Dramatic Innovation

iendly, professional and creative. I know nothing about flowers and found it hard to describe what I wanted in terms of floral arrangements and Dan was able to put together exactly what I was envisioning! After going back and forth about hiring a day of coordinator, we decided to go for it since planning was starting to get a bit stressful for me. Dan and his assistant Megan were both incredible and really decreased my wedding planning stress. They drove all the way to our apartment about an hour away from them for our first planning meeting due to my busy work schedule. Everything from there on out went smoothly with coordinating the venue, vendors, timeline and details. When it came to our wedding day, Dan and Megan were extremely helpful and put everyone at ease. From running last minute errands to ensuring everyone was where they needed to be, they did it all. Throughout the day/night they were accessible but never seemed in the way. They really made our wedding day so much better and it was worth every penny.. we highly recommend!!!

porated into our wedding, as well, to really enhance the night. He was truly a wonderful person to work with and I highly recommend him! His work is stunning and it was just overall a lovely experience. thanks Dan!

tion for my wedding florist. Dan was the first florist I met with, and I stopped there. I knew from the very first meeting with him he was the right person to trust with my flowers. I had a vision of what I wanted everything to look like, but found it hard to convey since I don't know much about flowers! It was like Dan was inside my head, because he created my dream wedding and beyond- even better than I could ever imagine. He is more than just a florist- he spent hours with me discussing plans/options, offered to meet me in the flower market in NYC to set my mind at ease on colors, and set up every single detail the day of meticulously. The week before my wedding, Dan even let me know that one of the roses we had chosen was going through a shortage and showed me what his substitute would be. He runs EVERYTHING by you which I truly appreciated and made me feel so confident in what everything would really look like. Not only that, but I loved that he was also really savvy with costs. He consistently offered options that could save money (like moving outdoor ceremony arrangements inside later for the reception) and was always honest when asked his opinion on whether or not to add certain elements. Dan is not the type of florist that just delivers your flowers in a box to your venue and you never even see them (which is the experience I have seen so many times with other weddings). He is truly invested and a part of your day- he even came to show me my bouquet the morning of my wedding to see if it was OK and if I wanted any changes! (It was so perfect in fact that I cried at the first sight of it!). I cannot say enough about Dramatic Innovation and I'm still hearing from our guests how gorgeous our flowers were. He has impeccable taste and I am in awe of his talent.

with our venue and gave us reasonable recommendations about what would AND what wouldn’t work well in the space. It was clear he was not looking to charge you more than your budget based on his recommendations and often told us the most cost effective ways of making our dream flowers happen. He was such a pleasure to work with. Our arrangements were beautiful (we had 3 different styles), the bouquets were all perfect, and the whole experience was amazing! We highly recommend working with Dan!

top talking about them. In addition, he was very careful about the timeline and ensuring everything was delivered on time to the ceremony and reception. He was very easy to work with and did an amazing job!

a detailed quote with specific flowers he planned to use, picture examples, and pricing! Leading up to our wedding day he had a complementary sample of all the centerpieces he was going to make and they were stunning!! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Dan always quickly answered emails and was so easy to work with. The flowers were above and beyond what we originally envisioned!! So many thanks to Dan for his amazing work and professionalism on wedding day and throughout the entire process!

el the need to look anywhere else! Dan clearly knew what he was doing and we really trusted his creative judgement each step of the way. We loved all of his ideas and he had some great advice for us. I had originally wanted to have our ceremony in an outdoor patio space at our venue, but the weather was not going to cooperate on the day of. Dan created an incredible indoor ceremony space for us that brought the outdoors inside and it really blew everyone away. Our Chuppah was STUNNING with real leaves covering it. The leaves were also incorporated into our beautiful tall centerpieces that guests raved about. Dan went above and beyond all of our expectations to make our event truly magical!

ng. I am an extremely Type-A bride with some very, shall we call them, enthusiastically involved parents. Dan was patient and kind and truly listened to everything I asked for (and gave my parents the attention they required as well.) If you show him something you've been dying to have as part of your big day from Pinterest, he is going to not only make it for you exactly as you dreamed, but talk you through what might be even better in person/for your wedding specifically. I knew I wanted a bright pink bouquet and I adore Gerber daisies. The day before my wedding, I received an email from Dan -- he found gorgeous bright pink Gerbers, but the insides were black, not yellow - he wanted to make sure this was OK with me. It was such a small thing, but it made me feel so taken care of. (And yes, the were more than OK, my bouquet was drop dead gorgeous!) You will be SO happy you decided to work with him and to let Dramatic Innovation give you the wedding of your dreams!

