Elegant Events Florists paid such incredible attention to detail and executed my vision perfectly. From the first consultation, I felt really heard and listened to. Every time I wanted to make even a small adjustment, they were available to make any change. They took excellent creative minds to the mood board I made and from there really just made it perfect. The pictures really speak for themselves. I can't thank you and your entire team enough for such a perfect day!! We will be talking about it for many years to come.Posted on Google![]()

As a wedding planner, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many vendors, and I can confidently say that Sheila' Team at Elegant Events is truly exceptional. I recently collaborated with them on a wedding, and every detail was absolutely stunning. Their creativity, professionalism, and eye for design made the entire process seamless. They were responsive, accommodating, and brought the couple’s floral vision to life beyond expectations. The flowers were fresh, artfully arranged, and perfectly timed for the big day. I highly recommend Elegant Events Team to anyone looking for breathtaking florals and a vendor who truly cares about the outcome of your event. I can’t wait to work together again on future weddings!Posted on Google![]()

Sheila and Melissa were great to work with. I LOVE flowers and knew I wanted a lot of florals for my wedding. I also do not really know the different types of flowers, I just knew I wanted a lot of them. I didn’t really have a vision, but met with Sheila and explained what I liked and what I didn’t like, and she ran with it. She had great examples and suggestions to help narrow down what I was looking for. My bouquet, and centerpieces came out amazing, and I wish I could have kept them forever. The preview worked out well, so I could tweak some things and get a better idea of what things would look like. I was so happy with how things turned out on our wedding day, thank you to you and your team!Posted on Google![]()

Sheila and Melissa were amazing. We met with Melissa at the office and she was extremely thorough in understanding our vision for florals and design. From there, both she and Sheila traveled 3 hours to our venue to walk the grounds and understand the scope of work. Melissa joined several virutal meetings thereafter to ensure every detail was perfect. The delivery, implementation and overall astethic of the florals and design was amazing. I absolutely loved my jewel tone flowers and couldn't have asked for a more seamless experience. Great work by all 10/10!Posted on Google![]()

We found a florist on the latter side. Flowers in general are expensive for weddings but it is reassuring when you the quality is worth it! Elegant Events met with us several times to ensure that our vision came to life! I highly recommend them for your special day!

We are so happy with the flowers and decor from Elegant Events Florist. We worked with Melissa and Sheila and they did a fantastic job listening to our needs, helping us meet our budget constraints by exploring different flower/draping options on our mandap. When we wanted to change decor options, they jumped on the phone with us to understand
