Deborah and her team at A Gala Affair did a beautiful job for our wedding. Deborah is a true botanist and knew every flower we could imagine and what would be in season for our date. She also had beautiful vessels for us to choose from and priced things out clearly in advance. She was very helpful working within our budget and making sure we ordered everything on time to get it for the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the flowers, and she really understood the whimsical vibe we wanted. The bridal bouquet in particular was breathtaking. I felt like a real fairy! I’m so grateful to the Gala Affair team for everything they did to make our day special. Also, I definitely recommend doing the flower cart add on. Our guests really loved being able to take smaller bouquets home rather than a few giant centerpieces.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about A Gala Affair and their incredible team! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make my wedding floral dreams come true. We met and had phone calls multiple times before the big day, and they created a fantastic proposal that was beautifully detailed.

At first, I envisioned all-white flowers and greenery, but I later decided on a vibrant summer floral theme. They embraced my change of heart effortlessly and brought my vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the florals, with many saying they were the best they had ever seen!

The A Gala Affair team was amazing as well, setting up everything perfectly before the ceremony and wedding. They even moved arrangements to the reception so that every moment felt fresh and gorgeous. The attention to detail was impeccable—there were flowers everywhere! From cocktail trays to the cake, every corner was beautifully adorned.

Thank you, A Gala Affair, for making my wedding day unforgettable and filled with stunning blooms! 🌸🌿

There truly are not words to express how amazing A Gala Affair is. Deb and her team are brilliantly talented, creative, hard working, empathetic… the list goes on. Going into wedding planning, I was most excited about choosing the florals and knew I wanted them to be the focal point of our day’s decor/aesthetic. My expectations were sky high. Our caterer recommended a list of folks, and when I saw Deb’s website I loved the variety in the types of arrangements she creates. We had our first phone consultation, and her attention to detail and thoughtful questions sold me. Deb and I worked closely together over my year and a half long engagement to perfect my vision. I was admittedly a type A perfectionist bride, and the only person more dedicated to my wedding florals than me was Deb. She created multiple detailed proposals for me and adapted as my preferences changed over 18 months. By the time the wedding came, I was confident that she and her team were going to execute my vision perfectly. And not only did they nail it, they went above and beyond what I could have possibly imagined. I will never forget the moment I walked into our venue for the first time and saw it all set up - it literally brought me to tears! Everything from the table centerpieces, to our hanging tent installation, to the bouquets were better than all of my inspiration photos on Pinterest. Deb truly executed my vision perfectly, and she was able to do so because of the countless hours she spent working to get to know me, my taste, and my dreams for the day. She even became good friends with my mom, which is just a testament to how much she truly cares for her brides! A Gala Affair was by far the best vendor decision of our entire wedding. Deb’s talent and artistry is one of a kind, and I will always remember how amazing she was to work with.

Deb and her team are so much more than florists, they really take time and effort to create an entire event. With less than 2 months lead time, A Gala Affair managed to put together the romantic vibe I was looking for. Jill made wonderful suggestions that I would not have considered myself but they turned out to really make our wedding extra special and memorable. They also worked with me to transfer bouquets from the ceremony to the reception to keep the costs reasonable. On the day of the wedding, Deb and her team worked tirelessly to ensure a perfect execution of our vision, including an impeccable breakdown of everything after the wedding was over.I highly recommend A Gala Affair for an exceptional wedding or event, they are true professionals.

Deb and her staff are absolutely amazing! From the first meeting, to the day of, everything was fantastic. Great communication on top of the most beautiful flowers. My wife was very picky/detailed on how she wanted our centerpieces and Deb made her feel completely at ease with her capability to make sure her vision became reality. We will use Deb and continue to recommend Deb to all our family, friends, and anyone who will listen. Every detail was so perfect. We had so many compliments from our guests about how all the little floral touches throughout the castle made it that much more beautiful. Deb is simply the BEST!

Deb and her team are absolutely incredible! My expectations were high and they exceeded them beyond what I imagined. I was nervous about choosing florals because I did not know much going into the process, besides having a general vision and Pinterest photos of what I liked--Deb took my ideas and turned them into something magical. Not only were the florals stunning, the A Gala Affair team went above and beyond the day of the wedding, adding leftover florals to every area of the venue, moving (and re-designing) the florals from the ceremony to reception space, and organizing/taking everything at the end of the night. The team not only creates stunning floral arrangements, they have an incredible eye for design and knew exactly how to bring everything together to create a beautiful space. Deb was lovely to work with and truly captured my vision. I cannot recommend A Gala Affair enough!

What can I say, Deb and her girls did an AMAZING job for my wedding. I gave Deb some of my ideas and let her do her thing and boy am I happy I did. It came out better then I could have imagined. I had so many compliments from the guest at my wedding. If I had to do it all over again I would have her change a thing!
