Ohana Event & Floral Design

budget. We felt like this experience was a true partnership - something that we believe is so important and makes all the difference. Kim answered all of our questions, was open to feedback and suggestions and is truly an expert in her craft. She is such a kind and genuine person and a pleasure to chat with :) Since we were unable to arrange a floral walkthrough with Kim and the wholesaler, Kim created a "Pinterest" style PPT deck, detailing every floral, candle, greenery, etc. she planned on using. It really made us feel even more confident that everything on our big day would be beautiful. She also was very knowledgeable about our venue and what looks best there having been there so often, so we really valued her guidance on that. Three days before our wedding, our venue delivered the news that the live trees we requested for our reception area were dead (we were so upset!) so we asked Kim if she would be able to create a hanging floral/foliage arch for us above the sweetheart table to fill up some of the space in the high ceilings. Not only did she deliver, but the hanging piece was absolutely breathtaking. It was a focal point for many of our photos. We loved it, and so did our guests! My bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning and so were my bridesmaids. Kim and her team had them waiting for us in water when we got to the venue. When my husband and I entered the room to see our florals, greenery and candles for the first time ... I started to tear up! It was truly magical and was exactly what we envisioned. Kim and her team set everything up - we placed our candle order with her ahead of time and she had them ready with the casings the day of. After weddings, Kim works with a local boy with Down Syndrome who takes unwanted florals to nursing homes and to veterans. Such an amazing added bonus and what an amazing way to give your beautiful florals another moment to make someone's day :) We can't thank Kim and her wonderful team enough - we highly recommend working with them!

ted while staying within our budget. We found out our chuppah/mandap (wedding structure) was too short while we were on our flower-market run-through (three weeks before the wedding), and she immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. She suggested adding height with some greenery and florals, and the end-result was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Even our garlands for the Hindu ceremony, which can often look tacky, were elegant and looked wonderful in all the photos. We will be recommending Kim to anyone looking for a florist, she genuinely cares about her clients and will go above and beyond!

ess. She really went above and beyond to make our special day so beautiful. She worked with such attention to detail, and the florals were absolutely breathtaking. We’ve received so many compliments on how stunning the event looked. If you’re looking for a talented florist who makes the whole process feel effortless, we highly recommend Kim!

ext level. She is an absolute gem to work with. She delivered everything I wanted and more!

Kim took so much care throughout the entire planning process - she was always incredibly responsive and organized and came to each conversation with so much enthusiasm for our vision and wedding. She listened to our style and provided so many great recommendations that really brought everything together! Our guests were blown away by the flowers and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out - from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding - Kim delivered two totally unique looks that still felt like us. I will absolutely miss working with Kim and can't wait to see what else she and the Ohana team create for future brides!!

elpful throughout the entire planning process from weighing in on table layouts, numbers, and signage to ensure we created a cohesive aesthetic. She was generous with her time, responsive, creative, and genuinely enthusiastic about our wedding. We absolutely loved working with her and would 100% recommend.

wedding day with the garland not working with family style and Ohana was prepared to resolve it without an issue. Working with Kim was an added bonus to the whole process, she is so kind and came up with the best ideas, making the wedding planning process so much fun. She made the whole process so personal, even walked us through the flower market in NYC to see what we liked and did not like and came up with the best ideas to personalize our paper goods. She took the time to answer all my questions and the guests at my wedding could not stop talking about how beautiful all of the floral arraignments were. Please do yourself a favor and work with Ohana, you will not regret it!

and rentals. Kim helped our vision come to life and our guests were BLOWN away by how beautiful our wedding was (so were we!). During the planning process, she thought of things we’d never think of and kept us so organized. She put the guest experience high on the priority list while also making sure my my husband and I had an equally amazing day/night. Incredibly thoughtful and handled everything with such professionalism. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding dreams come true, look no further. Kim/Ohana bring top notch experience in creating the most magical day for you and your significant other!

solutely gorgeous. We spent some time at the Chelsea flower market with Kim the summer before our wedding and learned so much from her. Any conversations or emails were always really pleasant and the process of planning florals and minimal decor was so fun! Kim is so knowledgeable and kind in providing guidance and perspective. Seeing everything come together so beautifully and thoughtfully in the bouquets, ceremony and reception spaces was incredible. They have such an eye for amplifying natural beauty and really tying everything together with thoughtful touches. Ohana truly made our floral dreams come true!

