Elegant Events Florist Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
My husband and I recently got married and our florist was Elegant Events. Sheila and her team were amazing to work with! They are so organized and even have a design portal where you can upload inspiration photos and ideas. I didn’t need to upl...
oad many pictures because I met with Sheila and Camille for a design session. I honestly did not know what I wanted but Camille asked questions and showed me pictures to find out what I liked and didn’t. When I met with them, I knew I was in good hands! They love what they do. On the day of the wedding, I was blown away by how beautiful my florals were and how they set up my ceremony arch! My bouquet was exactly what I wanted, and my bridesmaids were happy with their bouquets. The workers who set up the space were so friendly and professional. They did a wonderful job. I received numerous compliments from my wedding guests about the florals and décor. Thank you so much to Shelia, Camille, and their team! We would definitely recommend using Elegant Events for your wedding/event floral needs!

Kristin, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding team. We wish you and Milan all the best
Helpful and responsive. Completely understood my vision!
Response from the Vendor on 12/31/2021
Thank you Karly. Your handmade lanterns were beautiful. We enjoyed designing arrangements that complimented them. We wish you all the best!
We approached this wedding as complete novices, never having had a family member stage a formal wedding. Donielle connected us to a group of wonderful vendors - the servers, DJ, and photographer were all great; the photographer was especially h...
elpful in developing our wedding-day timeline.
We were especially impressed with Sheila’s design team. Sheila did a great job translating a few Pinterest photos and virtual conversations into a gorgeous venue. She truly exceeded our expectations. Kudos to the flexibility of the team and the venue as we had a day-of switch from exterior to interior ceremony location without compromising the design.
Ultimately, a good time was had by all.
Response from the Vendor on 12/31/2021
Thank you Maya we appreciate the opportunity to work with you Your use of color in your designs was refreshing. We wish you and Avi all the best.
Sheila and her team were able to completely transform the event space and truly brought our vision to life. They were also very judicious with resources and found ways to reuse décor from the ceremony for the reception and were willing to make...
other adjustments along the way to accommodate our budget.
Elegant Events Florists was accommodating towards our tight budget, extremely friendly, and responded quickly to concerns or questions I had leading up to our wedding day. Others required a minimum before even inquiring, and I appreciated how a...
ccommodating and understanding they were while also not making us feel like we *had* to spend extra money. Once I explained and showed pictures of my vision, they broke down everything by cost and options of different florals. I appreciated the breakdown because this was not my field of expertise, and it showed that I could really trust them. About a week before the wedding day the company reached back out to check in to make sure we had no second thoughts or extra questions. Upon our big day, arriving to the venue, the florals were already set up and it was everything we could have imagined and more. At the end of the night a member of the florists team came to break down the remaining decorations. We were able to re-use pergola and table bouquets used in our ceremony for our reception, which I appreciated because I did not want to just use the florals once in our wedding. Overall, we could not recommend going with Elegant Events Florists enough because of the excellent communication throughout the beginning to the end, the accommodation of our budget, the trust they always assured us of, and the execution on our wedding day.

