Artful Events & Design

as thorough, responsive, and cared about us. There is no one I would trust more!! If you are planning a wedding, hire this company.

d of excellence and Kimberly was an amazing day of planner/coordinator along with Maggie. They were all well organized, confident, and enjoyable to work with. We met with several planners in town that were good before deciding to go with Naomi and Artful events, but I am so happy we decided to go with Artful Events & Designs. They have the experience and add a touch of class to all of their work which is a great combination to have in when planning a wedding. We also appreciated the fact that they stretched our dollar without compromising quality or class! Lastly, on the day of wedding they both showed up early with all the supplies and flowers and got right down to business getting everything set-up without any issues (at least none that we were aware of), because all of this was done with a great vibe and attitude from them both to ensure we were happy, not stressed, and not bothered with minor details so we could enjoy our wedding day with family and friends. We highly recommend Artful Events & Designs.~ Michael & Tori Bratsch ***Wedding at Brookview Golden Valley

and design proposals to start, but as I added more ideas down the road, Naomi was always responsive and eager to help bring our ideas to life (including multiple in person meetings so I could physically see how the design would come together!). She has such an eye for design and was one of my favorite vendors to work with! I was a very particular bride, and there was not one thing I would've changed - Naomi hit it out of the park and I'd recommend her 100000x over!!

about Naomi. From the first exploration call to seeing our vision come to life she is such a joy to work with! She was transparent throughout the process and I always knew exactly what to expect. She seamlessly brought my vision to life while also leveraging her expertise and recommendations on how to ensure the design and florals came together! Day of, Naomi was present and hand delivered my bridal bouquet which was such a nice touch. Her and her team were friendly, attentive and executed the design and floral set up seamlessly! I highly recommend leveraging Artful Events & Design for any of your wedding needs- Naomi is such a gem!

rals. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive and made us feel completely at ease and comfortable throughout the entire process. We worked with Naomi specifically for the event and floral design, and she did an AMAZING job at executing and even elevating the vision we had – we were literally blown away when we walked into our event space the day of – everything came together so beautifully and fit perfectly with the theme we were going for. Rossi helped create out timeline, communicated with our vendors, and led all of the day of coordination (along with Blair and Kim). I truly cannot imagine what the day would have been like without them there. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish – they were on top of EVERYTHING! Their ability to execute and work behind the scenes so seamlessly allowed me and my husband to fully relax, be in the moment, and enjoy the whole evening. I cannot thank this team enough for everything they did, and I would 100% recommend their services to any couple who is looking to have an outstanding event delivered by a team who goes above and beyond.

and helped with every little thing. When the wedding day came, she and Rossi had everything planned to the minute and helped with set up and take down PLUS handled our florals. The flowers her team created were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I wanted. Naomi and her team were absolutely amazing, had great communication and were all around so so helpful. We seriously could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator.

use of Naomi and her team! She was very on top of things, and went above and beyond in helping us even when we were physically in another state for the first half of the planning months! We booked her because she’s also a florist and has inventory for rentals! This helped eliminate a lot of communication between various vendors. What impressed me most was her aesthetics! If you are looking for pretty instagram level picture for your wedding, stop looking and just go with her! I guarantee you that it will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning journey:)

ur wedding day, that there was truly nothing left for us to worry about. I don’t know what we would have done without them! We also booked Naomi for our florals and I cried when I saw how she made my floral dreams come to life! Thanks a million times over to the whole team that made our day so perfect!

nd my bridesmaids. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful florist for their big day!

y itself. A special shout-out to Rossi, my lead day of coordinator. She is such a gem and so wonderful and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend working with the NAED Team.

ook both month of coordination and floral services through the same company. This was an amazing choice as it made planning so much easier to have one vendor to contact. Naomi was very thorough and responsive over email leading up to the wedding month, and Rossi (our month of coordinator) was incredibly helpful in managing several timeline changes, details, and contact with other vendors. Day of, this team went above and beyond in every way. The florals were absolutely perfect and every detail came together flawlessly. I had many family members tell me the days after the wedding how amazing Rossi was as a coordinator. We cannot thank you enough! Hire the NAED team!!

