Brought Vision to Life

Brandon just got us. After briefly explaining our style and sending inspiration pictures to him during a call, he immediately sketched out various options at different price points for us. He was personable and easy to work with. Most importantly, he didn’t disappoint! The flowers were truly our vision brought to life.

Gary and his team was amazing to work with! My venue looked stunning, and it was nice to work with someone who was familiar with Oheka Castle. Through the process Gary was extremely informative and helpful. He was able to aid in me in narrowing down my conceptual vision and the outcome couldn't have been better!! For all those brides who are on "idea overload" please give James Cress a call! I can not thank them enough for their guidance through this process, and all the compliments I got after the wedding!