nally showed Kim a Pinterest board and she made that happen and more! Her design taste is impeccable!! Throughout the process she shared her thoughts on what was necessary, what we may want to add, and also work with us on budgeting when needed. I would highly recommend Ohana Floral + Event Design to anyone looking for a floral business who will put you first! I am so thankful to have worked with Kim.

ooth- I didn’t have to worry about anything! We had to move the ceremony indoors because of extreme heat and Kim and her team were very flexible. They truly transformed the event space into our summer dream! Thank you, Kim for everything!!!!

after you can tell she loves what she does Would highly recommend !!

t last minute to moving our ceremony and cocktail hour inside due to rain. She was a pro and made some great decisions/suggestions on how to enhance the indoor space option. I would 10/10 recommend.

iously worked at my venue and I immediately fell in love with their timeless style while using such beautiful flowers and texture. From my initial conversation with Kim, I could tell how passionate Kim is about wedding florals/design and I had to work with her. Kim truly listened to me throughout the planning process and was able to bring my vision to life even better than I imagined it. Kim made the floral process so much fun, always responding to my ideas with additional suggestions/options and sending photos of examples to help me narrow down what I wanted. We also ended up renting signage and table decor from Ohana, and hired Kim to do our day of coordination. On the day of, I didn’t have to even think about the floral/decor setup because I knew Kim and Rachael had it handled and I was able to relax and focus on enjoying my wedding day. Everything turned out absolutely perfect. I am so happy we used Kim and the Ohana team for our wedding, she was truly a pleasure to work with and flawlessly executed our florals, signage, and day of coordination. I highly highly recommend using Ohana for your wedding, you will be so happy you did!!!

and talented. We looked forward to every planning call and would end the call smiling and remembering how much we were looking forward to the big day. We said to ourselves numerous times leading up to the wedding, "We know Kim will be there so it be gorgeous and set up well." We had complete confidence in everything she did and still she completely blew us away. The flowers were so gorgeous (still the background on my phone), the design details and signs lit up the whole venue, and her ideas (like tailored welcome drinks) made the whole day feel so much like us and special. Clearly, we couldn't recommend Ohana more!

r than I could have dreamed on my wedding day! She was responsive, helpful, and competitively priced. Kim truly transformed my venue and I am so happy I booked with her. Look no further if you are looking for the most gorgeous flowers for your wedding with the most genuine team!

hing about my wedding day and it was in huge part to Kim and her amazing team. She was always quick to respond to my questions leading up to the wedding, was happy to help set up other decor I was bringing in (napkins, table runners, etc) because I only trusted her creative judgment, and was honestly just the kindest person. And on top of that, she created an incredibly beautiful floral and decor installation for my ceremony and reception. I really can't say enough positive things about Ohana. If you're looking for a floral and decor vendor you can trust for your wedding, please please work with Ohana <3

e our venue and day look and feel special. She and her husband designed gorgeous papergoods suites, did all our flowers and decor, and helped us think through small personal touches that made our day feel like us. My photographer had shot at our venue for 10 years, and said that because of Ohana she had "literally never seen it look prettier." Working was Kim was an absolute joy and I would urge anyone to use her to make their day perfect.

re burden off us. We felt completely comfortable giving her control of things and she made it exactly what we envisioned! Everything was breathtakingly beautiful!

tanding, and they try their best to bring your vision come to life. Even with personal requests, Ohana does their best and creates awesome product. Nothing but compliments at our wedding. Everything! Even the rentals were a hit!!! If Ohana is available for your day of wedding, trust me, book them ASAP. You don't want to miss out on them!

t decision of our entire wedding, aside from actually deciding to get married! Kim was my confidant, friend, therapist, and someone who was there for us every step of the way. She truly listens to your heart and vision, is empathetic, patient, kind, and makes you feel like you're her only client. Kim went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our wedding. From our first phone call that turned into an hour-long conversation that felt like talking to a long lost friend, to walking through the floral market, to late night phone calls and text messages, Kim was right by my side. She produces beautiful work — dedicating hours to looking at flowers together — and she NAILED the vision. (I will never get over how stunning our beautiful floral arch and bouquets turned out.) Planning a wedding can inevitably be stressful, and Kim made me feel calm, heard, and supported. She put extra touches into the decor and styling that left me speechless, and I thank my lucky stars that we found her. Even on the day of our wedding she personally handled tasks that weren't even in her scope of work, just because she knew how much it would mean to me. She is a joy to work with, a true professional, and I could never thank her enough for how special she made our wedding. I told every family member and friend that we couldn't have pulled off this wedding without her, and I still believe that. Do not think twice about hiring Kim, you will never, ever regret it!