lued all feedback, tips, recommendations, expertise that came from Naomi. Rossi from Naomi's team was our day of coordinator - Rossi was amazing!!! Because of Rossi, the day ran smoothly and it was stress - free. Highly recommend this team :)

n, often times before I even asked. My venue required a day-of coordinator, and required a pre-approval process, Naomi was totally game for it and made sure to diligently follow-up so there were no hiccups. She stayed in touch with me every couple months and in the weeks leading up to the wedding we were in lock step to ensure the day went smoothly. She brought a calm energy during a stressful time and creative ideas for some of the design elements I was hoping to have her bring to life (3 large christmas trees to be exact). She saved me money as I was able to use items from her rental catalogue. On the day of the wedding it was so clear that she went above and beyond for us - she brought in extra support to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible, she helped make the space look absolutely beautiful and was clear with vendors to ensure I didn't have to make any decisions on the day-of. When our bus unexpectedly broke down, she was ready to jump into action and was just fantastic. She also ensured the reception went smoothly, never rushing us but also making sure the timing matched what we had outlined. She is someone you want by your side and I encourage any brides thinking about collaborating with Naomi to just say yes!

I did not have to worry about a thing. The venue was decorated perfectly because of them, the timeline went exactly as planned, everyone had an amazing time and was guided through the day and no one at the wedding had to worry about clean up or the gifts at the end of the night. I'm a huge planner and they handled it all way better than I could have. My husband and I recommend a day of coordinator, above all else, to everyone we talk to. We also had Naomi for our florals which were stunning and even better than my original vision. Seriously they should be the first (and will be the most important) vendors you book.

a design aspect, Naomi has such an eye for making things beautiful. We more or less gave her a feeling that we were hoping to cultivate for our day and she executed it perfectly. She helped us choose vendors that would add to that overall feeling and aesthetics, too. A super great perk is that Naomi has an inventory of things such as votives, sign frames, card boxes etc which meant we didn’t need to buy/rent those and of course they are beautiful. From a coordination standpoint, Rossi was our main coordinator and she was lovely to work with. We wanted to keep some aspects of a traditional wedding and reception but we left certain things out and Rossi made sure our evening flowed well and was cohesive. We had some last minute personnel changes at our venue and Rossi never even missed a beat and our day was perfect. From our first phone call to the actual wedding, we felt loved and like we were VIPs despite knowing how busy this team is. They helped to make the planning process fun and much less stressful. They were so communicative and would always respond in less than 24 hours and even late at night. I said it before but Ill say it agin; hiring NAE was the best decision we made in the planning process!

kept our large wedding party on track and kept us all feeling calm. If we needed anything, she was right there. The florals were also absolutely gorgeous!! We would highly recommend Naomi Anderson Events + Design!! Thank you Naomi, Sarah, and team!! ❤️❤️

September 2022. Right off the bat, Naomi came prepared to our first meeting with pictures of our venue space, suggestions for decorations, and ideas of how to execute on our vision (and we hadn't even signed a contract yet!) Her passion for weddings and florals is so apparent and leads to a high-quality outcome. Naomi was easy to get in-touch with, kept us on schedule with our action items, delivered everything right when she said she would, and made the wedding planning process fun. For the day-of, our weekend could not have been done without her. As soon as her and her team came onsite at my wedding, I instantly felt relaxed. She had everything running like a well-oiled machine. Her and her team pitched in on any task they saw that needed accomplishing. Myself, my husband and our families cannot say enough nice things about Naomi and the work that she did. Don't even get me started on the florals! Everything was delivered exactly as pictured and ran so smoothly. Naomi and her team were the second vendor we booked for our wedding. If I could do it all again, they'd be the first one we booked!

ith us. We expected her to be involved only the day-of, but instead we communicated with her throughout the whole two months. She was thorough with our wedding plan, was communicative with all of our wedding vendors, and on-time to all of our meetings. On the wedding day, my husband and I did not have to worry about anything vendor-related; she and her assistant Blair took care of it all which was such a relief. We were able to enjoy our day instead of worrying about all of the little details that a wedding entails. They also set up our flowers and arranged our tables beautifully! I would definitely recommend Naomi and her team for your wedding day!

