It was my venue event planner that recommended Gala Affair for my florist and I am so thankful I reached out. Deb and her team transformed the venue into a Fabulous Autumn retreat that was breathtaking. The ceremony room and the ballroom were Gorgeous. My daughter provided her vision to Deb and Jill and they ran with it. They are much more than florists and assisted us on so many design decisions. Their attention to every detail was impressive including using cigar boxes with florals for cocktail tables after finding out we were providing cigars at the wedding. The team worked quickly and professionally and were all smiles. It was a true pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend them for any event.

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.

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! 🌸🌿

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!

A Magical French Garden Reception! Oui! Oui!
There are no words to describe how AMAZING Deb and her team are. They are so professional, creative & caring. The bridal bouquets, the table centerpieces and all the beautiful flower decor/draping at the reception were "out of this world" gorgeous! The best part was the "Take Away Bouquet" Flower Bar. Deb and her team deconstructed the flower centerpieces at the end of the reception and prepared HUGE bouquets at their adorable Paris style "Flower Bar" station for my guests to take home. It was such a lovely surprise gift to send our guests home with! We had been told by everyone that the flowers (and smiles) lasted almost 2 weeks after the wedding! Deb brought our Versailles inspired French Garden Wedding Reception fantasy to life & we will forever be grateful!! It was the best day ever! Thank you Deb & Team at A Gala Affair!!

Deb & the team literally MADE our wedding. They were so easy to work with, were so organized and quick to respond. Truly, they went above & beyond and THEN SOME. We received endless compliments and comments on the flowers at our wedding. I will never be over it!!! These are the people you want at your wedding and they were well worth the money!

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!

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.

I do not even know where to begin to praise Deb and her team for the gorgeous florals they provided for my wedding. I had multiple extensive phone conversations with Deb going over every detail of my day. She made my vision come to life even better than imagined. Her work ethic is impeccable, committed to going above and beyond for her clients. I loved working with her so much! She really knows her industry, offering beautiful suggestions and making the process smooth. I loved my bouquet that I found an artist to press it and cannot wait to have it hung up in my house to always remember this special day. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I am SOOOO happy I had Deborah and her amazing team for my wedding in June. I honestly don’t even know where to begin to fully article how truly thankful I am for the amount of love and passion that Deborah put in to make our day the absolute best! Not only is she the kindest, most caring and empathetic person but she is so incredibly talented. From our very first meeting she put me at such ease. She completely brought my vision board of my wedding florals and design to life and captured EXACTLY what I wanted. Everything was absolutely perfect and exceeded any expectations/wants I had!! She truly went above and beyond! I cannot recommend her and her team enough and I feel so blessed to have had her as a vendor and also as such a caring person in my life through all the stresses of wedding planning!!

Deborah and her team were amazing for my June Wedding at Harkness State Park! She was incredibly thorough and made sure every possible surface/mantle/alcove was beautifully decorated and nothing looked bare or forgotten about. The flowers/greenery themselves were absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted. Deborah was very easy to communicate with and responsive. We wanted to incorporate candles into the decor and the floating candles she used were above and beyond what I could have imagined. Every aspect exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend using them for a wedding or other event.

Deb was so amazing throughout the whole floral process for my June wedding. We immediately hit it off on a personal level, and Deb was so helpful and quick to respond to all of my questions over the 1 year+ of planning. She revised the quote many times in order to make it perfect and truly made my vision come to life. I still have guests telling me how our flowers were some of the most beautiful they’ve ever seen! I highly recommend A Gala Affair.

Highly recommend Deborah and the whole team with A Gala Affair! I planned my whole wedding as a PICU night shift nurse during COVID all the way from Maryland- and the flowers were a huge priority for me. It was definitely terrifying to trust someone so far away (especially being such a type A person), but working with A Gala Affair from afar was amazing. They totally understood my vision and was extremely responsive to my millions of questions and changes, especially the two weeks leading up to the wedding. My flowers ended up being absolutely breathtaking and my guests still can't stop talking about how beautiful the event was. Deborah even surprised me with a preserved gardenia in my bouquet to honor my late Nana which I was able to keep after the wedding (her favorite flower)- this alone should show you how amazing this vendor is! The bouquets, arrangements and extra flowers throughout my venue were more than I could have ever expected! I could not be more grateful for the amazing service, wonderful staff, and stunning flowers and decor they put together for us. Thank you Deb and A Gala Affair for the best day of my life!

I can not even begin to express how AMAZING Deborah and her team were! I met Deborah 2 years before my wedding and knew that her and her team were the one for us right off the bat. She was just as excited as I was to bring my vision to life! I can not even begin to put in to words how STUNNING the decor was! I had a vision but A Gala Affair took my dream and made it better than anything I could have ever dreamt of. I can not put in to words how impressed I was and how happy I am that A Gala Affair was my florist on my big day.

If you are considering using A Gala Affair for your wedding, do not hesitate. Hire them immediately! Deb and her team were wonderful from start to finish. Deb takes the time to gather your ideas, reviews your vision, involves you along the way, makes changes as necessary, gives invaluable guidance reflecting on her experience all resulting in a magnificent finished product. She takes pride in her work and is invested to
ensure everything turns out just perfectly. My daughter's wedding reception was in a tent which required many different areas of flower decor along with the need for flower decorations in the ceremony area (arbor). Guests couldn't stop complimenting the flowers and it all exceeded expectations.

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!

Deborah was great to work with - two months before our wedding date we decided to actually have a small reception and we were under the gun to get everything organized. We had a different florist for the church ceremony and Deborah coordinated with Leah (It’s So Ranunculus) to make sure the florals matched. Even when things were overwhelming, Deborah was calm and super-organized.
The reception at Jonathan Edwards winery was small, meaningful, and Deborah definitely helped make it possible!