h dried flowers. She was super helpful with planning, punctual when meeting at the flower market in the city and incredibly helpful/flexible day of when we had to move our ceremony inside. I would 100% recommend Ohana Events & hope to use them again in the future.

e were doing for our wedding and were pulling inspo from everywhere (Insta, Pinterest, magazines, etc). We went from rustic to chic to colorful to mute. Not only did she deal with us but she listened, she was positive, she was incredibly professional and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Kim had never been to our venue before and for some reason that didn't scare us at all. She was confident and excited and was so thorough in her planning that we knew things would be beyond our expectations. Kim went the extra mile to offer off the cuff suggestions and did due diligence on some of the cultural color traditions (Indian + catholic wedding) without us even asking. She was reachable 24/7 and was so responsive no matter how many times we asked the same questions...She took the time to visit the venue beforehand and even speak to the owner about her ideas before we even got there. Even when hiccups came up, there she was with a positive twist and a big smile with a new suggestion. She is so much more than just even and floral design. She's just one of those people that you are grateful to have worked with when we look back and say wow, we are are lucky we could afford her and she wasn't booked. You will not be disappointed if you hire Ohana!!

o mention, she has the most impeccable, beautiful taste! Our wedding was in Tallahassee, FL, so Kim had to travel down from NY to help us, sight unseen, only going off pictures. She designed the entire wedding and was there the day of to not only make sure everything was set up perfectly, but she seamlessly transformed into our day-of coordinator as well. 2 days prior to our wedding, category 4 Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle. Kim was calm and incredibly professional and made it there for our big day without hesitation. She made the wedding look like there was no hurricane to speak of. Everyone, including me and Jason, were blown away at how perfect everything looked and how smoothly everything went! It would be an understatement to say Kim is a wedding guru- she is more than we could have ever dreamed of for a wedding designer/coordinator! Thank you for everything, Kim!!

time we reached our wedding date, we had also decided to have them style our event and provide coordination. Having all three elements come together so seamlessly and stress-free was exactly what we were looking for! We loved our flower market dates and we really began to have fun planning and designing our wedding the day we started with Ohana. We loved how they guided us through it all and then they delivered with killer flowers and I was super discerning when it came to hiring the flower aspect of our wedding. Kim, who handles the floral part captured what I wanted exactly! Romantic and loose and all of the decor complimented it. We were grateful to have access to her rentals too! All in all, I would recommend Ohana without hesitation and I feel like I could call them friends!

she immediately began putting everything together. Kim knows how to take the small things you want and create the big picture. She is always available, beyond generous and takes the initiative to get things done perfectly. If your not happy with any little detail of your big day, kim will save the day with 100 different options. She loves what she does and wants your day to be as special as you want it to be. I couldn't have done it without her and can't even begin to express how beautiful the entire thing was thanks to her! I don't think anyone else could have done the amazing job that she did. Thank you Kim!!!!!

arrangements, centerpieces, menus, to even seating chart design. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her. I am stress free knowing that I have her by my side to make my wedding perfect. I would recommend her a thousand times over!

autiful moments for your wedding day! On the morning of my wedding as i was getting ready with my bridesmaids they kept saying how are you so calm?! i simply replied Kim is here, everything will be taken care of! In the planning phase she was always there for me with quick responses and she kept me on schedule. My flowers were perfectly unique and all of the decor was perfect! The flow that she created between my flowers and then bridal party flowers to the cocktail hour and reception was far beyond my wildest dreams, stunning and absolute perfection!! I loved working with Kim and I am going to miss our coffee dates to plan!! I highly recommend Ohana!!

reative geniuses in bringing our vision to life with an abundance of flowers and design details but she and her team were just such an easy going and warm group to work with! It felt like a group of our family friends bringing the wedding together. I admit, when talking budget and expenses, it's not always easy but Kim really put my worries to ease and worked within our budget. I'm so happy my daughter decided to go this route. It made for a stress-free and gorgeous day that my friends are still complimenting me on. I do not hesitate for a second on recommending the Ohana team.