Thank you Ashley. It was a pleasure to be on your wedding team. We wish you all the best
I was not even sure where to start when it came to picking a florist or flowers. I was also planning my Philly wedding from across the country. But my first phone call with Sheila and I knew that I was in good hands! I talked to her about the v...
enue, my wedding party dresses and sent some pictures of bouquets I liked. On the day of the wedding when the flowers were delivered everyone was blown away! They were more beautiful than I could have imagined and really made the day and our photos. You won’t regret hiring Elegant Events!
Response from the Vendor on 12/17/2021
Hi Katie,
It was a pleasure to be a part of your day. You gave an opportunity to use brilliant fall colors which showcased the natural beauty of the season. We wish you all the best!
Elegant Events Florist is excellent! As a floral novice, I found Sheila's expertise to be refreshing. She helped pick every element and was constantly proposing options for me to select from. All design elements from my wedding were amazing! I ...
would certainly recommend Elegant Events Florist!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2021
Shontii, Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy you loved the floral and design of your wedding. It was such a pleasure working with you on your big day and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
The floral design for my wedding was simply gorgeous! Sheila understood the aesthetic immediately and added to my vision seamlessly. I prided my vendors on their creativity and Elegant Events Florist did just that!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2021
Thank you so much Alison for the review! We are so happy we were able to help you create your vision for your big day. Wishing you lots of happiness in your future <3
When it comes to hiring a florist for your wedding, I can't recommend Sheila more highly! I was shocked at some of the floral quotes I received from other shops, but from my first conversation with Sheila I knew she was the right person for the...
job. She worked comfortably within our budget and was so friendly and easy to work with! We got tons of compliments on our flowers and the two centerpieces I took home lasted more than 10 days. I would be happy to work with her again in the future after such a wonderful experience for our wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2021
Thank you so much MaryEllen for the kind review. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and we are so happy you loved our work and services. We wish you guys a lifetime of happiness :)
Elegant Events were absolutely wonderful to work with and did an excellent job. We would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2021
Hi Chris
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding team. You and Josh were a delight to work with. We wish the two of you all to the best.
Shelia was truly a dream to work with. We went into our initial meeting with just a vague idea of what we wanted and therefore had to rely heavily on her for her expertise. We were not disappointed. She knew exactly what I meant when I said "n...
ot too round" and when I used words like "wild and flowy." The work was timely, affordable and beautiful. I couldn't have been happier with my flowers and I've been told on numerous occasions that they made our wedding beautiful!
Mrs Sheila and her team are the best. My flowers and decor were perfect for my September wedding. My bouquet was more than I expected. Thank you for everything
Sheila is the sweetest person and she did a beautiful job on my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets and our wedding arch. My bridesmaids were all different colors and she customized each bouquet to complement their dress color and coordinated the ...
boutonnieres for the groomsmen too. The arch was gorgeous and full of different colored roses to match my bridesmaids and she even included my favorite flower, sunflowers in the arch and the bouquets. My bouquet had blue orchids in it and stargazer lillies and it was beautiful, she made it look like naturally picked wildflowers with a cascading look, it was lovely. She also offered services to rent items like cake stands, table runners, etc but we already had most of that by the time we met with her so we didn't utilize this but I thought it was wonderful she had that option. She really could help you decorate everything from your ceremony to your reception and she was wonderful at understanding just what my vision was and did a beautiful job. I would highly recommend Sheila and her team for your wedding!

Thank you Kaitlyn for your kind words. We enjoyed working with you. It was so much fun to do something unique and different. You took a real chance with the use of color and it looked amazing. Wishing you all the best.
Run, ladies. The flowers that were discussed, agreed upon and paid in full up front were not at all what were delivered. The flowers themselves were wrong, even the ribbon was wrong. My bouquet was about a third of the size that I had discu...
ssed with her, and on top of that her communication was terrible. She emailed me a week before the wedding to tell me she couldn't get the flowers I had wanted- fine, no big deal, but she wanted to substitute much less expensive flowers with no mention of refunding me the difference in price. I had to ask for it. I had to email her again the day before the wedding to find out if she'd gotten the original flowers or not. When they were delivered, I contacted her again regarding the fact that the flowers were wrong- I'd asked for white roses, the ones we received were purple, and the lily of the valley were brown. I'd asked for floor length white ribbon to wrap the bouquets, and got some odd, sheer cream color. She never had the decency to respond.
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2019
During the initial design consultation the limited availability of lily of the valley for the first week of May was discussed. Michelle was informed two weeks prior to the wedding of the possibility that the lily of the valley may not be avai...
lable. All substitutions are made with flowers of similar shape and texture when possible and of equal value.
The response to the notification was " Thank you! I’m honestly not too worried about the lily of the valley, if they’re that difficult to get. Can you just go ahead and send me an estimate for just the Cala lily? I know the LoV is about 60/ stem, lol, so it makes a big difference. I appreciate you trying to get them, but it’s not worth that much trouble to me. Have a great night, and let me know!"
Every effort was made and a sustainable farm was found the week of the wedding and the lily of the valley was freshly cut the day before the wedding. 10 stems a large calla lily and 30 stems of lily of the valley were used in the bouquet. Every effort is made to ensure quality, shape, size, color and texture of floral arrangements. The white roses for the bride's maid bouquet did not meet our standard for size so a larger ivory rose with a beige, not purple center was used along with the blue thistle requested. No phone call, test or direct email addressing the concerns was received. I message through the billing app was sent. Unfortunately this message was missed because the contract had been marked complete and removed from the active que. Great pride is taken in the work done and when a client is disappointed we are disappointed also.It is unfortunate that Michelle did not have a better experience, as we have had many happy clients previously as our other reviews show. We wish her much luck in her marriage & many years of happiness.
Working with Elegant Events and Sheila especially was such as easy and fun process. I shared some photos and ideas with Sheila and she easily captured my ideas into floral designs. She had no problem working within my budget and made it very cl...
ear that regardless of my budget, she would not down play my bridal bouquet as it was my special day:) She was very easy to communicate with and through their software program, I always had the most up to date proposal, as I made changes to my requests several times throughout the process. The flowers were delivered to the hotel and venue on time and were absolutely beautiful!!! I loved my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid flowers added so much to their look! I could not have asked for a better florist than Sheila as she captured my floral wedding vision and made it a reality!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/18/2019
Thanks Susan, It was a pleasure to work with you! I wish you all the best.
Elegant Events was great! The best part of their service (besides the beautiful flowers and arrangements)was that they set up all of our table decorations. We simply dropped all our inventory off at their store along with a description of how t...

