Lisa and the team at Creative Ambiance were amazing! When I first reached out, they connected back with me right away and would be prompt in all responses. CAE executed my vision perfectly for my wedding. There was nothing but compliments for how the space was transformed for the big day.
My husband and I had an awesome time thanks to Creative Ambiance planning. We worked closely and LisaMarie was thorough and knowledgeable at every turn. She thought of things that we certainly would have missed and things went on without a hitch. Our wedding went smoothly and anything was handled without us knowing! The team also handled our florals and decoration. We have some great photos in our cuddle bench and the flower covered champagne wall was so amazing. I think the guests are still talking about it! I will miss our planning sessions and frankly would love to do it all over again!
I booked Creative Ambiance to decorate my very industrial wedding venue. I was looking to soften it up a bit and to say that they went above and beyond would be an understatement.
LisaMarie and her husband so easy to communicate with and eager to make sure the venue was exactly how I pictured it.
I would book them again and again!
Working with LisaMarie was difficult throughout. The flowers and decorations she provided were fine, but she was difficult to communicate with and underwhelmed us, including not providing the keepsake corsages for our mothers. Furthermore, she told us that we owed her money and that she would not be fulfilling the terms of the contract, which state that upon failure to provide a service, she would refund a pro-rated amount and release us from any further payment. When I quoted the contract in response to her request for an additional convenience fee on top of the credit card fee I paid, she told came up with new reasons to not provide the items or issue a refund.
From everything I’ve heard, this was a particularly busy wedding season and we planned our wedding relatively quickly and tried to keep the budget small, so some of my experience might have been due to these factors, but even given these facts, I would not recommend this vendor.
I received an email the day after the wedding asking us to leave a review. Since I was disappointed that the corsages for our mothers were not what we had agreed upon, I sent an email on 10/19 to discuss this and other issues. I received a response that same day in which LisaMarie told me that she knew in advance that the corsages were incorrect. Several of her other responses made me question the notes she had taken during our paid consultation. She did apologize about the corsages, and she offered to make and send them to our mothers.
On 11/17, I emailed back because neither of our mothers had received the corsages. In her reply, she said a shipment with the silk flowers was delayed and hence they had not been able to complete the corsages and she also introduced her claim that I did not pay a 4% “convenience fee” for paying by credit card. I clarified that I did pay a 4% credit card fee and she again said I did not pay her convenience fee, rather claiming the fee I paid "was charged to you by the credit card company after the sale." At this point, I was very frustrated and quoted the portion of our contract which requires a refund if any service is not provided at the agreed upon time and absolves the client of any further payment.
LisaMarie responded, “As I have already explained this situation has already been remedied by your failure to keep up your end of the agreement. We agreed to your insisting on your very low price budget in exchange for the savings of the credit card fees with your payment in cash on the day of. You went ahead and used the credit card so now the convenience fee is owed to us. Your earlier pick up time and later start time (without informing us btw) This balances out the cost of the keepsakes.”
This was the first time she had ever mentioned that our wedding started "late," as well as the first time she implied that the pick-up time had been a problem or a discount. She also ignored the contract language to again insist that her convenience fee, which was not included in the contract nor invoice, was not paid. Finally, much like the deposit that she badgered me for earlier in the process, she has never suggested how I could pay said fee.
While the flowers were fine, when she failed to perform agreed upon services, she began grasping at straws to bully me into agreeing that it was a “wash.” I can only hope that if you use this company, they provide all the services expected, because there will be no recourse or resolution if they do not.
LisaMarie was great to work with, she made my vision come to life. She did a fantastic job, I highly recommend her!!!
Creative Ambiance was great! Very responsive and made sure we were getting exactly what we envisioned for our wedding! Everything was perfect!
We had to push our wedding out a year due to the pandemic. Creative Ambiance was very accommodating to our change in date. We met with LisaMarie with our theme “Be our guest” and she rolled with her ideas. LisaMarie Leavitt and her team had many jobs and high expectations and they NAILED IT!!! Our friends and family are still talking about how elegant the wedding and reception was.
Thank you for being part of our special day!!
Contracted to do a wedding. Per the contract white, ivory and blush flowers were to be used, no pink. She used medium pink and deep pink flowers in ceremony and reception arrangements as well as the bridal bouquet.. The day of the wedding I had to send someone to purchase ivory roses to replace all the pink. Lisa Marie said she was not responsible for what color flowers her supplier sends her. WHAT??? I paid this woman over $6000.00 and this is an acceptable answer?Per the contract, three wristlets to be delivered, she delivered two and said the other one broke. The two she delivered disintegrated within 15 minutes of the start of the ceremony. She was very hard to communicate throughout the 2 yr process (covid delayed wedding), and her excuse was that she was so busy. We offered more than once to part ways if she was stretched too thin and to return all deposits, but she refused. When confronted with her errors, she was rude and insisted none of it was her fault. If you want to cry sad tears on your wedding day, then use this florist. The picture shows just some of the pink flowers that I had to remove from the arrangements and replace with flowers I purchased that day.
