Paris at its Best!!!!
JR and his amazing team at Decorativelyspeaking Events were top notch professionals who more than met our expectations and gave us the most spectacular decor that perfectly captured the wedding of our dreams! We loved our wedding theme so much and they executed the vibe of a Parisian wedding as if we were transported in the romantic city for the evening! We had elaborately decorated Eiffel Towers with beautiful floral arrangements on top of them! The foyer was set up like a French cafรฉ with the movie American in Paris playing on a monitor in the background! The colors were silver, purple and lavender which embodied a majestic look to the event! The tables were named after different parts of France. We felt like royalty sitting at our very own private sweetheart table that was so ornately decorated that it was fit for a king and queen! The cake table looked like out of a magazine! Everything was so stunning like a celebrity wedding that our guests were so impressed and gave us so many compliments! I can hardly wait for the professional photos so that I can post them. We would highly recommend JR and his Team for any event!
J.R. and his team really brought their expertise to the table when it came to styling my tea party. I had about 50 people and the Victorian style i was looking for,J.R. nailed it! they were really fun to work with and very professional. I highly recommend DSE with no hesitation.
JR and His Team were incredible to work with. We met JR in Tampa at our friends wedding and we were so impressed with him, we immediately scheduled a consultation for our own wedding in Miami. we wanted a Tropical Vibe and JR brought it !!! totally blew us away! They were professional, punctual and had great communication.
JR and his team are great to work with and easy to communicate with. Friendly and very knowledgeable, brings lots of expertise and options for my wife and I.
JR and his team were great and I enjoyed working with them. He offered us multiple options, was flexible, and made it simple to transform our vision into reality. With over a decade in the industry, he really brings his knowledge and personal touch to make my ideas better than I couldโve imagined. I highly recommend them.
J.R. is the best. He turns visions and dreams into reality! His attention to detail and eye for style and color are above & beyond our expectations. J.R. is professional, has a wealth of knowledge & experience shine through. I highly recommend J.R. Decoratively Speaking Events.
Let me just start by saying that this review is LONG overdue. JR and his team made my husband and our wedding's dream come to LIFE! My short and sweet version of this review is that I could not have imagined a more beautiful day, and I am forever grateful for his passion and love of decor, family, and love. When I say that J.R. was made for this.. I mean that. He loves what he does, and his vision and passion are second to none. I spoke with a few decorators and linen providers, but none gave me the type of service that J.R. did. He takes the time to get to know YOU and what your dream is. He will take care of the rest. For my extended version of this review, keep on reading!
I essentially was planning my own wedding, living in Orlando, working full-time (60 hours a week), but then frequenting back to Clearwater for wedding related activities on the weekends. To say my husband and I were exhausted is an understatement. I still don't know how we got through it all! My husband and I were vetting out vendors left and right. We still wanted a special and memorable day. And by golly we did it!
J.R's Decoratively Speaking Events was on the vendor list of our venue, Kapok Tree Events Center & Gardens in Clearwater, FL, along with other names. Decoratively speaking was the second vendor regarding linens I reached out to, but upon our first on the phone meeting, I knew that he was the one to take my vision and make it a reality. We must have talked on the phone for over an hour! Knowing that he was a family person and thrived in his passion and business was all that I needed. We set up a face to face meeting at the Kapok Tree and started discussing ideas further. My mom joined my husband and I, and she is very traditional, and opinionated.. J.R. was able to "marry" my mom's traditional outlook with my modern and it all showed out on the wedding day.
J.R. got to know me, my husband and my family and it was such a blessing. There were a few snafus here and there, but J.R. and his team were there for our rescue. J.R. and our venue Director and coordinator worked hand-in-hand to ensure that his team could set up everything that we needed before the wedding day, which made my scrambled brain more confident in their efforts to pull off such a beautiful wedding. Their communication was much needed, but knowing that they got along great put my crazy mind at ease.
Thank you J.R. and the Decoratively Speaking team for taking the time to make our wedding dream a reality. We appreciate it so much!!!
From the moment we met, J.Rโs passion for perfection shone through, and every detail of our special day was meticulously crafted with love and precision. His creativity transformed our vision into a breathtaking reality, exceeding our wildest dreams like way beyond than what we ever imagined. From the enchanting floral arrangements to the elegant tablescapes, every element radiated elegance and sophistication. Their professionalism and dedication ensured a seamless and stress-free experience, allowing us to cherish every moment of our celebration. Our guests were left in awe, and we are forever grateful for the teamโs exceptional talent and unwavering commitment to making our day truly magical. Thank you for turning our dreams into memories we will treasure forever!
