" I cannot recommend Carissa and the team enough if you’re looking to host an event. Carissa was our incredible one-stop shop for almost everything related to our wedding – from ceremony and reception styling, florals, set-up, event progression, organization and contingencies. She is flexible, quick, understanding and dealt with changes
" I cannot recommend Carissa and the team enough if you’re looking to host an event. Carissa was our incredible one-stop shop for almost everything related to our wedding – from ceremony and reception styling, florals, set-up, event progression, organization and contingencies. She is flexible, quick, understanding and dealt with changes and updates with grace and professionalism. No request or idea was too big or silly to ask. Planning a wedding generally comes with stress, planning a wedding during a pandemic with guests from almost all states was a huge challenge. Carissa made the whole experience so much calmer and we will never forget the support, care and work she put into our very long wedding day. It'll be a memory we hold dear for the rest of our lives and she made it happen."-Louise and Michael -28 Feb 2021

"They were amazing for my wedding day! They provided the flowers, table styling and even provided bits and pieces for us to use on the day that we didn't have. They were super friendly, flexible and talented. 100% recommend them!"

"Ours was a small inexpensive family wedding that was made to feel like a million dollars thanks to the wonderful and amazing set up by Carissa and her team. Nothing was a bother and we didn’t have to ask twice for anything. The set up of the chairs, arbour and signing table were perfectly oriented for our location on Lake Burley Griffi
