    Simple yet beautiful!

    Debby was such a joy to work with. She was able to turn our vision into reality with just a few weeks to work with (even when she injured her foot a few days before our big day, she pushed through and delivered!). Being on the other side of the world, we thought it would be a challenge to communicate however Debby was always responsive to all the questions we had. She provided advice on what would work best and fit within the budget. When we finally met up with Debby, it was an instant click and it felt like we had known her forever. Thanks again Debby (and team), you are a superstar and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Diane & Micheal,

    Thank you for your heartwarming words and the pleasure has also been mine to be part of your beautiful day. Part of our job is also to make our clients feel comfortable at a distance and instill the trust that they can relax and allow us to present them with a memorable day. The feeling of comfort and ease was definitely mutual after meeting you and Micheal.

    Thank you so much again for your trust. I wish you both lots of happiness. Big Hug,

    Debby and Team October Butterfly

    Truly amazing! Exceeded our expectations

    Every aspect of October Butterfly's design for our wedding was impeccable! Debby put so much energy into our wedding and we never had to worry at all. The designs were amazing... from the Pride color themed lilies to the laser cut wood name tags for the place settings, everything was absolutely gorgeous. We could not have asked for anything more, and we are so thankful to have had October Butterfly design our event. She is an active listener and went above and beyond to make our day so special. She even incorporated our 3 fur babies into the decorations!

    Aside from designs, working with Debby is an absolute delight. She is very responsive, very creative, and extremely thoughtful. It felt like we were working with a friend. Thank you so very much, Debby!

    Dear Matt & James,

    I am all smiles this morning..after reading this. But I have been this way since we first had our video call and I finally met the two of you face to face. Matt and James, you have been truly inspiring to me. You are one of the most caring, patient, laid back and FUN couples I have had the honor to work for. The most satisfying feeling for a decorator is to work under such relaxing conditions, with zero stress and to be able to have fun ourselves while doing so. Thank you for trusting us, thank you for your kind words and your awesome review. Thank you so much for being such a cool couple and my new friends. You are my two new dushies! Big Hug from me and our team. Debby -October Butterfly

    The most magical day

    Debby with October Butterfly was a dream to work with. I was pretty laidback on what I wanted for decore, but sent a few ideas over and she made every little detail come true. There wasn't a single thing I would change. She was extremely responsive for any questions I had and made sure we were happy with everything. We were the first couple to have a ceremony at our venue's location and Debby went above and beyond to work with them and let us have our dream wedding day. I would 100% recommend Debby and would work with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Debby!

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Calryn,

    Thank you so much for your beautiful words and wonderful review. I love it when my clients are so laid back. It allows us to be creative, allows us to "do our thing" so we can offer the best of what you deserve. Thank you so much trusting us and your recommendation. Bug Hug. Debby and Team October Butterfly

    A great experience with Octoberbutterfly

    Debby from Octoberbutterfly did a wonderful job with our wedding decor. At the last minute (the morning of the wedding!) we had to change venues due to weather circumstances. Despite the new venue being complete different Debby managed to execute a beautiful decor in very little time. Octoberbutterfly is very creative, listens to the wishes of their clients and is very responsive. Thanks again for a beautiful decor!

    The best wedding decorator on the island!

    We were very happy with October Butterfly and their professionalism. Debby went above and beyond to make sure that everything looked flawless on our wedding day. She even went the extra mile to collaborate with our vendor of the wedding cake to make sure that the decoration looked perfect on our special day. Thank you Debby & October Butterfly team for making our dream wedding come true!

    My wedding went perfect with October Butterfly

    Debby quickly answered all the times I reached out to her. She helped me in finding and providing everything I wanted to have in my decorations. She really was preoccupied in attending my expectations, and giving alternatives when necessary.
    Everything was perfect in my big day =D

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Barbara & Otavio,

    My team and I are happy to have been able to make this day so special for you. Thank you so much for choosing us and for being such a wonderful, thankful and caring couple. Big hugs to both of you, -Debby, October Butterfly

    Couldn’t have dreamed of a better day

    I was really nervous to attempt plan a destination vow renewal ceremony off resort. Thankfully I found Debby & October Butterfly. She took care of everything. She found the location, created & arranged all of the beautiful decorations, ordered a cake and picked up sparkling wine for us. She even created a special bouquet for me with a unique keepsake and cake topper. Everything was so beautiful. She exceeded our expectations. Our special day was perfect because of her.