For a bride who wants an easy going decorator and visualizes things a specific way, DO NOT go with CAE. I sent LisaMarie multiple pictures of exactly what I wanted with her saying she would be able to do them and NONE of the my decorations for our wedding came out the way I had envisioned them and were absolutely NOT what I had sent her. We also must have gone through at least 6 contracts because she kept messing them up and then hassling me for money because that’s clearly all she cares about. I had also asked her to have my bouquet delivered to me on my wedding day so I wouldn’t have to worry about how I was going to get it. She asked me what time I needed it for and I told her I needed it for 10am when the photographer is also arriving. I must have called LisaMarie at least 10 times that day with absolutely no response and when I didn’t get one it was condescending and my bouquet was 1 hour and 30 minutes late getting to me. I wouldn’t recommend this company or their team to anyone for their wedding.
My fiancé and I started the search for some of our wedding decor a bit late. We came to LisaMarie with ideas but didn’t know how to bring them to life. She showed us many beautiful options of other venues she had worked with and ultimately helped us to create the perfect wedding decor. I had complete trust that when I walked into my wedding venue it would be no less than perfect. I was blown away by how amazing everything LisaMarie and her team had set up looked- it was better than I had imagined!
Our wedding was back in July and recently LisaMarie reached out to me. She had found out that in the chaos of everything a wedding consists of our personalized last name sign she had made for our sweetheart table was broken to pieces. I was so happy to hear that she was working on a new one for us and wanted to reach out to us to see how she could get it to us. If that isn’t amazing customer service I don’t know what is. I can’t wait to see LisaMarie and pick up the new sign to hang in our house. I can’t thank LisaMarie and her team at creative ambiance enough for bringing our dream wedding to life and being so thoughtful!
CAE really does beautiful work and this review is not about the ultimate project but about their customer service. I got married October of 2019 and used CAE’s services. They were highly recommended by our venue since they're located in the same building so they know the space very well, which made us comfortable. My fiancé and I met with LisaMarie and were quoted a price. We then went back to give our $500 nonrefundable deposit in cash. She said she would get back to us the next day with a contract. 2 months go by and we still don't receive anything from her. When I reach out, I am sent a contract for a higher amount. When I asked about it, I had to wait 2 weeks for a response, as I was told her response was sitting in her Draft folder. She mentions since she is “only a small part of my wedding” our pricing is higher, which was never mentioned in our original sit down or when we gave our deposit. How am I supposed to know the quote was one price versus a la cart pricing (mind you the quote was broken up and not one package price)? She tells me she’s going to do me a favor and honor the original price- great. I never get an updated contract. When I ask again a couple weeks later, I’m given the same one, with still the wrong amount (that we had not agreed upon). I then figure it’s easier to chat in person. When I go to meet with LisaMarie, she STILL has the contract with the higher amount. So frustrating! When talking to her, you are not important; she talks about other clients, her business, she continues to check her phone- your big day is insignificant (at least that is how she comes off). 2 days before my wedding I am charged twice on my card, with leaving for our honeymoon the day after our wedding this made me VERY anxious/ stressed. When I call, there was no explanation nor an apology, just “oh this has happened before”. The lack of attention to detail, lack of customer service, and unapologetic/ combative attitude makes your big day filled with stress. I would not recommend for any bride who wants a smooth, happy, and stress free experience.
Lisa was very easy to work with and she had a lot of different choices and ideas to contribute! She was transparent with her pricing and very quick to respond. She listened to what I wanted and made it happen! On the day of she was there bright and early and provided all the assurance I needed that it would look amazing. I’m incredibly grateful I chose to use creative ambience because it was a wonderful experience
From the moment I stepped in to LisaMarie’s magnificent and unique studio, I KNEW I had hit the wedding jackpot. Her and her attentive staff made the planning and day of our wedding beyond perfect! I got married in the same place where her studio is, and after countless events in their venue the staff said they had never it look more beautiful! My husband and I were thrilled with the way she designed our day & she how she made us feel like we were her only couple getting married (during the busiest time of year for weddings)!! She’s honest, loyal, professional, and one of the most dynamic women I’ve ever met! You won’t go wrong hiring her and her company
LisaMarie and her staff at creative ambiance did such a good job. The rentals were very reasonable and the floral was better than we could have ever imagined. When ordering floral for a wedding, it is a very conceptualized process and we felt completely comfortable letting LisaMarie take the reigns. She made great suggestions and really delivered exceptionally well.
Dear Lisa Marie & The Team! Wow! It's been a whirlwind but we can genuinely say that we enjoyed every minute of working with you guys. Right from the first meeting in the beginning we were sure that you had our vision on point and you produced that and then some for us. We took several minutes walking around the room with you for our first look just taking it all in! I know that I was bowled over & speechless! The room looked amazing! All of the fine details you included were just amazing. We are so happy that we chose you guys. You worked very hard for us and we can tell that you sincerely cared about the end results! We will definitely be referring your team to all of our friends! They were already asking "Who did this?" at our wedding! Best, Gwenny & Danny
Where do I begin?! LisaMarie was outstanding!! She is so friendly and sweet and knowledgeable about decor and themes and what she could offer. She was quick to respond to emails and schedule meetings. My husband (fiancé at the time) and I described how we envisioned our wedding and she was able to capture that flawlessly. We did not feel pressured to purchase something, which is very important to us. She was also very accommodating to any changes we needed to make and our budget. Not once did she make us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed as some other vendors we’ve encountered have.