sign every detail of our event. He was able to translate very vague ideas and color preferences into a gorgeous, romantic, vision that we could manage in our tight budget. The team is so incredibly thoughtful and professional in every detail that they exceeded every vision we had for the day. I can't thank Dan enough for so effortlessly translating our vision and making sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about during our wedding day.

assistant Megan showed up on time and got it done quickly. No muss, no fuss! I couldn't ask for more!

uring wedding planning. On top of his passion for what he does, his calm and patient attitude, his work is absolutely gorgeous. Throughout the wedding planning process, he was quick to respond, informative and answered questions before I could even think to ask them. If anything was off, he dealt with it in a respectful but no nonsense sort of way. We got married right after Hurricane Irma, and when he realized that getting our flowers might be difficult, he was calm and honest about it and ordered them early. We knew whatever he was going to come up with would be magnificent anyway, but he was able to complete our original design because he thought ahead. The flowers the day of truly took my breath away. They pulled my whole vision together in spite of my inability to articulate exactly what I wanted- they completely exceeded my expectations! It wasn't just me, my guests and bridal party were all saying the same thing- they were amazing quality, gorgeous and we definitely got the most out of our money. As far as day of coordination is concerned, I couldn't be more happy with Dan and Megan. My bridal party, our mothers and my husband and I were able to enjoy the day without worrying about ANYTHING! He communicated with the vendors, made an amazing timeline, and insured everything ran smoothly- we were actually AHEAD of schedule, and my husband and I were able to enjoy the entire cocktail hour with our guests. Everyone kept commenting how calm I was the whole day (not really my style)- and I owe it all to Dan and his team! I just knew we were in the best hands. Thanks so much for making our wedding day much more than we ever dreamed it could be.

edibly patient, helpful, and considerate. We really appreciated his suggestions for how to create the look we were going for and how to keep within our budget. When we went to see a mock-up of our centerpieces, he worked with us on the spot to tweak the designs. On our wedding day, my bouquet was beyond what I had hoped for. When I saw it, I couldn't believe he had captured exactly what I wanted even though I wasn't very good at explaining it. The centerpieces were beautiful and the flowers for our chuppah were extraordinarily lush and beautiful. It was a pleasure working with Dan through the whole process. When we needed some last minute tweaks to the number of boutonnieres, etc. he was patient and understanding. Overall, my husband and I had an excellent experience with Dramatic Innovations as our wedding florist.

ets. He listened to exactly what I wanted and brought my list of ideas to light. I recommend everyone use his services!

n of what we wanted. He is very accommodating and makes wonderful suggestions where needed. I highly recommend using Dramatic Innovation for your special events!

sure it was just what we envisioned. His invoices were detailed and included pictures of various flowers and vases. The flowers simply made our wedding and the guest couldn't stop raving about them!!

ry step to make sure the center pieces would come together perfectly. On our wedding day I met him on arrival and was blown away by the beauty of his flowers. They were all incredibly fresh and really the most beautiful I have ever seen. Words cannot even describe the emotions I felt walking into our reception and taking in the pure perfection of my wedding vision Dan had created. He added touches to everything from our cocktail hour tables to our cake. Our bridal pieces for myself and my bridesmaids were so beautiful as well and our ceremony arch was breath taking. Dan, words are not nearly enough to thank you for being such a special part of our wedding day. You are a true artist and an amazing person. We will greatly miss working with you but are so happy our paths crossed in life!

throughout the whole wedding planning process as well as met with me several times. I was indecisive about what types of flowers I wanted and he allowed me to see a sample of my flowers early on in the process to be able to better see my vision. He was able to take my scrambled thoughts and descriptions about flowers and turn it into beautiful arrangements that were more than I could have ever imagined. On top of that, the day of our wedding it was 50/50 chance of rain and our ceremony was set to be outside. Knowing we were caught in a difficult decision of where to have our ceremony, he allowed us to wait until about only 3 hours before our ceremony to make the decision. Once we decided to do it inside, he threw in lanterns and some extra flowers to better decorate the inside room and to simply make us feel better about our decision. The ceremony and reception came out so beautiful and we had so many compliments on how beautiful our flowers were.