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Lakietta,

    Thank you for your very kind words. We are very keen on intimate weddings and celebrations as we love the attention to detail and are grateful for your appreciation for what we provided. The pleasure working with you was all mine and being able to see your vow renewal up close was very special. It adds the final touch to the decor, seeing that unity take place again. Thank you for you and your beautiful family. Warmest wishes, -Debby, October Butterfly

    Best decor ever!

    We contacted Debbie because we saw pictures of her decor for another wedding and loved it. She responded very quickly to our email and we set up a meeting. From the first meeting she advised us on the best decor for our location. She thinks of creative alternatives when things cannot be done the way you wish. Debbie is very sweet, creative, professional and works really hard to make your wedding location as pretty as can be. She is devoted and you really can tell she loves the work she does. Our guests and us were really amazed about the way she turned our wedding location in such a romantic venue!

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Maria and Emanuel. Thank you so much for choosing us as your decorator and for writing this beautiful review about us. Working for you has been such a pleasure. As I respond in all my reviews, what makes my job so great is having such wonderful couples to work with and I truly mean this. Thank you as well for all your patience on getting the best options for you guys and for being such a caring couple. Big hugs and all the best in the future. Debby and Team October Butterfly.

    Debby managed to make our dreams reality

    We cannot be happier with our decision to go with October Butterfly. Debby really listened to what we had to say and managed to do everything as we wanted down to the last details. She was able to achieve the theme that we wanted, she made our wedding perfect and managed to make our dreams reality. Debby, we can't thank you enough for helping us to make our wedding a perfect day. Flamur & Silvana

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Exceeded Hopes and Expectation

    Debby and October Butterfly exceeded our hopes and expectations for my daughter's beach wedding in Curacao from start to finish. I found it stressful planning a wedding in a far-away place with people I didn't have any personal knowledge of but I quickly felt we were in very good hands with Debby. She always replied to my emails promptly and thoroughly, which can't be said for everyone we worked with. When I mentioned to her my frustration with one of the vendors who was not replying to my email questions, she stepped right up and became an unofficial intermediary for me with that vendor. After giving her a few ideas of colors my daughter liked and some decorating requests (shells, wind chimes, etc.) I told her that I trusted her and left the details in her hands. When we met as she was setting up for the wedding ceremony it was like seeing an old friend, and I realized that my trust in her taste and feel for what we wanted was well founded. The ceremony site was just lovely. Moving to the site of the wedding reception we were simply blown away by everything. The dinner table for 22 was absolutely lush with beautiful flowers and full of beachy items, with the colors my daughter wanted in full display. Everything about our whole area on the beach was just perfect. I recommend Debby and October Butterfly without reservation, and remain grateful to her making my daughter's wedding so beautiful and memorable!

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Mary Jane,

    I am very grateful and humbled by your words. Me meeting you was as heartwarming as you describe here. The pleasure has also been mine working with you; half the job is in having a wonderful connection with your customers, through good communication and trust. Thank you, thank you Mary Jane, from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to make Erin and Blake's wedding special! Warmest regards and a big hug, Debby and team October Butterfly

    Just perfect!

    We are more than satisfied with the service of October Butterfly. Debby has a good eye for details, is willing to go the extra mile and is very responsive. Even planning from a distance (we live in the Netherlands) went smooth. Debby takes the time to get to know you, your taste, your feelings.. which makes it possible for her to create just what you want. For a future event we will not hesitate to work with October Butterfly. They are simply the best at their job and in our eyes much more than just a decorator.

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Marhainska and Igon,

    Great Experience

    Debby and her Team were absolutely amazing. From the moment we started chatting she was very knowledgeable and guided me through the process of making arrangements for decor at Avila beach hotel. She knew what to ask and suggest, was professional and a great communicator. The decor was perfect and I am so grateful we chose October Butterfly for our destination Vow renewal decor.

    October Butterfly's reply:

    Dear Kim,

    It was my pleasure as well working with you and being able to offer you such a beautiful decor for your Vow Renewal. Thank you for trusting in me and my team and allowing us to be part of your memorable day. Big hug, Debby and Team October Butterfly