The Creative Ambiance studio itself is breathtaking and inviting. All of their pieces are gorgeous!!! When it came to the wedding day, LisaMarie and her team did everything that they promised and went above and beyond to make sure it was exactly how we envisioned it. I cannot recommend Creative Ambiance enough! We received compliments on the decor all night and to this day, more than a week later! If you’re on the fence, trust me, book with them!
Lisa Marie was incredible to work with. Her price was extremely reasonable and her work was INCREDIBLE. I researched someone to decorate my tent for months and I was very happy picking Lisa Marie as she was awesome to communicate with... and then when I saw the tent I was absolutely amazed. It looked absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't recommend creative ambiance enough- they were beyond my expectations. Many of my guests commented on how beautiful of a job they did.
LisaMarie made my wedding look absolutely magical. I gave her my general ideas and she took them to create a beautiful day. I used primarily baby’s breath and twine with the bridesmaids and groomsmen flowers and my bouquet was a wonderful assortment of blue hydrangeas, white roses and baby’s breath (which stayed full the entire time even in the Florida heat). She has an eye for detail and whenever you are unsure of what you want she will provide you with several options and ideas to help fill in the gaps. She is also really good about hitting your key points and incorporating special elements (she suggested draping my grandmothers pearls in my bouquet which I would have never thought of!). She knows her craft and does a wonderful job.
I cannot recommend LisaMarie and her team enough! I did not have a very specific vision for the flowers for my wedding and I was planning from a distance. LisaMarie was so helpful in providing ideas and keeping things on budget. She sent lots of pictures and was quick with suggestions when I needed them. She and her team truly delivered on the day of the wedding, they exceeded my expectations with how beautiful the bouquets and arrangements were!
LisaMarie has an eye for design and does an absolutely beautiful job! She doesn't overlook a single detail and will make your wedding or event stunning. Highly recommend using her and the CAE team! You won't be disappointed! Truly hope to work with her again soon!
I am excited to recommend this florist and planner service to anyone that asks. Our wedding planning experience did not start out so swell. We made a few mistakes in the beginning and lost some deposits with vendors we didn't really love. Lisa worked very hard to get us back on track and considered all the angles and contracts. We were off and running! She guided us to a really simple, cohesive modern look that we loved, and we were so comfortable working with her and the team. We truly appreciate the time that they spent working with us, and it really helped put us at ease so that we could enjoy our day. The flowers were amazing! We also loved all of the added touches Lisa provided and the surprise of the sweetheart bench that we loved but couldn't afford in our budget! We owe you big time Lisa! Thanks a million xo S&G
Thank you LisaMarie & Team CAE! You all kept us so organized and focussed. Our day was beautiful and everything, (even though we had you manage our DIY stuff!!!). You guys created our perfect fairytale day for us making everything look perfect! We have to say that we did just what you said-we stepped back and took it all in! We loved the reveal, Our mothers were so happy with their bouquets so thank you for suggesting that we thank them this way! We really loved that our guests wrote their wishes on the wish tree and it was a great hit! It amazes us that you started the day 24 hours before and were still running around at the cleanup with plenty of energy! Overall I wish we could do it all over again. We will definitely be ordering from your shop in the future. The team truly rocks just like you advertised!!!
I would like to start this by saying this is NOT by any means a review on LisaMarie's final product. This is a review on customer service. In the end, I would say the flowers were satisfactory but it was a challenge to get there.
The first meeting was great, it was what led me to hiring LM & Creative Ambiance Events. After that, it was all downhill. It started when I discovered that a few of the photos posted on The Knot account were fake. One was of Bachelorette Desiree Siegfried. Desiree is a wedding planner so I quickly googled her vendors and CAE was not one of them. Feeling lied to, I asked for a sample centerpiece based on our first meeting. Upon arrival the centerpiece was nothing that I hoped it would be. But that was ok because it was a sample. This encouraged me to work more with LM to course correct. She will say that it was "what I wanted" and initially that direction was appealing but in practice, I did not like it. This was Feb 2018 and my wedding were to be May 2018 so plenty of time to re-work the vision. LM was quick to get defensive and blame me for the reason I did not like the centerpiece. I work with clients daily as a consultant and I would never in a million years begin an engagement with blaming a client.
As time went on, it became evident that the initial direction was still on LM's mind so I really had to take the reins and try to re-guide her. One of the biggest issues here was that LM could never show me a book of her work or educate me on different styles. As an expert in the floral industry, I would expect that she would take the time to educate and guide me with the right verbiage, but instead, she held it against me. In late March/Early April I felt like we finally aligned on what I wanted for the day and I was hopeful.
From a business perspective, LM is very disorganized. It is challenging to get updated contracts and pricing from her. When you do, there are often mistakes. If you hire LM & CAE I encourage you to read the contracts with a fine-toothed comb. Additionally, she does not line item the pricing so it can be difficult to track costs as you make changes to your services.
The worst part was when I received the final pricing and contract two weeks before my wedding (cutting it close!) and I noticed one small error. LM had accounted for a ring bearer piece but no cake flowers. I noted this in my email back, accepting the final pricing. Her assistant emailed me back saying that it would be $40 more. Now, normally $40 is not anything to bat an eye at, but after all of the back and forth and frustration (and spending thousands of dollars!) I had simply asked for CAE to make good and wondered if they could just wave the $40 and include the cake flowers. This was when she decided to email back (acting as her assistant btw) and threatened to cancel my contract ONE WEEK BEFORE MY WEDDING. Who does that to a bride one week before her wedding? And yes, I paid the additional $40.