s afraid our budget wouldn't allow us to have everything we had hoped for, but Dan worked well within our budget and I have no idea how he made it work but everything came out even better than I had hoped. Our centerpieces were the biggest amazement. Half were low with a moss base, a few stacked vintage books, a wood slice with a birdcage filled with flowers, and some dainty vases with flowers. The other half of the centerpieces were tall and I like to describe them as trees because they were ginormous and the vases held so much greenery that they looked like trees. Everything about them screamed whimsy, woodland, and fairytale. Also, our birch arch for our ceremony was GORGEOUS, covered in greens and some white florals. Immediately following the ceremony my husband said, "Did you see Dan? Because that arch was AMAZING!" Thank you, Dan!

ed a beautiful floral outline, and was flexible with questions/requests. We loved the review meeting where we were able to see samples of our centerpieces - which were spot on and gorgeous! The floral team was on site the day of our wedding, creating the beautiful arrangements! We received many compliments throughout the night from our guests.

dding and he was able to create beautiful flower arrangements for each event based on our vision and color palette. Leading up to the wedding, we met with Dan once to discuss our vision and once again to look at mock-ups of the center pieces and bouquets. He was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process and we loved what he put together for us. On our wedding day, he spent the entire day onsite making sure everything went as planned. From setting up the venue, to securing my grandmother’s handkerchief to my bouquet, he was always there if we needed him. Dan made our wedding weekend so special for both of us and we will be recommending him to all of our friends in the future!

with Dan, he seemed to understand exactly what I was going for, and was enthusiastic about making it a reality. He worked with me on the budget to make sure I could get the style I wanted without going over what I was comfortable spending, and came with me to the venue so he could make sure he knew exactly what the space was like and what the setup would be. When he brought me my bouquet on the day of, I could not have been happier with how it turned out! The colors and textures were exactly what I wanted and it looked phenomenal. The bridesmaids' bouquets were also stunning, and complemented mine nicely. Our wedding day was rainy and the ceremony had to be moved inside, much to my dismay. I had only seen the indoor option when it was empty and wasn't a fan of the room, so I didn't think it could look beautiful enough for a wedding. That day, I was kept away from the ceremony space until the actual ceremony started, so as to keep some element of surprise. When I saw what he had done with what I thought was an ugly space - the chuppah, the aisle decorations, lanterns - I was so blown away I started to cry. It was honestly better than I imagined it could be! The chuppah was so beautiful that our guests were all posing for pictures with it during the cocktail hour. I saw many an Instagram post the next day of the flowers and decorations that he created. Amazing job!! Cannot thank him enough!

yle our wedding. It was so easy to bounce creative ideas with him, he listens and comes up with beautiful solutions to meet our vision and still be within our budget. Compared to other florists I talked to before I chose him, he genuinely cares about not overspending and honestly tells me when certain flowers are too expensive and are not worth it. During the wedding day, I was beyond ecstatic with his work. I kept raving at how much I loved everything: from the arch, centerpieces, bouquets, and boutineers. He even did my uplighting and placed strands of lighting along the main staircase of my reception room (at a very affordable price), which looked amazing! During makeup and hair, I called to see if he could drop off any baby’s breath for my bridesmaid’s hair, and he came within minutes! Dan, Albert and I thank you SO much for creating such an incredibly beautiful story for my wedding day. You’re awesome and we are so happy we went with you!

and listens to what you are envisioning, while staying within your budget. He does a complete mockup of your flowers a few months before the wedding. After we had ours, I decided I wanted to go in a completely different direction. Dan took this information in stride and had me come in again. We looked through more pictures so Dan could understand what I wanted. Dan continued to send me more pictures so we could continue to tweak the flowers. A few days before the wedding, we made some seating changes that had the bridal party sitting with us at the head table. Once again, Dan was wonderful and said he could absolutely handle this change. When Dan walked in the morning of our wedding to deliver the flowers, it was exactly what I had been envisioning! The bouquets were amazing! Walking into the cocktail hour and then the reception room just continued to blow my expectations! We did a variety of pieces and each one was more amazing than the last! Dan made a long floral runner for the head table that pulled in all the other pieces. I would highly recommend Dan for any floral needs. He truly holds your hand, making sure to stick within your budget. You can't help but feel you are working with an old friend because he is so inviting, attentive and caring. Once you met Dan, you will have found your florist!

