Maha is AMAZING! She literally brought my entire vision to life. We thoroughly talked through what I wanted and there was never a doubt in my mind that it wouldn’t be unreal. I walked in and cried, my husband and I were in awe when we saw the work. Her creative visions are unmatched. THANK YOU MAHA & TEAM!
All of our wedding vendors were exceptional, except Maha from Divine Designs & Events. While she is talented, she is unresponsive and unprofessional.
We found it extremely difficult to get in contact with her. Not only did she almost miss the walkthrough at our venue, uplighting was missing from our reception, which we contracted and paid for (thankfully, she did issue a refund for this).
Additionally, we used our own backdrop stand, floral and curtain panels for our guest photo area. Her staff disassembled and packed our things with their decor. After spending days trying to get in touch with her, she had a member of her team drop off the backdrop stand and floral panels, but the curtain panels were absent. She claimed she didn’t have it, but if the staff was in possession of the backdrop stand and floral panels, how could they not have the curtain panels that were also attached? Her staff member tried to give us curtain panels that looked nothing like ours and he even mentioned they looked different. We would’ve appreciated an exact replacement or refund for the panels in a timely fashion, but have received nothing.
Overall, we were extremely disappointed, especially given we spent our hard earned money for her services. Her lack of communication is troubling. Ignoring our calls, emails and text messages is unacceptable. We expected the same level of energy as when being sold on her services. We do not recommend Divine Designs & Events.
Our flowers were gorgeous! Maha was great at helping our vision come to life during our initial meeting then for the day of the wedding. The flowers were amazing and the candles and decor was just perfect. Could not recommend her more!
Cannot say enough praise for Maha and her team! Our 01-04-2020 wedding theme was Roaring 20s and she absolutely nailed it! Guests were blown away and we are still receiving so many compliments about the beautiful décor. She is a creative genius, way more than just flowers. We loved working with her because she is so fun and easy to talk to. Our wedding had 410 guests and she made sure every table was to perfection. The stage was amazing and my brooch bouquet was so special and unique. Any vision you have she will execute flawlessly! Best of the best :)
Maha and her team at Divine Design and Events are truly the BEST of the best – they went above and beyond to create the most beautiful florals for our wedding day, and we could not be happier! As an out of town bride, I was nervous about not being able to see everything in person before making decisions, but Maha was very accommodating. We emailed/texted photos back and forth, and also Face Timed so that I could see all of the floral/candle/vase options that she has to offer at her shop. She was patient during the decision making process, and used her expertise to guide us in choosing florals that were full, fresh, and beautiful without compromising our vision or budget – we so appreciated this!
Maha is super fun to work with and incredibly talented at creating an aesthetic that will match your vision for your wedding day. The bouquets, centerpieces, candles, drapery, and lighting left us and our guests speechless!! Most importantly, we did not have to worry about a single design-related thing the day of our wedding – she completely took care of the décor, allowing us to enjoy and not stress! Everything was perfect. We had the best experience working with Divine Design and Events and cannot thank or recommend Maha enough :)
Divine designs is one of the most professional companies I have dealt with. Their main priority is to make sure every wedding is taken care of. They work within your budget and you feel taken care of from the first meeting. they went above and beyond for us and We could not thank them enough. Not only did Maha make her process easy but she also provided us with lists of vendors and venues to help. I am so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you Maha! It was truly so so beautiful
Divine designs and events is the best in the business. There are many reasons why I believe so, especially considering that it is family owned and very personal. Not only is Maha a designer, but she personally cared for my event and made sure that I was happiest with the choices I made. Maha was willing to work with my ideas and blossom them into the most elegant tables, flowers, and stage. Working with Maha was amazing because I saw her create my ideas in front of my eyes, which is a skill I have not seen many master. I would most definitely recommend Divine designs and events, you will not regret your choice!
Where do I even begin?! I had the most amazing experience with Divine Designs & Events, Maha is extremely professional and you can see the passion and love that she puts into her work. She made me feel so special and kept telling me “this is your day”! As we all know this could be a very stressful time for a couple in getting ready for their big day, she was almost like our therapist! Lol! She listened to every detail and made me feel like the sky is the limit! Her energy left me feeling at ease and just excited! She truly builds a special bond with people and is such a humble person. Maha is an extremely talented individual and her work speaks for itself! She blew me away with her outstanding designs and work of art. My husband and I would like to thank you Maha and your amazing team at Divine Designs & Events for giving me everything I wanted and so much more, words cannot express our gratitude. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!