The cherry on top was when she posted the flowers to be used in my wedding on her Instagram as a gifted bouquet to some friend two days before my wedding. So, no real surprise when some of the flowers looked less than lively on the day of.
If you're the kind of person who is willing to let the "artist" create without any involvement, maybe LM & CAE are for you. But if you're like me, and are looking for a flexible and collaborative vendor to help create something beautiful for your big day, I do not recommend LM & CAE.
I had such a good experience working with LisaMarie and her team at CAE. I'm so happy about how my special day turned out!
I had the worst customer service with this establishment. After meeting with this person and discussing my budget limit- we signed a contract, and I paid her a deposit in cash. Two days later she emails me to tell me that I had made the calculations wrong on the contract and "I forgot to factor in the bridesmaid bouquets" so the final total was incorrect. Calculating the final total amount is NOT my job...it is the retailers' job. Then the boss had the nerve to blame the error on me.
I stated that since I already paid the deposit in cash and we both signed a contract to an agreed amount, she should be honoring the said amount- as it was her error for not noticing four bouquets were not factored in to her total.
She offered to compensate I think, for one of the bouquets but at that point, I just wanted my deposit $ back because I no longer trusted that she wouldn't adjust the price later down the line or just be difficult/combative. There were other issues regarding the ambiguity of "set up prices" for tables, and then for the altar, its like there were different set up fees that would pop up from first draft contract to second contract, it wasn't consistent to say the least. What is the point or safety of having a contract with a final amount including the taxes, two signed signatures, a hand over of $500 in cash, and a receipt... if what you get is an email two days later that tells you the price has been increased 1/4th of the total original cost (yes, it went up 25%) because you, yourself did not notice a glitch in someone elses' written up contract.
Needless to say, she would not give me my deposit $ back. I had paid the deposit and was trying to get it back within a week of paying it and my wedding was not even until nine months at the time this took place (meaning, I gave her $500 for 0 services rendered) I am so turned off by this place that I am not even pursuing trying to get it back- I'm just so glad to never deal with this lady again.
What was way more off putting than the price adjustment was the way she was unapologetic in anyway of the error and instead seemed very comfortable in letting me think it was my fault not to notice the error. This is truly awful customer service - and in the wedding business- its all about the customer service. Get it together! The only saving grace is this - I won't have to endure a dragged on partnership with an establishment that quickly shows they don't really care about your special day.
If I could put negative stars on here I would. If you want a stress free experience where the coordinator is pleasant, upfront and accomodating...don't go here.
Lisa was amazing start to finish! Our wedding date snuck up on us and we still had not booked a florist, I had emailed a few people but the second we met with Lisa I knew she just had to be the one to do our wedding!! I had a vision of what I wanted for our special day and she took it and made it come to life. Our centerpieces were custom teapots she tracked down and painted, we had amazing candelabras draped in gorgeous flowers and a backdrop that was beyond beautiful. Lisa and her team really took the time to make sure our wedding Day was everything we had envisioned and I am beyond thankful. Her studio really is one stop shopping! If you can think it, she WILL create it!
Professional, efficient and reliable! LisaMarie and team understood our vision and executed on it perfectly - and within budget! It was the perfect touch we needed for our 10-year wedding vow renewal! Thank you!
When it comes to wedding planning, it is sometimes hard to imagine how everything will look. We were opened to ideas and LisaMarie had some fantastic ideas. Our wedding turned out beautiful. There were a few hiccups but everything was worked out quickly. LisaMarie and her CAE team did a wonderful job. Only suggestion I would make is having some form of list, pricing the items so other couples can get a better understanding of cost. Overall, we loved how everything turned out. Thank you CAE!
Lisa Marie was amazing to work with. She was always so helpful and quick to answers questions/concerns, and share her expertise. Her and her team really made my wedding vision come true. I especially loved the ceremony back drop they created for us. I could not have asked for more, and would recommend them to anyone!
I can't even describe how amazing LisaMarie and her staff were. I knew the color scheme but was not sure on what direction I wanted to go in. I gave LisaMarie creative freedom to do what she thought would go best with the colors that I chose. She found the most amazing antique vases that held the flowers for each table centerpiece. I had never thought that planning a wedding would be stress free, because of friends and family members who had told me how hard it was. But with LisaMarie and her team by my side I had the perfect wedding day, walking down the aisle was so beautiful I was in tears. I am truly thankful for Lisa Maria and her staff at Creative Ambiance for putting so much hard work and dedication to my wedding. I will forever cherish the memories of that day.
LisaMarie is truly the best of the best! She went above and beyond with the flowers and decor for my wedding, bridal shower and rehearsal dinner! From my very first meeting with her, I knew that I was in good hands and I was definitely right! She helped to make the wedding planning process easy and enjoyable! Choose Creative Ambiance Events! You will not regret it! :)
LisaMarie is the best. Her creations are inspiring. She turns visions into reality and I am so happy to have collaborated with her on so many events. They event turned out much better than I imagined. I can't wait to work with her on another project.