Just like many women, I had been dreaming of this day for as long as I could remember and Deborah at A Gala Affair brought that vision to life flawlessly. A Gala Affair went above and beyond with every detail and truly cares that the resulting work is exactly what you want for your wedding day. She was extremely responsive, thoughtful and detail oriented. Myself and my guests are still blown away by the way her artful florals transformed my wedding venue into an elegant, chic event.
I can't speak more highly of her and can't wait for an opportunity to work together again.

Working with Deborah to pinpoint the look we wanted for our wedding flowers and venue was a fantastic experience. We knew we wanted a clean, romantic look, weren't sure of much else. Deb took our vague direction and turned it into a gorgeous reality. She was so communicative and made our venue look like a dream--so many of our friends and family reached out after the fact to tell us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they'd ever seen. This was not thanks to our clarity of vision, but Deb's. Cannot recommend "A Gala Affair" enough!

A Gala affair created the most beautiful and stunning atmosphere for our wedding day. Deb and I had worked together for over a year since we had to reschedule our wedding and she was always so positive and understanding of the situation we were in. I was truly blown away when Deb dropped off my bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets, they were so perfect and beautiful and almost an exact replica of the original inspiration photo I sent her but even better!! She completely understood the bohemian beachy chic vibe that we were going for from the start, I never had to over explain anything she just always got it! When we walked into our cocktail hour and reception venue we were absolutely stunned at how perfect everything was, the whole room smelled like fresh flowers!! Guests were coming up to us left and right telling us how beautiful everything was. We are so lucky to have found A Gala Affair and truly have the wedding of our dreams!

Planning a micro wedding, during a pandemic, short notice, was not easy but Deb took away alot of that stress! From start to finish she made things super easy. What set her apart from other florists was that her pricing is not “one size fits all”. She sent over a list of examples/prices and let us choose exactly what we wanted.
She did a beautiful job and we would definitely recommend her to anyone!

I would highly recommend A Gala Affair for any weddings or events. Deborah and her team were easy to work with, very communicative, and flexible when our ideas changed slightly or we wanted to bounce ideas around. She executed our vintage-inspired vision for our wedding without going too over-the-top with it, and kept it extremely elegant and classic. I cannot stop raving about my trailing bridal bouquet, it was something of a dream! Another stand-out moment was presenting the bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids and maid of honor in beautiful trunks. It made me tear up! They were also very helpful in working with us to use some of our ceremony bouquets as decorations in vases for the reception, to utilize the beautiful flowers as much as possible. I thank them for being so understanding in working with our budget! It was a pleasure to have her and her company be a part of our day and we cannot thank them enough.

Deborah was absolutely wonderful to work with every step of the way! She truly understood the vision that I had for the day, and she gave many wonderful ideas and suggestions that fit the style of flowers and décor that I was looking for. We went back and forth with planning and budget, and she was patient and helpful every step of the way. She also created a detailed “look book” containing each decoration and arrangement, which was incredibly helpful in the planning process. On the wedding day, all of the arrangements, including my bouquet (which was a giant rose that had to be made by hand petal by petal), came out perfectly. Deborah and her team decorated the circular arch for my ceremony, as well as outdoor arrangements, as well as the inside of the Branford House for the reception. All came out stunningly. When I walked through the reception room, I was honestly taken aback, not just by how gorgeous she had made it, but also because it looked EXACTLY like the vision we had discussed. She is extremely detail-oriented and has true talent for floral and décor. A Gala Affair did an absolutely perfect job. I highly recommend working with A Gala Affair. Deborah, I cannot thank you and your team enough!

A Bohemian Dream
Deborah from A Gala Affair took my vision of a bohemian, romantic wedding and ran with it. We were on the same page right from the start. I knew I could trust her creative vision and transform it into real life. Deb and her team of ladies made my wedding dreams come true. From the alter to the bouquet/boutonnière to the tables and everything in between, it was truly remarkable. I highly recommend that you hire her!

I couldn’t be happier with the floral that Deborah put together for my wedding! She was very easy to work with - I kept changing my preferences for floral and greenery type and she made sure that everything was perfect and just as I asked for. She provided a lot of pictures and dialogue to help guide my decisions which was very helpful for an indecisive bride! In the end, she made beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, a eucalyptus arch and drapery for my venue stairway.
I recommend her especially for weddings in Southeast CT!

Deb is AMAZING! I am one of those people who spent months researching vendors and Deb/A Gala Affair came highly recommended. She met with my fiancé and I and listened to exactly what we wanted. I was able to give her a vision (Thank You Pinterest) and a budget and she made our wedding the most beautiful day we could have ever asked for! She even had a lookbook for us to see exactly what things would look like!
She is very responsive to questions and concerns and was always quick to get back to us (something that’s very much appreciated during that stressful time!).
Deb was so helpful the day of our wedding. I had forgotten to tell her we needed flowers for my flower girls (I realized this right before I was walking down to the ceremony!). She was amazing and within what seemed like seconds had flower petals for us!
We can’t say enough about A Gala Affair! She truly helped make our day PERFECT!

To sum it up...Deb is phenomenal!
She took my "rustic yet romantic" wedding vision and made it come to life. Deb was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She provided me with multiple ideas and visions then allowed me to pick and choose exactly what I felt worked for us. Our wedding venue was gorgeous, then Deb came in and made it even more stunning. I still receive compliments to this day. I have sent many of my friends and family to Deb for their events and she never fails to amaze.
