Angelic Affairs

ted and stressed for almost 2 years were the flexed flowers. I wanted white flowers and they were so cream they looked almost yellow— against my dress definitely yellow. The mom’s corsages were supposed to be gold bracelets with silk flowers and they were fake flowers from like Michaels craft store glued on (they fell apart before we even left the house and they were so beyond tacky I didn’t want them in my photos). I got married in July, and was even Asked about having the bridesmaids be sure to collect the vases for the bouquets (standard practice) but to my surprise all 9 bridesmaid bouquets showed up in a single Home Depot paint bucket and then we’re left on the counter at 1:30pm for my 6pm wedding — needless to say they were all dying before we even got to the venue (but of course I was told this was my fault). The arrangements were 1/4 the size of what was talked about or even rendered. My jaw hit the ground when I saw them. I was fuming. I spent almost 2 years following up, confirming, the renderings looked amazing! And so I was stunned. The best part was the completely EMPTY sweetheart table. But again, told this was my fault since the bridesmaids put their bouquets on a table (that the vendor watched them do apparently and didn’t say hey ladies I need those or let me take those!). My bouquet was fine, again looked nothing like the images. I wanted the SAME flexed rose in all of my bouquets and arrangements and like I said paid and didn’t get them. My MOH bouquet was more $ but didn’t look any different (they claim it was so again, we spent 20 min trying to decipher so must be our fault). I paid over $500 in vases???? And didn’t get to keep any of them???? I wanted mixed height pillar candles and got the same tiny voltive candles for the same price. All in all the flowers were my least favorite part of my wedding (and it’s not the cheapest!) luckily my venue was so beautiful and stands on its own but my blood boils whenever I look at the photos or think about the flowers. When I reached out to express my thoughts, I was sent the most unprofessional response and that essentially most of it was my fault. I receive feedback and criticism at my own job, and I wanted to help them with future bookings but not being able to have a conversation or take any ownership especially in such an expensive industry is sad. I wish I could attach the photos that shows the clear distinction between what was in the contract vs what we got, which I did send over. All in all would not recommend.

agical experience of our lifetime. She is kind, genuine, communicative, and takes every measure to really understand what you're looking for on your special day... and then makes it a reality! I cannot recommend Angelic Affairs highly enough. She is the BEST in the biz and makes wedding dreams come true : )

l arrangements for our ceremony and reception. My husband and I had no idea what flowers to choose, and we weren't sure exactly what we wanted in terms of design, so Kelly made a beautiful drawing of what our arch would be, and it was amazing. The actual results were exactly like the drawing, but so much better. Overall we are so happy with her work!

She was amazing to work with and had great ideas for the little details I never would have thought of. She communicated with all of my vendors and kept me in the loop, adapting to any changes that arose during the process. When there was a problem, she always had a great solution. Her eye for flowers and decorating is so elegant and she created my exact vision for my wedding day! Kelly is super responsive and made every part of my wedding day punctual and perfect so my husband and I could enjoy every second.

g coordination capabilities were extremely lacking, and it was her extremely unprofessional and sub-par performance in her coordination skills that made our wedding extremely stressful and difficult. I will highlight a few details below, but overall my husband and I want to emphasize that Kelly is unfortunately NOT a hire we recommend you make for your wedding; our experience with her was so stressful and negative, and we both agree that it was important to us to share this information so that future couples do not have the same experience we did. Primarily, our negative experience reflects Kelly's incompetence and unfamiliarity with our timeline, which she was supposed to be actively managing. She did not know our ceremony processional details, though we had shared it in detail with her, and called my husband by the wrong name. Her lack of presence / proactivity throughout the weekend highlighted her inability to complete her duties as weekend coordinator. She was not there for problem-solving weather alternatives when our weather took a turn for the worst on the day of our wedding. She was not action oriented: we had to constantly hunt her down to ask her to help address issues, communicate with vendors, etc. She sent multiple versions of a new timeline, for no reason, between 1 – 2 AM the night before our wedding, and changed a number of key logistics that went against what we had clearly aligned on previously. Neither us nor our many vendors would realistically have an opportunity to review this during our wedding day. She seemed to not understand or realize that she should be managing vendors in real time. On the day of the wedding, she was nowhere to be found pre-ceremony. She did not set up ceremony chairs, reserved signs, or programs, and she did not coordinate putting our vows in the officiant's binder; these important details were left to our close family and friends. She did not coordinate photos, band, DJ, speeches, or dances to ensure they occurred on time. In fact, she had already left the wedding when I noticed lights needed to be turned down (before 10 PM). We had to manage her actively and ask specific questions to make sure she had actually done her job. The above is unfortunately not even a fully comprehensive list of the ways in which Kelly Teves at Angelic Affairs absolutely did not execute her duties as outlined in her contract. I am shocked by her incompetence; her lack of action or problem-solving; her stunning lack of presence throughout the weekend; her inability or unwillingness to manage the weekend, which is what we hired her to do. My husband and I felt completely unsupported and on our own; we would have been better off without a coordinator. We were extremely stressed and became our own last-minute coordinators, delegating to our fantastic friends, families, and other vendors who stepped up to handle what needed to be handled. I cannot emphasize this enough: Kelly did not do her job. Do not hire her. She seemed way over her head, disinterested or incapable of doing her duties, and ultimately added a lot of negativity to what was otherwise a totally beautiful weekend.