What a beautiful job LisaMarie and her team did for us - it was magical! I had literally no idea what the heck I wanted for flowers (being the first of my friends and family to get married and being a flower novice) and gave LisaMarie creative freedom to pick what she thought would work best based on my taste. Through only a shared pinterest board and several meetings, she pegged everything we wanted and more. I had complete trust in LisaMarie and her very dedicated team throughout the whole process, and the end result was something that wowed every single guest. I have gotten the most amazing feedback on how gorgeous everything turned out with the decor and flowers (flowers provided completely by CAE and some decor). One of the most amazing aspects about working with LisaMarie is how thoughtful she is of a couple's budget, and sticking within it - even going so far as to helping us trim the other decor vendors budget by providing items through her instead of them (lowering the price drastically). It wasn't just another wedding to her, it was something she really truly cared about and it definitely showed. We ended up using her for invitations as well - they were perfect, and amazing quality. Overall, the best wedding vendor experience we could have hoped for....when panicked, lost, or confused, LisaMarie is the resource you definitely need to have on your side during the planning process. Thank you LisaMarie and all you lovely ladies at CAE - best day ever thanks to your effors, we didn't have to worry about a thing :)
Super happy with how everything turned out! Lisa Marie and CAE staff did an amazing job at bringing our wedding vision to light! Everything looked so elegant. It was all so great! Thank you, CAE!
I attended a wedding where Lisa Marie had done the flowers, and I have to say they were absolutely amazing. they lasted all night and stayed in perfect condition. the bouquets were amazing and fit the brides personality and style perfectly.
Awful customer service. She didn't give us a quote for 1.5 months and then blamed the website and me for it. I asked her for a quote three times throughout the time. I still never got it. She kept saying someone is just "breaking the chain of emails." When she found out I choose another florist she send this nasty email to me. I should have read the reviews on the Yelp before I even contacted her.
LisaMarie and her staff were amazing to work with. We were married in May 2016 and she delivered everything we talked about. It was clear when I met LisaMarie that she was professional and experienced. I wasn’t someone who had a clear vision of what my wedding décor would look like and she took the time to get to know my husband and me. I left a lot of the decision making to her as I could tell she was going to make the décor work with our venue. She nailed it! She also designed and coordinated our invites, table card assignments and cake decorations; all of which were beautiful and elegant. She and her staff met with us as many times as it took to finalize the details and she always answered my many email questions. I would highly recommend LisaMarie who went above and beyond being our florist for the wedding. She really had a big part in bringing together our whole décor and theme for the entire wedding.
Unfortunately LisaMarie is the most unprofessional business owner i have ever met. I had to back out of getting my chair covers from her because she raised the price and I was then told off by her. When i picked up my bouquets the day before the wedding the roses had already started browning and my bouquet actually lost flowers from it during my ceremony. The boutonnieres also fell apart. I also ordered a bouquet to toss and it was not given to me the day i picked up the bouquets. It was also not left for me at our wedding venue where she was setting up my centerpieces. When i asked her for it instead of apologizing and bringing it to me she accused me of leaving it in the box of bouquets at my hotel. Luckily one of my bridesmaids gave hers up for me to toss so i was able to do my bouquet toss. The next day she apologized and again said i should have had the bouquet and that she would not give a refund since it was only $5. She then went on to say no one had complemented her work or given her a tip and that all my mother said was that she didn't provide the toss bouquet. Who asks for a tip?? Especially when she knew she missed something even if she wanted to lie about it. Lisa is unprofessional and has absolutely no customer service skills whatsoever. It is completely unacceptable to get nasty with any customer. She is not a cheap vendor by any means and unfortunately her work was not worth the amount of money we paid.
Creative Ambiance did a beautiful job with our flowers and decor, adding those small touches that make a wedding uniquely your own. LisaMarie understands current trends and had great ideas for our wedding, and we received many compliments on the details. My Husband and I felt that Creative Ambiance would benefit from a photo library and standard price list of flowers and rentals, so that couples could have a better idea of what their wedding decor will look like and cost, early on in the process.
LISA MARIE IS THE BEST AT HER CRAFT.A TRUE PROFESSIONAL .I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH HER MANY TIMES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. WHATEVER THE BUDGET YOU MAY HAVE..SHE WILL MAKE IT LOOK PRICELESS. I WAS RECENTLY THE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY HIRED FOR A WEDDING AT THE BILTMORE HOTEL IN PROVIDENCE. THE ROOM DECOR WAS EXCEPTIONAL!! IT WOWED NOT ONLY THE EMPLOYEES..BUT EACH GUEST THAT ARRIVED HAD OOHed AND AHHHed. THEN I SAW LISA MARIE COME INTO THE ROOM..I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SHE WAS THE DESIGNER/ PLANNER. YOU CANT GO WRONG HIRING HER COMPANY FOR ANY FUNCTION!!!
This company is fabulous! Lisa Marie held my hand thru the process. Her taste and style are timeless. Her little "minions" scrurried about and the end product was breathtaking. Highly, highly recommended.
We found Creative Ambiance on the Knot when we first began planning our wedding over a year ago and chose to give it a try seeing the great reviews jthe vendor got. We were not disappointed at all! LisaMarie was wonderful, she helped us plan our wedding and make sure we stayed on track all along the way. She was patient with us even when we had to change colors and flower arrangement several times. LisaMarie and her team were professional, organize and did a fabulous job with decorations!
