Event Studio (floral) - DNC

Event Studio was hands down one of the most creative and impressive vendors that we were lucky enough to work with for our wedding. I had been watching Event Studio’s Instagram for a while and have always been blown away by Kelley’s work but what she created is beyond my expectation. Early on we had calls with a few other florists, but I was immediately at ease while talking to Kelley. Not only did she walk us through her process and answer all my questions she was never pushy or forceful. I think we had two calls before I officially booked with her which I appreciated. When it came down to providing guidance on what we wanted for the wedding we let her know the colors and a little bit of what we liked (floating vases, gold, greenery, so on) but outside of that we gave her complete creative freedom. When I walked into the venue to begin getting ready, I literally teared up at just how beautiful the hanging installment was over the sweetheart table. The selection of flowers and colors were beautiful and several of our guests commented about how amazing everything looked at their tables as well. On top of the floral design, you also can select items from Kelley’s inventory to use at your event to include vases, glasses, centerpieces, votives, so on. This not only saves you from having to purchase additional things to help set the scene, but you also don’t have to pack it up at the end of the night. From beginning to end our experience working with Event Studio has been amazing and there isn’t one single thing that we would change. Thank you again for making our day special.

For years the one thing I knew I wanted was for Event Studio to do my wedding when I got married. I grew up knowing Kelley and always loved her work. Unfortunately our experience with Event Studio was a disaster. During our the wedding planning process I was very, very sick, to the point where we weren't sure I would survive. We had to move our wedding back a year due to covid and Kelley was very helpful with that. It started off great but Kelley she starting sending a few emails that were unprofessional. My husband is in the military and he was even offend by them. Then the night of our rehearsal dinner Kelley and our day of coordinator tested positive for COVID. She promised everything would be ok but it wasn't. From the decorations either not being there to the alter being NOTHING like we had agreed upon, to her leaving ALL the day of coordinating to the other vendors, to mixing up the timeline so hair and makeup showed up 3 hrs early it, was awful. When we asked Kelley for our money back for the the day of coordinator and the flower decorations we did not receive she bulked. She begrudgingly gave us back half of the cost of the coordinator fee but not without a fight and her being extremely rude. She tried to say we didn't pay the second installment exactly 30 days before the wedding when 1.) She didn't give us the final statement until a week after that date and 2) She told my mom it would be find to send a check via the mail and to not worry about it. But from what I now know about how she has treated other brides in the past I just can't believe she has a 5 star rating. Kelley and Event Studio has a mean girl mentality and we wish we had never hired her. Also, any bride with a disability or chronic illness should definitely steer clear, Kelley lacks the empathy and understanding it takes to really be helpful. In the end in was just very sad, hurtful and caused us an immense amount of stress.

We are so grateful to have found Kelley and Event Studio for our wedding flowers. We knew next to nothing about types of flowers or wedding arrangements, so shared some color swatches and Pinterest inspiration with Kelley, and asked her to use her best judgment and expertise. We were completely blown away by her arrangements -- they were breathtaking and better than anything we could have dreamt up ourselves. In addition to flowers, Kelley has a whole studio of decor for your event, which is a huge game changer. She helped us select candles, vases and table numbers, saving us tons of time and money from buying or renting those out ourselves. She also hand paints a welcome sign for her clients with their names, date and florals. Displayed in a huge vintage gold frame, it was such an eye-catching and one-of-a-kind touch (which we got to keep after the wedding). Together with the flowers and decor, her work completely set the tone for the design of our event. Our wedding took place during one of Kelley's busiest wedding weekends ever and during a flower shortage caused by the pandemic. If not for Kelley giving us regular status updates, we would have had no idea that she was juggling so much. She gave our wedding so much individual attention. From her quick responses to late night emails to her perfect execution of our vision, Kelley and Event Studio provide amazing value for wedding florals.

Kelley, Allison, and the team at Event Studio did a phenomenal job for our wedding. Not only did they offer day-of coordinating services that proved WILDLY helpful (and detailed…), but their florals were purely stunning. Kelley hand crafted our entire look by showing us hundreds of photos from weddings past and taking us through her personal warehouse of wedding decor, allowing us to pick out and design our look in person. They added clever touches here and there that we hadn’t even thought to incorporate, leaving us with a wedding that really felt alive. If you need a top-notch florist and day-of planner, Event Studio is the best choice.