JR and the Decoratively Speaking team are next level. They took our vision of "Christmas Magic" and "Winter Wonderland" for my client's holiday party and RAN WITH IT! They blew me away. Their professionalism, timeliness, and communication is top notch, but their decorating is even better! Their team TRANSFORMED a car dealership showroom into a stunning winter wonderland, with beautiful pipe and drape, perfect centerpieces and Christmas decor that would knock your socks off. JR heard our vision, ran with it, and OVER delivered! His passion and care for his customers and their vision is the best. I knew we were in safe hands, and you should too! I can't wait to work with them again!
What a wonderful experience we had when we hired this team of wonderful people to not only decorate our Alfa Romeo Maserati location in St Pete, but the attention to detail for our holiday party was second to none!!! WE recommend you use them for any event!!! Proud to be a part of their family!
We canโt, thank JR who is the owner enough for helping us have the best wedding! We are in awe of how effortless he made everything seem! It was such a joy working with such a professional and talented team! Our friends and family were blown away by the table centerpiece JR created. They even commented that they felt they were in a Hollywood red carpet event! JR was exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. He was super patient with all of our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to the wedding. He made our day the most amazing day ever. He was organized, attentive and responsive. Being in the business for so many year, JR was able to guide us through the whole process as well as delivered the nicest ceremony and reception that you could imagine. We highly recommend Decoratively Speaking Events because they made our special moment perfect and magical!
I hired this 5 star wedding planner for my daughter's wedding on Dec 17. J.R and his team went above and beyond my expectations and I would recommend him highly. He worked with me to created a wonderful life time memory for my daughter and now son-law.
Phenomenal!
JR is just phenomenal! He has such a beautiful and creative mind for decor it makes my recommendation of him so much easier. He created a beautiful 1920โs themed wedding decor for our bride and it was just breathtaking! I have no idea where he finds these unique and sometimes rare items, but he gets it done and with a bright smile on his face! I absolutely love working with him and he is the only person a recommend. Give JR a call before you do anything else first!
Decoratively Speaking did an awesome job for my event. They were professional, courteous and the decor was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend them highly.

Hey Brides,
This is an amazing company to work with. The staff is very loving and willing to go above and beyond to make sure your day is special. JR made sure my vision came true. If I could redo it all over again I would go back to this company over and over again! They make everything easy so that you can really enjoy your big day!
Thank you JR and your team for all of you have done to make my day special!
JR Navarro was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was blown away by his gorgeous decor at my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, as well as, the wedding reception. His attention to detail is unmatch and he is very detailed oriented and you can just tell that he has such a passion for his craft and he puts 110% of himself into every single detail. He is also very attentive and will communicate with and always cater to your needs.
J.R. was awesome. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted and he made it into something so much better. I had never even heard of dendrobium orchids (the blue/purple ones) before but they were absolutely perfect for our theme. We're even going to start ordering them at home simply because we like them so much. He's always available, very attentive, and definitely has an eye for making any venue pop with life.
J.R. and his crew will do everything they can to make your wedding a dream to remember!
JR and his staff were absolutely AMAZING! Words cannot describe how blown away my husband and I were when we finally saw our decor. From our initial consultation all the way to the day of the wedding JR was extremely meticulous in planning every detail, color, shade, type of flower, linen, centerpiece,- you name it. We truly could not have picked a better person to dress our wedding. He always made us feel like his friend and not just another client. He made sure to contact us throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding and was always super easy to contact about questions, concerns, or even just pictures of ideas I had. He was very honest about working with our budget and about every selection we made but always found a way to make it work. He even created a personalized invitation souvenir for us to keep that we absolutely loved and are so thankful for. Sorry I took so long to write this review but if anyone is considering Decoratively Speaking as their decor vendor I would 100% recommend you go with them. You will not be disappointed!
J.R. Was absolutely amazing. So grateful we chose him for our wedding day. The decor was incredible and far more detailed than I could have imagined. J.R. and his crew really outdid themselves.
We had got some ideas from his website and threw in a few of our own style and he nailed it!
We highly recommend Decoratively Speaking to anyone planning an event in the Clearwater area.
Amazing! Seriously RJ was the best. We did a FaceTime and constantly texted about my vision. I seriously sent him pics I liked and he made it all come to life. He made my dreams come true. Highly recommend! Everything was perfect
JR is truly a visionary and such a pleasure to work with! We had such a beautifully decorated space! His team was so pleasant and even helped with the decorating to move things along for us! Would totally recommend. Worth every penny!
JR is truly amaaaazing! You can trust his opinion and suggestions for sure. I can honestly say that he will make sure the bride and groom agree with everything (no matter who pays). The entire set up was perfect. All the flowers were stunning and in perfect condition. He sets up from the night before with an awesome crew. Another thing I appreciated was his communication all the time. He wanted to make sure the bride was good and relaxed during the entire process. I donโt have absolutely no compliant or anything I wouldโve changed from him or the beautiful decoration. Satisfied bride right here! Xoxo Nat!