The day of the Wedding LisaMarie, with her coordinating and excellent professional skills made sure that I enjoyed my special day and was on top of all questions and concerns that came my way. LisaMarie calming personality kept me calm and patient when my wedding ran an hour late. She was an amazing event coordinator making sure every thing continued to move forward and attend to any issues that arose. She was very attentive during the reception making sure I ate and the program was on schedule. I loved working with LisaMarie and her team and I can't thank her and her team enough for all the hard work they did on the day of the wedding and the months of prepping!
From the time my husband and I met with LisaMarie she was very thorough and understanding of our ocean themed ambiance. She was able to show us pictures of past events she had done, giving us a better idea of what we wanted.
Through the entire process she was readily accessible and put our mind at ease as it got closer to the big day! The centerpieces, bouquets and boutineries for the gentlemen came out wonderful.
Unfortunately, my dad was missing his boutoniere but one of her workers came back to the church to hand deliver this before pictures were taken.
She was more than accomodating and we would highly recommend her for any bride and groom!
LisaMarie was so easy to work with. She and I had a blast picking out flowers together. She has a wonderful eye for her work and very competitive prices. My husband and I adored our flower-petal aisle runner and the gorgeous bouquets that she put together for us. Thank you for taking so much time to make my day so perfect.
Everyone wants the perfect wedding.... well, we did....We starting planning one year in advance. Had no clue, who to call for what. And, then we found Creative Ambiance. Lisa Marie help us with everything. My favorite was the twinkle lights hanging in back of the head table from a wall of white sheers and also draping in front of the head table. Omg, it was beautiful.
Creative Ambiance can do it all. Center pieces, lighting, invitations, chair covers, candy table and cigars, napkins, matches, fancy table linen, table numbers, seating names, chair covers and more. If she doesn’t do it, she can guide you were to go. Lisa is a one stop shop.
Lisa also did our invitations, We like bling, so our invitations had crystals on them. They were absolutely stunning.
Thank you Lisa for making our wedding beautiful.
My daughter was married in New Haven, Ct on in June of 2015. Lisa Marie and her crew did the flowers. They came out beautifully, and I was pleasantly surprised as my daughter made the arrangements. The flowers were fresh, artfully arranged and just perfect.
I have to add that Lisa Marie's husband was in an accident (a bad one) the night before the wedding. She and her staff worked all night and packed the truck after she came home from the hospital so that the wedding would not be upset. When I learned this I was amazed. Such dedication to her clients!
I highly recommend this florist!
LisaMarie & her team were amazing!! They were flexible, creative, friendly, professional and worked within our budget! From day 1, my connects with LisaMarie were extremely productive! She brought me thru many options and we were able to bring together exactly what I wanted! The venue looked beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything more! She truly brought my vision to life and enhanced it even further.
Working with Creative Ambiance Events was a great experience for my husband and I. They were in charge of decorating the pews of the church, bouquets, centerpieces, the reception table and escort cards. The bouquets for my wedding were gorgeous! Somehow they stood out beautifully against the bridesmaids dresses and yet blended in so effortlessly. Everything exceeded my expectations!
Lisa-Marie was accommodating to us when we needed to review aspects of our wishlist once changes had to be made. She also held all of our centerpieces for us while we were on our honeymoon. I feel not many vendors would do such a thing. The work that she and her team creates is wonderful. Creative Ambiance Events is a vendor that each couple should look into.
LisaMarie was fabulous to work with! I contacted her about one month before my wedding (my uncle was going to do my flowers but last minute he no longer could). LisaMarie created exactly what I wanted and more. Her arrangements were beautiful - I could not have asked for anything more!
We were at our sister's wedding. We were part of the bridal party. The party was a complete success. It was well planned. The whole day ran smoothly.
I attended the De Souza-Cunanan wedding in Rhode Island last August 2013. I vividly remember how gorgeous everything looked. The flowers were absolutely exquisite. Great job!
The title of this review speaks for itself! The design and coordination produced by LisaMarie and the Creative Ambiance Events staff was just AMAZING!!! Our centerpieces were very unique and original that all of our 600 guest thought they were just beautiful and they've never seen anything like it. But every detail from start to finish was just lovely. There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful everything was. My husband and I just watched our wedding video and it warmed our hearts to relive every moment and the day. The day was filled with so much LOVE and was just magical. A job well done to you and your staff! Thanks so much again, and we both hope to work with you again in the near future!! :)
As a groom, I wasn't too much into details as my wife is in regards to planning events especially our wedding. But I enjoyed being part of the process and the planning. From the moment both my wife and I met LisaMarie, we knew we were in good hands. Everything we had discussed she and her team made our vision come alive. Overall, our wedding was an event that was original, romantic, classic with a beautiful modern touch produced by LisaMarie and the Creative Ambiance Events staff. Both my wife and I would like to thank you and your staff for making our wedding so special and doing such an awesome job!!! We hope to work with you again in the near future!!! Thanks so much!!!! Everything was AMAZING and we continue to hear nothing but great reviews about our wedding even a year later!! :)
Everything was great! Affordable and easy to communicate with. I recomend Lisa Marie.
LisaMarie and her team were all very creative. They gave us a great deal of attention. When I first met LisaMarie I knew I wanted a vintage glamour theme for my wedding, and The Creative Ambiance Events team took every detail to the next level. They gave me an abundant amount of options to choose from. LisaMarie and her team webt above and beyond. Let's just say on the day of my wedding I was very pleased. I received many compliments.
