My sister-in-law and brother used Erin for their wedding, and he was the first florist I contacted. I am so glad I did! Our wedding truly felt like a fairytale brought to life. Eve...
ry flower, candle, and strand of greenery made it feel as though we had stepped straight into an enchanted garden. The floral designs were absolutely breathtaking, filled with rich, romantic colors that perfectly complemented our Beauty and the Beast-inspired venue.
The flower arrangements, the drapery, and the candlelight created an atmosphere that was both magical and timeless! Elegant yet full of wonder. It was everything we had imagined and more. Erin's vision, artistry, and attention to detail transformed our day into something out of a storybook.
We are endlessly grateful that Erin made our wedding feel like a dream come true. Highly recommend, truly the best florist out there!
Our centerpiece flowers were very pretty and close to what we discussed and imagined. We were disappointed in the wedding arch and mantel displays. They did not have any peonies, r...
anunculus or other flowers we contacted for. It only had grown out mums. It did not match the elegance of the wedding. The bridesmaids and bridal bouquet were beautiful. The boutonniere did not last past the pictures. Almost all were wilted by the ceremony. Overall some items were worth the price and others were not.
Erin McDonald is amazing. Just pure brilliance. We met Erin through our wedding planner, Ali Philips, and the two of them combined is a force to be reckoned with. Erin is so easy t...
o talk with and bounce ideas off of and when the wedding day came around, we were blown away at how unique and gorgeous our mandap looked. The reception was beyond stunning as well. He took the few ideas we had and crafted something our guests (and us) have never seen before! He is also very honest and will give you a real opinion which is incredibly important in the planning process. Would recommend again and again, we love Erin!
We hired Erin for the past two years (going on a third year!) to design our annual non-profit fundraising event for 500 people. Erin is incredibly professional, talented, and creat...
ive. Most importantly, he is super easy and super FUN to work with. We totally trust his vision and feel totally comfortable putting our event in his hands. His relationships with the venue and vendors made it all streamlined, as he seemed to know everybody and has worked with them in the past. We can't thank Erin and Co. enough for all of the hard work, passion, and dedication they put into our event year after year. It's truly a joy to have them as part of our team. THANK YOU ERIN and CO.!
Erin designed our September 2019 wedding and created a dreamy escape for our traditional ballroom venue. We held our reception at The Peninsula Hotel and my biggest concern was hav...
ing too much of a cookie-cutter wedding design. I wanted some "wow" factors that would be unique and memorable for our guests.
The entire process of working with Erin was easy and enjoyable. He's personable, intelligent and listens. We met multiple times to help visualize the space and he worked off of the gold tones and mirrors already in the room to present his final design concept. He gave direction and insight, but took feedback and made adjustments if I wasn't completely in love with what he was showing me. He worked closely and very well with my wedding planner and charged an appropriate quote for everything we asked for.
I still get goosebumps remembering the feeling of walking into the ballroom for the first time on our Wedding Day. Erin's design was classic and timeless, but his use of modern elements took our wedding from cookie-cutter to something I have never seen before! 10/10 would recommend working with Erin!
You cannot go wrong with Erin McDonald Co! Erin is the best! His creativity is endless! He is very professional, responsive (this is key!), and is top notch! I have worked with...
Erin for many years on our corporate holiday party, and it gets better every year. Just when I think we cannot top last year's party...Erin goes to work and, like magic, it gets done. Very classy, and, he has a lot of passion in what he does. I would highly recommend Erin for any of your event planning needs...and weddings, too!
Erin and his team are simply the best in the business! I worked with Erin last year for my wedding last August. He was always so responsive and has great ideas. He created exactly ...
what I wanted as well as giving me his professional opinions on different styles. I wanted Chic, elegant, timeless fresh florals and he delivered that and more. When I saw the ceremony and reception room it blew me away. Erin and his team are fun to work with, so creative, and stress free! I HIGHLY recommend Erin for weddings or any other event.
I met Erin through my wedding planner, Ali Phillips, and I'm so happy I did! Our wedding was featured in an Indian bridal magazine and he's a big reason for that. Not only is his ...
creative vision on another level but he'll provide honest feedback about any suggestions you or a family member would have which is so important! I thoroughly enjoyed working with him leading up to the big day and would recommend him to anyone :)
