I wrote a review for Laurel Events (LE) and Claudia for planning and coordination, so this review is for Bay and the floral design.
My wife and I really wanted something special for the floral design/arrangement of our wedding reception, and B...
ay at LE really came through. The cost was a little higher than we’d budgeted for, but it was absolutely worth it! There was no issue with any timeline, attention to detail for the arrangements was great, recommendations and options that were communicated were greatly appreciated, and the end result for everything at our wedding reception was simply amazing!
Bay & the LE floral team were the best! They were reasonably priced, great to work with, and provided beautiful bouquets and arrangements. I didn’t give a ton of specifics as to what I wanted and even still Bay created the most perfect floral d...

Laurel Events went above and beyond what I could have asked for! Bay was so great at helping plan our wedding and her eye for floral is amazing! The design board she created for our day, was exactly what I had always envisioned and she brought ...
all of the ideas in my head to life! We had to postpone our original wedding due to Covid, and she was right by our side throughout the whole re-planning process! Bay even helped by adding on last minute florals for a small ceremony on our original wedding day. The month of the wedding, Bay basically took over 100% which was so helpful because I had so many other details for the weekend, that I had to focus on. Then the day of the wedding, Bay and her assistant knocked it out of the park! I never once felt stressed or anxious about the event, and it was all thanks to their coordination! So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved all of the floral, from the table arrangements, to the cake, to the church, to the big installs at the receptions that they put together for us! Bay and her team are seriously so good at what they do, and I am so happy I found them!
Bay was so easy to work with from the first time I contacted her all the way to the day of the wedding. She was easy to reach and always quick to respond. The florals turned out beautiful and exactly as I requested. I even added on a few arran...
gements at the last minute which she was able to accommodate. I also found her pricing to be very reasonable compared to other floral quotes I received. Highly recommend Bay and Laurel Events!

he next level! They went above and beyond to cater to our needs and even helped with changes due to COVID. Even during the planning stages, Bay Lee was extremely helpful and eager to share her ideas for how to make our wedding floral vision come true. We could not be more grateful for the amazing floral pieces they created for our wedding. Everything from bouquets, table centerpieces, a flower wall, and pergola flowers pieces were absolutely stunning! Bay Lee was very knowledgeable about the size and quantity of flowers needed for our venue/wedding size. We plan to use Laurel Events for any future event florist needs that we have and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding florist!
My coordinator recommended Bay at Laurel Events and she has been the sweetest person I have spoken to throughout this wedding planning process. Bay will look at your mood board and make awesome suggestions if needed. I told her I was working ...

Bay was WONDERFUL! I was a COVID wedding, and we hired her almost a month out due to a complete change in plans. She was so professional and sweet, she really listened to what I wanted - and the final product was amazing. She worked within our ...
budget - and every detail was exactly as I imagined it. She was also super sweet about adding things on that I forgot (bridal bouquet for bridal portraits!), or making last minute changes. Everything with our flowers ended up being absolutely perfect!
Bay was amazing from the very first call. She was patient and really listened to me. She was personable and so sweet. She absolutely made my wedding dream come true! We couldn't have had a better experience!
Bay was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish!! We unfortunately were a Covid-19 wedding and she did everything to help with the stress and make everything smoother. We originally were having a wedding at a venue which I know she would’ve ...
nailed the florals at but we then had to postpone for about 2 months and had a small intimate backyard wedding on family property. She adjusted and adapted so well and brought my vision to life at our backyard wedding. Her communication was on point from our very first meeting all the way to our wedding day. Everything was absolutely stunning and I received many comments on how beautiful our florals were!
Bay was amazing! I am real big on communication and from the start she blew me out of the water with a personal phone call to talk about my vision. She then sent me an email with her design plan and pictures. I don’t know how she did it but wha...
t she came up with was like to a T exactly what I had imagined. Her prices were very reasonable, I was on a bit of a budget but she worked with me by exchanging out expensive greenery with a cheaper option that wouldn’t take away from the pictured design. Everything was the perfect combination of beautiful and simple. Thank you so much Bay!
We hired Laurel Events for florals at our wedding. Bay is amazing! She’s super easy to work with and was in touch with me throughout the entire process. She even hand delivered my bridal bouquet to me on the day of my bridal portraits. I showed...
Bay photos of what I wanted for my table arrangements and they were exactly what I wanted! She attended meetings with our wedding planners and could not have been easier to work with. We got so many compliments on flowers for our wedding! Highly recommend!