Lisamarie and her daughter make an awesome team. Creative ambience is the way to go if you're looking for someone who understands that planning a wedding is stressful. She was so easy to talk to and so easy going I loved it. The smores bar was such a great hit at my best friends wedding all the guests loved it and loved this mother daughter duo! Can't wait to link back up with her one day!
I decided that because of my allergies I would like to have silk flowers for my bouquet so that I would have more to choose from (and they would last!). I met LisaMarie at a bridal show at Venus De Milo in Swansea and even though I lived an hour away from there it was not a problem to work with her. Her responses were quick and timely to any question or thought I had regarding the flowers for the wedding. She heard my vision and looked at some pictures with me and instantaneously she whipped up a beautiful bouquet, one for me and another for my bridesmaids. The boutonnières were different than you might usually see and that was how I wanted it. She was able to incorporate silk flowers and dried flowers so that my bouquet would have an earthy feel to it like I wanted. I wanted the flowers to match my then fiancé's tartan and she was able to do this beautifully. She also knew I wanted a sunflower, but the yellow did not go with the color scheme so she found the most stunning red sunflower to make my bouquet complete. She was very organized and had all of the boutonnières arranged so no one could get confused. I did not have to worry about a thing when it came to my flowers and for that I will forever be grateful. She has a beautiful soul and her vision is so artistic you would think these came out of a painting. I now have a beautiful memento that will last as reminder of our special day. Thank you again LisaMarie for bringing my vision to life.
I emailed with this vendor and set up a general consultation for today. I live in CT so I drove about 45 minutes to get there. I get there ten minutes before my appointment, ring the door bell, knock, and even check out the building next door. There was no one around, the door was locked, and lights were off inside.
So I called and waited thirty minutes, I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, traffic, an accident or emergency etc. I was just about to leave when I I saw a woman walk into the florist shop from the side building. I waited to see if she would turn the lights on or return my call and then I would have gladly went into my appointment. However, she came back outside and decided to walk her dog down the block instead, So I left because at that point I knew that was her, that she had clearly forgotten all about our meeting, and it was 40 minutes passed our meeting time.
About halfway home back to CT she called to say she was working in the building next to the shop downstairs and that the clock had stopped, she didn't have cell signal, and if I had rang the doorbell she would have came up. She also said I could come back because she was now at the shop.
1) I did ring the door bell and knocked.
2) There is no sign on the floral shop saying that someone could be in the side building.
3) If she had her cell phone, which is sounded as if she did, then there is a clock on your cell phone.
4) She decided it was more of a priority to take the dog for a walk than remember her appointments.
This just sounds like the classic case of disorganization. If you know you have an appointment today why close shop and hide in the side building? I emailed the vendor back and said I would not being returning or using their services because I need a florist who is reliable and not forgetful. Basically a waste of time.
Lisa-Marie and her team at CAE did an amazing job with the floral arrangements at my wedding. The bouquets were gorgeous and the table centerpieces were perfect. After the first meeting with Lisa, she knew exactly what I was looking for, and made sure she created exactly what my vision was for my dream wedding!
I had CAE do the flowers for my wedding party (I decided to do non-floral centerpieces) and they came out better than expected! When we had our initial meeting, LisaMarie was able to decipher through my "I want more like this with some of that but none of this" to create the bouquets that I wanted! Her and her team made beautiful pieces that accented the wedding without taking away from the beauty of the dresses or venue. Definitely a place to check out!
I hired Lisa to make me a brooch bouquet that I wanted to use in place of flowers for both my engagement party (September 2013) and my wedding (more than one year after that). I tried to pick the bouquet up a few weeks in advance of my engagement party but she kept saying it wasn't ready. Long story short, I picked it up two days before the event. There was something not right about it - it wasn't round like I had envisioned it and there were weird flower petals sticking out from the middle of the brooch area randomly - but, as it was two days before the event, I couldn't do much about it. Plus, it didn't look THAT bad...
Fast forward to January 2014: the bouquet completely flattened out into a pointy, lopsided triangle. I emailed Lisa to ask her to fix it - seeing as I spent $300 on it - and she said, "No problem at all, bring it back and I will fix it." I brought it back to her right away.
Fast forward again to August of 2014: I had never heard from her so I emailed to ask if it was fixed yet. At this time she emailed me to say, "I cannot help but think it was squished in the transport of your luggage... if you need it repaired I will have to charge you another $300." AFTER SHE HELD ON TO IT FOR OVER SEVEN MONTHS, MIND YOU! I told her I never put it in any "luggage" seeing as I live in Providence and the engagement party was at a hotel in Providence. It simply fell apart as it wasn't properly put together!
Long story short (once again), fast forward to today, September 24, 2014: I FINALLY got to pick it up... still not fixed as originally promised. I spent the last two hours taking it apart and I see why it collapsed: she never used a styrofoam ball! She simply taped a bunch of green sticks together and tied the brooches to them using wire. And she had the nerve to tell me it fell apart because of me, not her.
BUYER BEWARE, THIS WOMAN MAKES PROMISES SHE DOES NOT KEEP and SELLS PRODUCTS THAT AREN'T PROPERLY MADE. Now I'm out $300, don't have a keepsake to cherish forever (hence why I wanted a brooch bouquet in the first place) and still have to buy flowers for my wedding day!!!
