    77th Luau Birthday Party

    Merlene from MEI Floral was amazing as usual. We often use her services. Creative is what I would describe her as. She is amazing. She has great people working with her. She loves what she does and it shows!

    Gorgeous bouquet

    I highly recommend this florist for all your bridal needs. My bouquet was stunning. I gave Merlene my wedding colors and she designed my bouquet, it was as if she could read my mind!! I couldn't have asked for better. She is amazing to work with.

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Darlene,
    Congratulations again and thank you so much for your kind words, It was truly our pleasure to create your beautiful bouquet.
    Warm regards.

    Simply the best!

    Merlene did an amazing job and I am very satisfied with my bouquet et boutonnière.
    She sent me a picture of the bouquet after she was done and when I got it it was even more beautiful in person. I cannot wait to walk down the isle with my bouquet! I would 200% recommend Merlene!!

    Christelle, thank you for your kind words. I am so happy you love your bouquet, It warms my heart to see the excitement on your face.

    Experience is key and it opens perfect options you were not thinking of.

    If you need a person to help you realize your dream event, this is the Vendor you should choose. They listen, visualize your request, explore and give options you never thought about. This Vendor lead me to exactly what I had in mind. Excellent!

    Hire this vendor to plan and coordinate 40th birthday party

    I met Merlene 14 years ago. I hired her as my wedding planner because of the beautiful job she did with my friend's wedding. Fast forward to 14 years later I commissioned Merlene to help my husband plan my 40th birthday party. I used her services for decor and day of coordination. Merlene gave us for the 2nd time a beautiful memorable event completely stress free. It was so nice to arrive and be the guest of honor enjoying the venue and all my guests. Merlene took care of everything and kept the party flowing so no one felt that awkward moment of "now what's next". I am looking forward to working with Merlene on future family celebrations. Her service is amazing and she can work with any budget.

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Renee you are my gem I still remember your wedding and how you were in awe as you saw your vision before your eyes ... and now as you said 14 years later bringing back that smile as you see your birthday setting and you and your guest having a blast ... so let’s do this again.. whenever you are ready.

    Beautiful Florals!

    As an out of town bride, it would have been impossible for me to plan a Miami wedding without an experienced wedding planner. Thankfully, I had Merlene! I was somewhat of a hands-off bride - I had a general vision, some Pinterest inspiration, and pictures of supermarket flowers (lol) which I shared with Merlene, but I was not very particular about the details. I figured that I had hired a team of professionals for my day and I trusted them to do their jobs.

    I had one in person meeting with Merlene after hiring her as my wedding planner where we walked through her very thorough questionnaire and talked budget for the florals. She really did everything she could to work with me to make my vision come true within budget including offering the use of several freebies (candleholders, tealights, etc).

    I was happy I gave Merlene the freedom to create because she suggested some great ideas I wouldn't have considered such as hoop floral arrangements for the bridal party which turned out great!

    On my wedding day, Merlene really came through! When I walked into my venue on my wedding day, I could not believe how she had transformed a few pins and general ideas into this breathtaking scene. The flowers and all the decor were perfect. Like I said, I was not overly detailed in my instructions, so it was a pleasant surprise to me on my wedding day. So many guests commented on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly the day ran, and I could not have done that without Merlene!

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Tiffany congratulations again on your wedding, you were stunning and the MEI team would like to thank you for allowing us to bring our creative ideas into your special day.

    I must say your guests, your husband Michael and your parents was very pleased and for us that is what it is All About. Thank you for trusting us and we wish you all the best..

    Amazing Event Planner

    Merlene is the bomb.com. She helped me plan a surprise vow renewal for my husband. I live in Wisconsin and I was a little skeptical with putting all my trust in someone who lived so far away. But I have to say, Merlene made me feel comfortable. She was very professional and very detailed. She never left me out of the process and always concerned my opinions. To make a long story short, my vow renewal service in Florida was great. If I had to do it all over again, she would be the one person I would pick. Merlene delivers....

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Tonya I have planned many weddings and have schemed with many couples on many things but with your wedding bringing a total surprise for your vow renewal to Kenneth is second to none.
    Thank you for trusting us with such an important days of your life.
    The MEI team now has your day down as Priceless!!!

