from colors, to flowers, to chairs, to up lighting, candles, etc. He cared about every single detail and took it off my plate to worry about. He worked around my schedule to make everything happen. He also worked directly with my vendors so I did not have to be the middle man for communication (PS I didn’t have a wedding planner!). The decorations made the Church and reception room an absolute dream!

And his wife is so sweet, supportive, and all around amazing herself!

Beautiful Wedding

We called Dan when we decided to have our wedding in Gainesville. We wanted small but beautiful and elegant. Dan provided us with everything we wanted and it all seems so effortless and seamless. We could not have asked for more. I would use Dan again and again…but I am now out of daughters.

Dan is the flower man!

Dan collaborated with us at every step in the wedding planning process. He helped us find most of our other vendors (which were all top fabulous). Dan’s attention to detail made for a spectacular, romantic evening. The flowers were stunning too. I got so many compliments on the bouquet and table arrangements. Flowers were the most important element for me and Dan didn’t hold back with his creativity and incorporating vibrant hues to match my vision.

Amazing, very prompt and extremely professional

Dan was so patient with me and very willing to accommodate me with a few minor changes. He was helpful to my entire wedding party even going the extra mile to help my husband tie his bow tie. Dan is extremely professional and would highly recommend him for any special event