Since our wedding was outdoor, we really needed a draping services. We were searching every where to find a company. It was so stressed and not fun at all. Finally, we found Lisa. She and her team did an amazing job. The sheer ivory draping made our reception area looked so pretty and romantic. Most important: she did give us a reasonable price!! Even though we did not pay for her wedding planning services, she was extremely helpful for plan our wedding. While we were planning the wedding, she even went to the hotel with us and helped us for lots of wedding details which we had never thought about. Our wedding wont be so perfect without Lisa. Thank you so much Lisa!
Lisa Marie and her team at Creative Ambience were outstanding and exceptional with the set up and decorating of our wedding ceremony and reception. The custom Bamboo arbor arch that she had built for us was beautiful and beyond what we had expected! The overall planning and experience was pleasant, easy and smooth. She even went out of her way and surprised us with the cutest little sea shell boutonnières. We highly recommend anyone and everyone planning an event to Lisa Marie and Creative Ambience!!!
LisaMarie did a really good job in capturing my vision with the budget I had. No complaints! :) thanks again
Lisa Marie did a great job with our non-traditional wedding. We had some bumps along the way, vases not available etc. but she always came up with alternative ideas and solutions.
I had a list of what I didn't want and she was able to work around those and put together some beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. She found great small recycled glass vases, so there could be multiple vases on each table, letting friends and family have flowers to take home. She also did a great job with my preferred colors.
I was very pleased. She was also always cheerful and upbeat. Always a plus for a stressed out bride!
LisaMarie and the staff at CAE took my vision and brought it to life. I loved my bridal bouquet as well as my bridesmaids bouquets they were full of bright, colorful flowers. When I arrived at the reception every detail was as I explained it to LisaMarie. The tables centerpieces looked amazing and I am very happy with the end result of my flowers. LisaMarie is very talented and I appreciate all of her and her staff's hard work making my dream come true.
I loved her and wanted her to be my florist the minute I walked through the door! Creative Ambiance is a warm, out of the box, one stop shopping for all event decorations and flowers. They have a little of everything on display and even more to show if you ask. I myself, was really confused about our couple style after being inundated with all the wedding sites. Lisa made up bouquet samples for us (at a small charge) and scheduled us to come in another time to set up what would be our ceremony arbor in her office! Lisamarie is sincere and she really helped me to pinpoint and figure it all out! I couldn't wait to walk down the aisle, but I was sad at the thought that the process was over! I will truly miss working with Lisamarie and her team.
From the time my husband and I were first engaged, we knew where we wanted to get married- at our favorite park. One day, while walking around our dream location in the VERY early stages of wedding planning, we met Lisa Marie who was planning an event there. We eventually got to talking and I swear it was fate we met her that day in that spot. From the beginning, she exceeded our expectations, guided us through the planning process, and made everything absolutely beautiful with her never ending creative style. Fast forward to the weekend of our wedding, the weather forecasters spoke on the news what no bride wants to hear; we were supposed to get a hurricane on my wedding day- my OUTDOOR wedding at that! That weekend while my husband and I switched back and forth between sheer panic and depression, Lisa Marie not only kept her composure (even when we called her in the wee hours of the night) but assured us everything would be okay (I thought she was crazy). The entire state was shut down in a state of emergency my wedding day, so we decided to postpone it to the following day. I woke up my wedding day not even knowing where I was getting married, the park was still shut down, but I had faith in Lisa Marie. That very day, she found us a beautiful venue and rescheduled all of our vendors. My husband and I had our dream wedding; it would not have been possible without her. It's now over two years later, we've just welcomed our first baby in to the family, and I am still so thankful for what she did for us.
The arrangements and fixtures designed by Creative Ambiance Event Flowers were great. I have not seen those types of arrangements at a wedding before. Very original and everyone that I have talked to at the wedding agreed, job well done!
LisaMarie was a pleasure to work with. My bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful fresh calla lilies. Everything was wonderful and I was very happy with all of our flowers.
Lisa was so accomodating with my busy schedule she was always readily avilable to answer any of my emails or phone calls. When I had issues deciding how things would go and look she was great with setting things up so I could see the big picture.
She was able to help me stay within my budge and give me yet everything I wanted.
Her team was great for my wedding I didn't have to worry about a thing. It looked amazing.
If your like me and have a vision but need help seeing the big picture and are looking for someone who is caring, genuine and not going to make you feel just like some other bride then look no further.
LisaMarie is a easy to work with. She created exactly what we wanted for our wedding at the Hope Club in Providence. With her creativity, she transformed the dining room into a dream with soft amber lighting and sheer draperies. It was romantic and a perfect day at a very reasonable price.
We worked really well with LisaMarie! She really understood our theme and did her absolute best to make that happen for us. She found us AMAZING deals with great vendors, and kept us informed and involved throughout. We went with full coordination, which was completely worth it. The arrangements were STUNNING, the crystal chandeliers were a beautiful touch, and the moss covered film reels were unique and original. My bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet: elegant, simple, and a touch of sparkle! Need proof? The sphere in her profile photo is what she created for our wedding! The only negative comment would be the staff presentation the day of. There were a few comments made by guests that staff members were barefoot at the wedding. Not necessarily the most professional, but considering what an amazing job LisaMarie did in making our wedding dream a reality, it's easily overlooked. She is a wonderful resource in planning with amazing contacts. She explains the process, and really goes above and beyond to help her brides.