her for our backyard wedding in August and she went above and beyond expectations. We hired Kelly as our partial wedding planner but she also did our stationery, flowers, decorations, EVERYTHING. She is so amazing I cannot even being to describe how much we appreciated everything she did for us. She was there for us every step of the way from the very beginning. Kelly kept us calm, cool and collected at all times which is so important when you're planning a wedding. Also, her mom is very involved and is the sweetest woman ever. I could go on for days but just trust me, you need her. We plan on using them for other events in the future and have already recommended them to multiple friends. You will not regret hiring Angelic Affairs...they are absolutely worth every penny and more. So much love for her!!!

ight things, listened to me and took everything I said into consideration. The end product of my flowers and decor was everything I wanted and more. I could see the love and care that was put into everything and it took my breath away. Kelly Teves I have your number and we will be in touch for future events for sure. Thank you for everything!

r to which put our minds at ease and allowed us to envision our big day. During the event itself everything was taken care of as promised and then some. We even had a last minute addition to the groomsman and Kelly was able to whip up a boutonniere on the spot. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to provide flowers and decorations for our one special day. Thank you Kelly!

ontract with her. I totally forgot to send her the dinner menu before the wedding, she took care of that by contacting the venue by herself and saved me lots of effort! More importantly, she provided same quality flower with cheaper price. She also decorated my wedding cake with free flowers and rearranged ceremony flowers to the head table. It’s such a wise decision to hire Kelly !

the ceremony. With her local knowledge, she was able to recommend some amazing spots for us to stay while in the Azores and communicated directly with the local vendors for our wedding day. Kelly kept in regular communication with us before we left Canada and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She met us in Sao Miguel before the wedding to go over last minute details. Kelly made sure she took care of all the little details so I wouldn't have to. On the day of the ceremony, we were relaxed knowing all we needed to do was show up. The floral arrangements, bouquet and boutonniere were just stunning. The floral chandelier that Kelly made along with her partner blew us away. The picnic lunch was so special and the dinner setting gorgeous. Kelly absolutely nailed our vision and feel of the wedding day. It was such a special day for us. I would highly recommend the services of Destination Azores.

ng, DIY-ing, etc. HOWEVER, I knew a day-of coordinator was an ABSOLUTE MUST. I wanted zero stress on the day, actually, the week of the wedding. From the very first meeting with Kelly (way before the big day) she kept me on track and eased my anxieties. We brainstormed together & went through every detail – from the general wedding theme down to an extremely detailed timeline (down to the minute)! My confidence in Kelly helped keep me calm and allowed me to enjoy the amazing moments that quickly pass! As our florist, Kelly perfectly executed my vision, & when I say perfectly … I mean ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY PERFECT. My theme was vintage wine by the sea … and BOY did she make that come to life. She was able to incorporate some materials I had crafted/purchased and really tied EVERYTHING together. I cannot express my gratitude for all that Kelly did to ensure our wedding was a huge success – she is the BEST.

e does. She listens so well, and is able to use her creative eye to make your vision come to life, particularly if your vision is a little offbeat like our 1920s/Downtown Abbey theme was. We hired her for day-of services, and, after checking out her portfolio, for floral services as well. She went above and beyond on both. Kelly is able to work within your budget, and is honest and open with communication. She responds promptly, is flexible, and dedicated. She clearly loves what she does  We couldn’t have gotten through the day without her! Her floral arrangements were gorgeous and exactly what I had in mind. I couldn’t recommend Kelly and her team at Angelic Affairs enough.

ers to 2 different places for us on our wedding day and then also decorated both the ceremony area and the gifts table with extra flowers and petals even though that was not explicitly stated in our contract. Everything looked great! I was so impressed by our bouquets and boutineirres! They even came in nice vases with cute labels on them to let us know which flowers were for whom. Kelly also stayed for quite a while after delivering the flowers to make sure that everything was all set. I don't believe the cake was set up yet when she arrived to decorate it at the wedding venue, but she stayed until that was ready and then did a great job making it look very nice. I would definitely recommend Angelic Affairs! They are great service for a great price!
