Brenda was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was warm, communicative, and worked seamlessly with our planner to bring our floral vision to life. Her designs were stunning and ...
truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our wedding; every arrangement was more beautiful than we could have imagined.
We’re so grateful for all the care and creativity she put into making our day so special. Thank you, Brenda, for making our wedding even more beautiful!

htaking they made our wedding day. Amanda and her Husband came to the venue on the day of our tasting to walk through the flowers we would want for our wedding day. They gave us ideas for our florals, but never once pressured us to add anything to our order. In fact, they did the opposite, and always gave us multiple options to both accommodate our budget and make sure our day was beautiful. Amanda also helped us order flowers for our welcome party and delivered them to us during our rehearsal (and didn't even charge us for that delivery)! Amanda also spent so much time with me on the phone walking through what we wanted for our wedding day when we hired them AND in the weeks before our wedding as we made several changes. My bouquet was breathtaking, the swag on the arbor was beautiful, and our reception space was beyond what I ever expected. I cannot speak highly enough about this team.

y flawlessly! She checked in throughout the time leading up to the wedding to be sure we didn’t need anything changed or added and she was very flexible when we had to change our venue two months before the wedding. She brought joy to our wedding through not only creating the stunning florals but also with her kindness and excitement for what she does. We highly recommend using Farm to Function for your floral needs!!

I cannot say enough good things about Brenda and team!! I spoke with so many florists trying to find the right balance between quality, price, vision, etc and I cannot express how ...
LUCKY I felt to find Brenda. She is so incredibly sweet, professional, accommodating, and blew me away with how well she executed my vision. The price point was SO reasonable in comparison to other vendors in her area. But let me be clear, you do not loose quality or service at the lower price. If anything, it feels that you are the one and only client she has. She just feels honest and passionate about her work. She goes out of her way to make sure she doesn't up charge you, wants to accommodate you with your ideas, and I simply can't say enough good things. Thank you Brenda for the most beautiful bouquet and flowers!!

iece was beautifully designed and completely aligned with my vision. Each piece added so much beauty and meaning to our ceremony. Besides the looks of it all, working with this team was an absolute pleasure. They were so responsive, kind, and generous. Traveling hours out of town to our wedding venue, they were gracious enough to offer to have one of our (quite large) amazon packages sent to their store and bring with them the day of the wedding. Unheard of. THANK YOU!

Unfortunately when my wedding days flowers showed up they were not like my inspiration pictures at all and lot smaller then I excepted. I wanted my bouquet like the picture below ...
and smaller version for the bridesmaids. My flowers on my cross did not look good, my wedding bouquet was nothing like I asked for and was very small. She had to add to it with a extra bouquet she made for a bridesmaid that never existed. My table flowers were beautiful though. I’ll add my inspiration pictures and what I received the day of the wedding.

She was a saving grace for my wedding at the Omni Grove Park Inn! EVERYONE was in awe of how beautiful the fireplace floral turned out. They helped set up and design things that I couldn't the day of and made everything so perfect. Thank you so much, Brenda and Farm to Function!