going perfectly! Naomi did our florals and they were STUNNING!! We were absolutely amazed by our flowers and they were exactly what we discussed/planned!! We could not have been any happier with Naomi's team. They are truly the best!!

y. Day-of, Naomi made sure the day ran smoothly and took responsibility for tasks that would have been a disaster without her support. She kept our vendor teams on the same page, checked in with me often throughout planning, and organized all of our details into one amazing document. If you're looking for a day-of coordinator, Naomi is that and SO much more! We highly* recommend her and her team.

ng within their power to ensure you have the best wedding day possible. Example 1: We decided to change our entire floral plan and colors just weeks before our day. Naomi provided us with a ton of quotes and design boards until we found one that worked within our budget and was a good representation of our ideas. At the last minute, she had to connect with local flower vendors to get the colors and blooms we really wanted, and never made us feel bad about our indecisiveness, inexperience with wedding florals, or the short timeline. Example 2: Our venue didn’t allow setup to start until 12 PM and only allowed one hour for a room flip between the ceremony and dinner. Despite having to fit setup into short periods of time, Sarah and her team rocked it out so smoothly. Every note, comment, or idea we made during our meetings, put on a box, or texted was followed to a tee and matched perfectly with what we had been imagining. Keep in mind, we had roughly 100 bud vases, 60 cylinder vases with candles, charger plates, photos to be put in frames, and oh so much more to set up… and it was all done timely. Example 3: Everything that went wrong with our day was fixed by Naomi’s team. When my grandfather’s suit didn’t fit, our coordinator walked with him to pick up a new one. There were extra boutineers when the groom’s got smushed. Sarah and team made sure to come to us with solutions or took care of issues themselves, which meant we never had to stress out. Example 4: Without Naomi and her team, there’s no way we would’ve been able to keep up with our day of timeline. They helped move things along and keep everyone aware of where we needed to be and when. Example 5: Naomi and her team are so nice. While planning and on your big day you need people to calm you down, help you out, and remind you of the big picture - and they will do this. Naomi, Sarah, and team will go above and beyond to make sure that you, your wedding party, and guests are all happy. If you want to have the absolute best wedding day, BOOK Naomi and her team. If you do hire Naomi and her team, we recommend taking advantage of the rentals. Between beautiful gold vases and bud vases (which Naomi sourced just for our day), signs, frames, and so much more - we were able to save so much money. We probably would have spent nearly $1k on decor if we hadn’t taken advantage of these rentals. We’d also recommend hiring her team for an extra hour or being really aware of your night of timeline. When you literally don’t have to lift a finger or think about your wedding all morning and day, the night hits hard and will likely feel like a disaster even if it actually is going to plan. Sarah and her team got everything in boxes and in carts so it was ready to go, even reminded us of our plan, but having to do it yourself just isn’t fun. It’ll be so worth having Naomi’s team help get flowers (because there will be so many of them), gifts, decor, and people (if you’re having an after party) to where they need to go. Our day was absolutely PERFECT because of Naomi Anderson Events + Design. - Package: Wedding Day Management - All wedding florals including ceremony, reception, and personal

i was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. She helped us feel organized and at ease the entire planning process and on wedding day. Rossi and Cheri worked with us on the day of wedding helping with everything from decor to timeline to transportation and more! We can't say enough how amazing it was to enjoy the day and know that everything was being handled with so much care and attention to detail. We completely recommend NAED for everything you need!!

n and dream, they did so in only eight months during the busiest wedding year coming out of the pandemic. Naomi’s confidence helped keep us calm during the most stressful times (for example, losing our officiant just weeks before the wedding.) Her positive relationships with our vendor team were noticeable and seemed to help communication between all of us. Naomi was able to keep us on track with making decisions, which was so helpful as we live out of state and both have hectic busy schedules. The day of the wedding, she immediately got to know the bridal party and parents. She has an assertiveness about her that helped keep our large bridal party on track and at the same time has such an upbeat, happy, positive, and calming personality. Nothing seems to phase her. She’s the type of person that you just want to be around! We would highly recommend her and if we have another event to plan, she will be our first phone call!