ur budget and wants to make your floral dreams come true. Our flowers were even more beautiful than we could of ever imagined-our guests are still talking about them! Dan thinks of every detail-vintage bottles, romantic lighting, you name it! Thank you Dan!

y what you want. I showed Dan pictures of inspiration and he brought them to life. I would recommend Dramatic Innovations a thousand times over. Thank you Dan, Paula and the rest of the Dramatic Innovations team for making my wedding absolutely beautiful!

ly thrilled with the outcome. The pictures speak a thousand words.

professional and personable. He offered suggestions on how I could stay within my price point but still achieve my dream. The preview he provides to ensure everyone is on the same page was so reassuring. Our bouquets were GORGEOUS and the tablescape was magical. Everything stayed fresh and my guests were fighting over the centerpieces at the end of the night. He hand delivered everything himself to make sure everyone was happy. Even the maitre d our our venue went out of his way to tell us how great it was working with Dramatic Innovations. This is your vendor!

ook me to the flower market so I can chose everything I liked! He gave me my perfect, dreamy, romantic wedding in a reasonable price that I could afford. Thank you so much Dan! Laura

er pieces, and he didn't dissapoint!!! The flowers were absolutely amazing!!! He even helped with a super last minute request. He was nice, helpful, genuine and knowlegable. I will forever recommend you, Dan!! Thank you for helping make our night perfect :)

ad of our wedding. He was extremely helpful during the months of planning and choosing the right decor! Very responsive, flexible and creative! A true artist! Dan was able to listen to all my ideas and put it all in practice and exceeding above and beyond our expectations. I could not have asked for better flowers decor for our wedding. We also got their up-lighting service and it made the reception look even more gorgeous. Dan and his team did such an amazing job! We got compliments from everyone who attended our wedding!! Don't look any further, if you want a gorgeous wedding and work with professional, caring and responsible people, Dramatic Innovations is for you! Thank you so much, Dan!!!

I could have imagined! He is very creative and does a great job of setting up at the venue and incorporating his pieces in seamlessly. He was great to have at the site on the day of the wedding because he can see the greater picture, beyond just the flowers. HIGHLY recommend!

o make my vision come to life. He far exceeded our expectations in every way possible. I wish everyone would use him so they could be as thrilled as I was.

mpletely at the end like a crazy bride, and made recommendations all along the way that were fantastic. He was doing a wedding at the same venue the day before, and let us re-use some of their decorations and made last-minute adjustments beautifully! He came and met me in person several times, so we could discuss and look at pictures, and was incredibly responsive throughout. If only I had more occasions to use a florist!

rk with. They were accessible, they listened, and they made informed suggestions but did not push their own agenda. And the results, OMG the results!! Our flowers were EXACTLY what I had pictured and hoped for. I am not very knowledgeable about flowers but I knew I wanted deep, rich, fall colors in very unfussy arrangements - they positively nailed it. They also took some initiative with the shepherd hook accents that we had along the aisle and they came out better than my initial request. I wanted our guests to have a bit of a “gasp!” moment when they walked into the reception and again, Dan and Paula delivered. Most of our guests and many members of the venue staff made specific mention about how beautiful and interesting our centerpieces were and how elegant the room looked. I could not have been happier. Thank you Dan & Paula!! Josh & Kathleen Gladstone - Married 10.12.14 at Paramount Country Club, New City, NY

xperience.... my bridal “aha” moment came the minute I stepped into the Dramatic Innovation studio and met Dan. As a bride who doesn’t like the typical spread of roses or carnations I was nervous that I wouldn’t find the right florist to understand my vision. Dan loved it, he was totally into my idea of using different purple and white wildflowers and showed me several types of flowers that we could work with right off the bat. When Dan and I did a venue walkthrough his excitement was contagious. It is such a weight lifted off your shoulders to work with a vendor who is so excited and helpful through the entire process. When Dan invited me back to the studio to see a mock tablescape with our centerpieces I fell in LOVE. I couldn’t believe how perfect it was! When Dan came to my bridal suite on my wedding day he was so excited to see how I was doing and to deliver the bouquets. My bridal bouquet was even better than I could have ever imagined. Brides, I can not stress enough what a dream it was to work with such a professional, punctual, and organized vendor on my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend contacting Dramatic Innovations for your wedding day ASAP!! You will NOT be disappointed.

