Our talented floral designer, Shannon Carter, who has extensive design experience, will be part of the team creating your floral vision. After obtaining your menu, bar, and venue choices, we will provide a preliminary cost estimate for your review. Once menu selections are narrowed down, we can schedule a food and cake tasting meeting with our Executive Chef, Joe Rodriguez. Additionally, after receiving your floral preferences, we will provide a complete floral design proposal.