If you look at any of Maha's work you'll know that she is a visionary and has a tremendous amount of talent. She literally creates the pinterest dream for her couples. Working with Maha was easy- just shared a pinterest board with her and color scheme and a broad idea and she more than delivered. When I saw what she had done for us I was blown away and so thankful and appreciative. If you go with Maha you will not regret it - I can promise you that much.
Divine Designs is the best design company you could ever imagine!! Maha is amazing person and very professional. Everything they had was absolutely stunning!! All of our wedding guests couldn't stop complementing us on the flowers and centerpiece decor!! Every single flower looked and smelled beautiful!! Thanks to them I had the wedding of my dreams!
Miad and Fadi ❤️
You literally will not find a better designer than Divine Designs! Maha and her team went above and beyond my expectations for my wedding, and created the most dreamy and romantic stage! Maha totally goes out of her way to make her clients dreams a reality! She takes the time to meet in person and over the phone, and will show you the exact pieces in her studio that you can choose from for your wedding day. She's super innovative and I felt like I could trust her throughout the entire process to create my dream wedding, even when I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted! Definitely allow her to have designers choice with some aspects of your wedding, because she will go above and beyond to make things beautiful. Thank you Maha for making my wedding so perfect, you're so talented!
Maha and her team did a wonderful job with my beautiful bouquet and center pieces. These details brought class and style to my special day and they really stood out in my wedding photos and videos as well. Maha was always responsive and made sure everything was exactly how I had imagined!
I’ll start off with I know exactly what I want and I’m pretty picky. I had went to another florist before Maha & I was so disappointed. I only had to have one appointment with her and she got it! Her pricing was great too! I was quite surprised on how affordable she is but the quality surpasses the rest!
When I walked into my reception I was absolutely stunned! It was like a dream come true! My greenery wall was perfect, my centerpieces were flawless and Flowers were better then I expected. People are still talking about the room 💕
The flowers and centerpieces at my wedding were beautiful! Maha has the exact style I was looking for that is straight out of a magazine! She goes above and beyond to make sure that it looks gorgeous!
Maha was welcoming and involved from the beginning of the process of choosing our designs for an Indian wedding venue, including the mandap (wedding altar) and centerpieces, as well as bridal floral, bouquets, and garlands. While it was one thing to see how she did a mock up with one centerpiece and the lighting, on the wedding day, upon entering the reception room, we were stunned at how beautiful it turned out. She was willing to experiment with different colors, concepts, and designs that weren't necessarily in her comfort zone and executed it perfectly. We had a nature-themed mandap that was simple, elegant, and just what we envisioned. Besides her elegant work, she was a warm person and that went a long way after having a bad experience with other designers. There is a reason she is now a master wedding planner- she puts a lot of love and care into what she does and the finished product is exquisite!!we love you Maha! We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding looked.
Divine Designs helped make our wedding day more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed! At my very first meeting with Maha, her creativity and unique eye for design made it clear that Divine Designs was the right fit for our wedding. I completely trusted Maha and her team, and gave them creative autonomy to design something amazing. Maha listens to your needs and stylistic choices, and she offers suggestions where appropriate. She will go above and beyond to make you and your family happy. I am so thrilled to have been able to work with her - I will never forget the feeling of seeing our room for the first time decorated with all of her beautiful touches! Thank you, Maha and Divine Designs!
If I could only write one line for this review it would say: “just hire Maha and her team at Divine Designs and Events and don’t bother to look any further”
I am the type of person who shops around and compares things to make sure that I’m getting the best quality and service. So – trust me when I say that I compared some very high profile and well recommended event designers for my daughter’s wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago in June, 2018. When I met Maha, I immediately felt a sincere warmth from her, along with her genuine desire to create an amazing vision for our event. She showed me a variety of options from her inventory of décor which included some beautiful pieces that were unique from the other designers that I had met. In addition, she was so excited to be challenged by some new ideas and had great enthusiasm and desire to do a job that was above and beyond what I had ever dreamed of. I am not exaggerating when I say that when my husband and I walked into the room, it felt as though we were walking into a beautiful dream. The flowers, candles, draping, and many extras that Maha included for our event just looked like something out of a romantic fairytale. The words used to describe our event from our guests have been “jaw-dropping beautiful”, “magnificent”, “exquisite”, “the most gorgeous wedding they have ever been to and will probably EVER attend”!!!
