About

At Whimsical Gatherings, we believe in creating unforgettable swoon-worthy environments. As a design studio, we focus on transforming spaces. Our artisans custom-create unique and fresh products tailored to each client. Whether you need design assistance for your next soiree or living area, allow us to transform your space into something uniquely beautiful and distinctly you.

Whimsical Gatherings is not a cash & carry florist. We operate by appointment only. This allows our team to give you the specialized attention you deserve. At your initial consultation, one of our designers will gather information about the look and feel you want to express. Based on your needs we will develop an individualized plan for your environment. After booking, we will develop design concepts that create a stunning backdrop.

Whimsical Gatherings' proposals can be all-inclusive of your design dreams. We can include pricing for floral arrangements, rentals, focal pieces, lighting, etc. Our private studio houses many options to incorporate into your design; containers, brooches, crystals, props, furnishings, votives, fabrics, ribbons, and more. Our vase options alone include Mason jars, jelly jars, milk glass, beaded, vintage, crystal, mercury glass, mirrored, metal, crackled, wooden, and more. Big and small, tall and short, old and new, colored and clear, round and square...we have it all!

Your contract proposal with Whimsical Gatherings will include professional design production, a site visit to your venue before your event, preliminary drafting or mock design workups, delivery and transportation expenses, set-up and take down of all items the day or weekend of your event, and any other necessary design coordination to make your event absolutely perfect!

Saturday weddings have a $4000 minimum. Holiday weeks or weekends have a $4500 minimum. Interiors or smaller gatherings are priced according to event details.

We invite you to visit our website and blog at: www.whimsicalgatherings.com

Since we are often on-site designing events, interiors and conducting appointments, email is sometimes the best way to contact us directly.

Leah, Kolby and Carrie were worth every penny. I cried (with happiness!) when I saw the centerpieces for our dinner tables. They captured the exact feel I was hoping for in the ceremony, at dinner and in all of the flowers for each of my family members. They were a dream addition to our wedding weekend. As a meeting planner by profession, they were exactly the type of partner I would want to work at my corporate events as well as at my personal events.

Incredible job. Listened to every word we said. Stunningly beautiful window boxes, draped mantel arrangement, bouquets, cake and dinner tables. Far exceeded expectations. Cannot praise them enough. Venue was new and they were decorating spaces which hadn't been done before--ingenious solutions, respecting integrity of the setting. Difficult color palette, which they hit exactly. Highly, highly recommend.

I don't have the words to describe how amazing and awesome these guys are. They went way above and beyond for me to make my wedding so perfect...it was actually unreal how perfect it was! The Whimsical Gatherings team makes up one of the most professional vendors that I have EVER had the pleasure of encountering and working with. If you can dream it up they can make it happen for you! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone for any type of event that they may be having. They will make any vision that you have become an amazing reality and will work extra hard to make sure that every last detail is perfect for you. They were extremely responsive and are so personable and easy to work with. I felt completely confident in them throughout the entire planning process and they blew me away when I walked up to my ceremony/reception and saw what they did for me. It was just a dream. I just can't explain how grateful I am to them for all of the hard work and effort that they put into making my day perfect and special. I am forever thankful for them and their talents!

You guys are the BEST!

Leah & Carrie are absolutely the best in the business! They took my few pictures and ideas and created an amazing look for our wedding. The flowers were so beautiful and lasted so long after the day! They were able to get my favorite flowers even though they were out of season. We can't thank them enough for their support and incredible imaginations!

My only advice for a bride would be to hire Whimsical Gatherings. Get to enjoy the day and know that every little detail will be taken care of. We were absolutely blown away at the time and effort they put into our day.

Whimsical Gatherings is an outstanding group of people that will make your wedding exactly what you are hoping for and then some! Carrie Koller and her team were professional, kind, and open to all of my ideas. They took my vision and added just the right amount of their expertise to it. When I walked into my ceremony and reception areas it was more then I could have ever imagined! Everything was perfectly placed and designed to how I wanted it. They made my fairytale come true! I would highly recommend Whimsical Gatherings for a wedding or any special event!

Whimsical Gatherings was worth every penny! I didn't hire them until late in the planning process because I had planned on doing all the decorations myself. In my mind the only thing I needed was a florist. I am a very artsy/crafty person that truly believes if Martha Stewart, Pinterest or HGTV says I can do it, I can do it 100 times better. I finally realized that my big wedding dreams were getting harder and harder with my full time job. My poor fiance tried to help as much as he could but he just wasn't as crafty as I had hoped.
I wasn't even sure what all Whimsical Gatherings did until I met with their project manager, Carrie. She informed me of everything they had to offer and let me customize what I wanted according to my budget. Carrie actually helped me stay closer to my budget than I would have done on my own! The entire Whimsical Gatherings Team went above and beyond. They took all my ideas and pictures and made them their own/my own without just copying flower by flower! Not trying to brag, but thanks to Whimsical Gatherings, somebody probably just pinned one of my pictures on Pinterest as I wrote this review!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