    Your Event Planning Company Search Stops Here!

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners are definitely a cut above the rest and I am thrilled I chose them to assist us in planning our wedding! Merlene & I hit it off right away and she is definitely a dynamic being. She was professional, flexible, available, patient and just an all-around easy person to get along with, which is super important when it comes to choosing an event planner. She would even send me ideas/suggestions to help get my creative juices flowing and aid in the process of creating my wedding vision, but was never pushy and did not try to impose. Her team - Sharon and Yvonne - was kind and accommodating the day of the rehearsal and wedding day (even when I was obsessing over the reception doors being closed lol... they kept their cool. Thanks for understanding ladies). One of them even helped calm me down by offering encouraging words while I was in the church's prep room getting ready to walk down the aisle.

    I would recommend M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners any day, and if you're looking for a full service event planning company, book them! They will not disappoint!

    Thank you again, M.E.I. Team! You guys had a strong hand in making our wedding day AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL and an event my husband and I will cherish forever!

    "We do it all!"

    My husband and I selected a destination wedding and had no clue where to start. After countless hours of research, I selected Merlene for decorating and flowers.

    In recalling everything we did together before writing this review, I typed Merlene's name into my email search, there were 23 search results. Of those 23 emails, 3 had over 20 responses each.

    Merlene was THAT dedicated to keeping everything organized and tailored to our personalities. During our first consultation, Merlene explained very clearly what she could and couldn't assist with, and even offered services we hadn't even thought of. Our decorations, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, arch, pipe and drape and even day-of planning were all taken care of by Merlene.

    When we lost our catering manager a month before the wedding and when we got reassigned a new entertainment consultant, Merlene was there to support us and keep us on track. She also coordinated very well with vendors with strong personalities. Everything happened on time and was flawless, even when the inevitable (rain in Miami) happened and the ceremony setup had to be moved inside 15 minutes before the wedding.

    Merlene helped make our dream wedding happen and we couldn't thank her enough.

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Makinie & Brandon,
    Thank you for your kind words. We believe in putting our clients first, with strong support, experience and operating in the spirit of excellence. Your's and Brandon's happiness was our priority and we would not have allowed mother nature to spoil it for you. :-) Thank you for bringing us on board. We wish you all the best.

    Amazing!!!!

    Wow! Merlene (MEI Floral Designs) truly went above and beyond. MEI came recommended through another friend who also loved their experience from their wedding. They mentioned MEI to me months before, but I forgot to check them out. Then I ended up on Wedding Wire, doing my own search for florist who were not too costly and came highly recommended. I emailed and met with Merlene and fell it love. I felt like she understood my vision and knew ways to make it all work, without breaking the bank. I reached back out to my friends from a few months back, to let them know I decided to go with the same florist they used, and I'm so happy I did! Merlene/MEI Florals is truly the best. I loved my chuppah, ballroom, bouquets, everything!!! She was easy to communicate with and always seemed available.

    If you are looking for a florist that truly wants you to love your day, will work with your budget, and has great ideas to make your vision even better, then immediately message MEI and hire them for your event. You will NOT be disappointed.

    M.E.I. Floral Designers & Event Planners's reply:

    Gena and Robert it was our pleasure to bring to life your vision, we appreciate your kind words. Your wedding was truly stunning and elegant. All the best to you both on this your new journey, from the MEI team.

    Easy to talk with delivered as promised

    I was impressed with the decorations and the attention to detail. Merlene delivered as promised and even more. I have already recommended her to one my friends. At the church, though simple but elegant, was beautifully decorated and when we arrived at the reception it was transformed into an elegant affair. Thank you once again Merlene. Job well done. You made our daughters day perfect and complete.

    Definitely recommended!

    Merlene was extremely helpful, responsive, timely, and professional. The quality of the flowers was great and I was very satisfied and even impressed. She really listened to my requests and preferences. She also helped when I was not exactly sure what I wanted. I definitely recommend her services. Thanks, Merlene!

    Amazing to work with. I am from Kansas and I flew in to do my wedding and I did not see my flowers until the day of the wedding. I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers, the thing that was most impressive was the response time when I had my questions.