From a professional point of view, Maha was very attentive and quick to respond to my phone calls and emails. In addition, she met with me several times at both her business location, as well as, the church and hotel to go over the plans. She made me feel very comfortable and I felt that she was treating our event as personally as if it was an event for her own family. It is rare these days to meet people who are so interested and proud of doing a “job well done” – Maha is one of those people!!
Maha was amazing to work with and our MANY arrangements for both the bridal shower and actual wedding were perfect. My wedding was at The Drake in the Gold Coast room, and since the room is very gold, I wanted pure white flowers to avoid any clashing with the ornateness of the gold. While she followed what I asked, she also made the most beautiful and full arrangements, so while the white color was 'simple', the arrangements themselves were gorgeous and complex. It was the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen and I'm so grateful to have hired Maha. Highly recommend her to any other couples looking for a florist! :)
We used Maha for our wedding in May, Maha and her husband Yehya nailed it! I loved everything about the floral design, from my gorgeous bouquet to our wedding arch to the candelabra centerpieces! I told her exactly what I wanted but gave her leeway to be creative. The end result was beautiful!Everyone at our wedding had tons of compliments about our flowers! I would definitely recommend using Divine Designs!!
FANTASTIC SERVICE!! We loved working with Divine Designs and Events! We were referred to Divine via a good friend that used Maha back in 2016. Ever since then she always reminded us when we were ready to contact her immediately! Maha created a wedding dreamscape that surpassed our expectations! It was magical! So luxe! Our guests were raving about the decor all night! They were flexible and helped create the exact look we wanted with our budget point! On the day of the we were worry free because we knew everything would go seamless with our decor! The moment Maha delivered our bouquets herself we knew everything was going to be gorgeous!! Top of the line service will recommend to anyone looking for a peace of mind and flexibility with a very luxurious look!! Thank you so much for everything we will continue the referral to other family and friends!!
If you're getting married and looking for top of thw line florist, I highly recommend Divine Designs and Events!! Maha BLEW us away!!! We were refered to Divine Designs and specifically Maha by our good friend that recently got married and raved of how amazing the service was! We also attended the wedding and at that moment we knew Divine Designs would be the one! Maha took her explaining to us the process, she really took my ideas and vision and brought them to life!! From Beginning to end, Maha was perfection! She understood our vision spot on!! Decor was our most complimented element in our wedding thanks to Maha!!!
I can honestly say the best decision we made for our wedding was choosing Maha and her team for our floral/decor. We were married at Intercontinental Mag Mile in December 2017 and words cannot describe the beauty that Maha and her team created for our special day. Many, many guests told my husband and I that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended- and I can honestly say that is 100% due to the incredibly talented Maha and her team. The day of the wedding there were no concerns as they arrived early, worked their magic without a peep and went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They are incredible and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Maha!
My all time favorite wedding and party decor company! I had a graduation party and divine designs fulfilled all my expectations. From the centerpieces to the chair covers, Maha and her team perfected everything We loved her so much that we hired her for my brother's wedding!! She turned the wedding venue into a fairytale, the walls were covered with drapes and there were flowers everywhere! Maha really took the time to fulfill the vision we had in mind, and she certainly added a touch that cannot be replicated! I can't wait for my own wedding because I'm sure she will go above and beyond to make it everything I've dreamed of and more!!!
Divine Designs was very professional, and the quality of their work was perfect and gorgeous. Maha was flexible in meeting with me to go over the details of the stage and table decorations. They had plenty of classy and timeless options and choices, and I was so happy with the final product for my wedding and my henna. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
SO in love with MAHA and her crew!!! They took our wedding from great to amazing with their stunning designs!!! We were truly blown away by the amazing work that they did. They transformed our banquet hall into a dream!!!! Their prices are so fair compared to other designers and they were a blessing to have found!!! Their items are so luxurious I felt like royalty the day of my wedding!! Everyone should consider them for any event!!!!!!! <3