everything was being completed on time and with the upmost attention to detail. I am the quintessential Type A bride and I was BEYOND impressed with Naomi’s organization and communication. Naomi went over and above to make sure every vendor was communicated with, had all the required timelines and that each little detail was covered and confirmed. The week of the wedding and day of both went so seamlessly, and even with a wedding party of 24 everyone knew where to go and when. I can’t say enough positive things about Naomi and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner in the Minneapolis area!! Thank you Naomi!!! 🤍🤍

ing that things were set up correctly. Her vision for our venue was also so integral to making the reception beautiful. She has a special ability to create cohesive floral art for both the wedding party and the ceremony and the reception site. I left every meeting with her feeling better, knowing that things would totally work out because she had it under control. I was constantly impressed by her attention to detail and ability to foresee potential pitfalls with the goal of avoiding them. Above all, Naomi and her team were so kind and easy to work with. I cannot understate how important this is on your big (potentially stressful, emotional) day. I felt very at ease knowing that NAED was handling everything for our big day.

nd Naomi Anderson Events to any couple.

al role in making our wedding day as perfect as it was. Her team member, Cheri, was also a joy to work with day of. Very professional and handled all the things we needed during our event and she was there to cheer us on and keep us in order. It was such a joy working with Naomi and her team! I would recommend to any of my family and friends, without a doubt!

rest ideas and turned them into a reality. Naomi is so organized and kept me on track with my planning, she was also available to answer any questions I had about color schemes, lighting options, etc. Almost everybody I talked to at the wedding raved about how gorgeous all of our floral pieces were. On the day of the event, Naomi and her team handled everything for us while we got to relax and enjoy the day with our friends and family without having to worry about decor and vendor coordinating. Our day seemed to go seamless and I have Naomi and her team to thank for that!

ts she sent were super helpful for us to organize vendors/decorations/timelines prior to the wedding. She had great insight on how a wedding timeline flows and helped us navigate everything to make our day run smoothly. She and her team also knew exactly our vision, so our wedding ceremony/reception details were a dream without any stress from us the day of. A must for your wedding! :)

o begin with, providing excellent vendor recommendations and her advice and guidance throughout rescheduling and replanning were invaluable. When our day finally came, she and her team were incredible and executed our event flawlessly. If anything didn't go to plan, we have absolutely no idea because Naomi and Sarah handled it. We felt so comfortable in their capable hands and they brought a calm and confident energy to the management of our day. Naomi also did a beautiful job with our florals, for which we gave extremely little direction. She took our vague request for greenery and white flowers and turned it into an elegant and cohesive design that beautifully matched the venue and our event's vibe. We would give more than 5 stars if we could, Naomi and team were amazing to work with from the start and we'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

ry about our gifts and clean up at the end of the night, to keeping our crazy crew on schedule, and even making sure I had a white claw in hand as I entered the reception; the team really went above and beyond! My Pinterest wedding became a reality! During the day, my husband and I caught ourselves saying multiple times, "the best thing we did for today was hire Naomi." She truly has the most professional, detail-oriented team and her communication throughout the entire planning process (and even the day of) couldn't be beat. We literally cannot say enough amazing things about Naomi and her team!

ured checklist and listening ear to help us feel prepared and confident in our planning, but they orchestrated the event from behind the scenes so my husband, family and I could just ENJOY! Please do you and your loved ones a favor and hire Naomi!! Her expertise is crucial to the most stress-free, wonderful wedding day possible!! (Plus she has a great inventory of decorations and a keen eye for venue set-up to help make your celebration not only run smoothly, but look fantastic.)