sion and talent for what he does really shows and it is inspiring! From just a few discussions he was able to pull together all my scatterbrain ideas and create EXACTLTY the look I wanted. It was as if he knew me for years! The level of service and personal attention Dan provided eased all my worries and he took care of all the little details so I would not have to think about them. I knew going into this that flowers can be really expensive, but Dan was so great working with me to stay in my budget while still creating something that looked like I spent so much more than I did. I got so many compliments on my flowers and my engaged bridesmaid even asked for his information so she could work with him! It's really no wonder that his business is taking off in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend Dramatic Innovations and encourage you to book with them. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks again!

soon as we met Dan I knew I had met my perfect person for the job. He is passionate, extremely creative, patient and amazing at what he does. He always listened to our preferences and worked around what we wanted for our special day. Everyone at our wedding was raving about the beautiful and different colored flowers, as well as the elegant centerpieces (which everyone fought over for at the end of the night). I was truly in love with our flowers, they were a stunning blue-purple orchid. I would strongly and without hesitation recommend Dan as the most outstanding florist/wedding coordinator. Thank you again so much for everything :-)

owers, centerpieces, and ceremony. Dan was very creative with what we wanted and was warm and personable throughout the entire planning process up until the wedding. He set up the wedding and stayed through the entire event. Everything came out beautiful! I would highly recommend him.

and creative in their craft and he completely saw my vision from the beginning. My (now) husband and I were completely blown away with the final results and it was Dan's eagerness and desire to please his brides which really enchanted my guests and me till the last moment!

ing and creative in making my vision come to fruition. He was very responsive to phone calls and emails and patient with my many questions. Dan's experience with wedding planning was evident when he helped me plan floral arrangements and talk about design. He took the time to meet with us at our reception site to run through our floral ideas. He showed us a floral sample so we knew exactly what to expect and could make changes if necessary. The day of the wedding I was so happy with Dan. He came to each location and waited until he was sure everything was right. He even pinned the corsages on the groom and groomsmen. I was so happy with all of the flowers. They were absolutely beautiful!

garden roses and peonies! My bridesmaids' hot pink rose bouquets were so so beautiful too! The colors photographed so nicely! The ballroom was stunning with white hydrangeas and floating candles in cylindrical glass vases! I even absolutely loved the orchids and candles on the place card table and the groom and groomsmen's boutineres were beautiful too! Dan is an awesome guy who was there with us throughout the whole wedding day! He made sure everything was absolutely perfect and it truly was! I highly recommend Dramatic Innovation! This was an excellent choice for the flowers of my dreams!

and, our budget. I had specific ideas of what I wanted and he listened to all of them and added his special touches and suggestions to save us money and to make our arrangements more beautiful that I could have imagined! His creativity and passion are beyond amazing! He was not just my florist, but my friend through the whole planning process. When I was sick, he called to check in on how I was feeling! When there were last minute changes, he was 1 step ahead of me on how to deal with them! I hardly saw him the day of the wedding because everything was just magically set up while I was getting ready! I am SO happy with my choice to use Dramatic Innovation and I couldn't imagine having used anyone else! We are still in touch and I HIGHLY recommend him to any bride - whether you are a girly girl or more of a tomboy, Dan knows how to find the perfect balance to make your special day fit your style! Thank you for everything Dan!

but from the moment I met him, I knew I could trust his expertise and I was fully confident he would do a phenomenal job - and he did! I wanted a unique color combination (purples, bright pinks, oranges, whites), and Dan really took my vision and brought it to life better than I could have ever imagined. He does not miss a detail and the quality of his work is top notch. I was an out of town bride (planning from Arizona!), but Dan was always reachable, and he always responded to my emails/calls immediately. He would also set up video chats so we can see samples of what he had planned for us. He could not be more accommodating, which made me feel at ease in the midst of all the hectic wedding planning. Dan also stays on site at your wedding until the reception to make sure all floral arrangements are perfect and in the exact place they need to be. You can tell he truly cares about your big day. Not only is his work remarkable, but Dan is the sweetest, nicest guy and I truly admire his creativity and passion for his work. We got SO many compliments on our bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements, which made me extremely happy and thankful that Dan was behind it all. Besides marrying my husband, the flowers were my favorite part of my wedding day. They really set the tone and ambiance for our wedding, and it was exactly the feel we were looking for - elegant, modern, and fun! Everything was absolutely perfect, and I cannot thank Dan enough for all of his hard work and dedication to our day. Dramatic Innovation will surpass all your expectations!!