Thank You Cara for allowing us to be a part of your day. It was our pleasure to take care of you!
Sheila is one the easiest people we worked with. She is always responsive and would answer me within the same day (anytime, any day)! She was such a big help from the time we reached out to her to the week of our wedding. She worked within our ...
budget and gave us really good advices on how to keep things within our budget. We really trusted her expertise. We gave her our colors and had her do her thing. My bouquet and bridesmaid bouquet were BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish they could last forever!! The centerpieces were the talk of the night. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely reach out to Elegant Events! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -Matt&Iris
Response from the Vendor on 10/01/2018
Thank you Iris. I feel the same way about the two of you. You were so understanding when I told you I had to substitute with gerber daisies because the Dahlia crop was lost in hurricane Florence. I wish you and Matt all the best in life.
Elegant events was super professional. They gave my bride and groom exactly what they were asking for. I was happy with their final work and will be using them for future events.

Your communication was very good and you outlined a variety of options for each decision. I saw all the little touches at the final party and I was thrilled. I have never worked with an event planner before and it was the best decision. You allowed me to enjoy my guests. Most importantly, with my unforeseen illness on the day of the event I was able to relax and just show up. I can’t thank you enough and I look forward to working with you in the future.

I used Elegant Events for both their design services and day of coordinating. I'm not really into flowers so didn't know much about what to use for my centerpieces. Sheila helped me to decide what flowers would best meet my vision and they look...
ed great at the wedding! The bouquets were beautiful as well. She was very easy to work with and never once seemed frustrated with my many changes/updates. I also worked with Donielle for the day of coordinating. At first I was not going to go with a day of coordinator as I thought my venue would take care of those things. Well I'm glad that Sheila and Donielle made me second guess this decision because Donielle was great and I couldn't imagine my day without her. She was so on point. She came to my house to go over the timeline of events, contacted all my vendors to get all the logistics situated, and my day went so smoothly because of her. Some of my guests even asked for her contact information because of how well she handled everything. Thank you both for all you've done for us!

I do not even know where to start...Donielle is second to none! She was excellent when dealing with two crazy families becoming one!! Whenever there was an issue she had several different solutions with how to solve the problem. My sister was ...
diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 3 months before the wedding and she took all of the stress off my family and I walked in to my dream wedding and was able to really enjoy the day while the team took care of all the details. There are no words to describe the kind of gratitude I have for this entire company but especially Donielle. She works hard and is always available (even in the middle of the night). If you are looking for a wedding planner that you will soon call your friend you definitely want to contact Elegant Events and let the fun begin!
Response from the Vendor on 07/24/2017

I cannot say enough good things about Donielle, the owner and planner at Elegant Events. If there is a bride reading this who is considering contracting a wedding planner LOOK NO FARTHER! I had to plan a wedding in Philadelphia from Chicago, wa...

I would recommend her to my friends and family and am so glad she was part of my day.

I will be recommending them to all of my family and friends looking to plan any type of event. I can't wait until my next event so we can work together again. Thank you Elegant Events