ig day, Naomi was always available to provide guidance and recommendations. She noted all the specifics of our day and made sure everything went smoothly despite a last minute switch to our indoor rain plan! For our florals and decor, Naomi took a couple pictures and a quick conversation and turned them into a beautiful design using 32 different types of flowers and over 200 individual arrangements.Naomi even created extra floral designs for the kids at the last minute which were such a nice touch! On the day of the wedding, we did not have to worry about a thing! Naomi and her team handled everything for us, and even made sure we had our drinks of choice waiting for us throughout the night. The team was so personable, excellent with our young niece and nephew, and put our parents and the wedding party at ease! We are so happy with our decision to hire Naomi! She and her team are all around great people that are spectacular at what they do!

for everything!

ry detail and was always prompt with returning emails and showing up to meetings. She kept things under control the entire day and I can’t thank her enough.

made during the wedding process! She was incredibly helpful in planning for the big day - helping answer any planning questions, coordinating our timeline, communicating between vendors, etc. On the day of the wedding, her team was so amazing helping set up all of the decor and being the point person of the day. We truly feel that everything went off perfectly and the day ran so smoothly, we have her team to thank for being there to help coordinate the details of the day! I loved planning but was definitely overwhelmed at the idea of myself or my family taking on too much responsibility for the day of. She made our lives way less stressful for the wedding, it was so great being able to sit back and just enjoy the day! The flowers the team created were absolutely stunning! They were everything I envisioned and more. She worked with me closely in planning to nail down all of the design details. She even went above and beyond to find new large vases to use in our ceremony arrangements. With us getting married in July, we anticipated not being able to get any peonies for our flowers given they were out of season. Naomi went out of her way to hunt them down for us & surprised us the night before. The entire venue was decorated so beautiful - I'm so grateful she had an amazing decor selection to choose from that was all free to use with her services! If you are getting married, you definitely need to book Naomi for all of your flower and coordination needs!!

dinator / event stylist. She communicated with our vendors prior to the wedding, created an iron-clad day-of-timeline, coordinated our wedding day (ceremony & reception), and did the most beautiful job styling our reception space at the St.Paul Hotel. If you're a bride or groom, the best advice I can give you is to book Noami and her team for wedding coordination & styling services. It will make your experience planning & your special day so much less stressful.

uired a day-of coordinator and when we started searching for one, we were extremely overwhelmed. We received Naomi’s name from a friend and called her right away. We instantly knew she was going to be the wedding coordinator for us - she was organized, calm, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely caring. Throughout our planning process, Naomi was our go-to for all of our questions (especially those related to how to handle weddings and COVID) and she always responded quickly and cheerfully. She made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with (which was far from the case). She was great at communicating with our vendors and wedding party leading up to our wedding which is a huge reason why our day went as smoothly as it did! We also hired Naomi and her team to handle our decor floral. They did an incredible job with our decor on the day of and were very generous with their time and resources. Another vendor accidentally shorted us votive candle holders - which we didn’t notice until the day of, but Naomi quickly improvised and did the best with what she had. Our space was beautiful that day/night and that’s all because of the hard work of Naomi and her team. We can honestly say - there’s no way we could have planned the wedding of our dreams without Naomi’s help! Now that our special day is over, we’ll miss communicating with her on a regular basis. We would highly recommend using Naomi and her team! You won’t regret it!

our planning was going well. A couple weeks before the wedding Naomi made a timeline and contacted all vendors. The day of me, my bridal party, and our parents didn't have to worry about a thing because Naomi and her staff took care of everything.

her and her staff to decorate and coordinate with my vendors. Literally cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you, Naomi Anderson Events!

ittle detail. I don't know how my day would've went without them. Very organized, highly recommend!!

enough

! They helped with our rehearsal walk through, setting up decor, taking down decor, setting out the desserts, and sooo much more! They put their own little touches into our day and we absolutely loved it. We’re so thankful for Naomi and her team. We didn’t have to worry one bit on our wedding day because we knew they would be taking care of everything and making sure everything went smoothly. If you’re wondering if you should hire Naomi or not, please do it!! You will not regret it! She is so wonderful!

timely on all communications and was such an incredible delight to be around. I'm so thankful we had her and her team.
