I have no words for how ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and BEYOND EXPECTATION the flowers were from Vicki and Raise Your Glass. She and I had a 30m conversation about my loose "vision" and wh...
at she brought to life was a magical, fairytale, floral dream for our intimate backyard wedding. Don't read anymore reviews, just call Vicki. She even made my floral anklet happen!!! It was a dream come true.
After talking to and meeting with other florists who gave us outright crazy price quotes, marked up even more because our wedding was on mothers' day, Vicki and Raise Your Glass Ev...
ents were a wonderful change of pace.
We met Vicki at one of the Baltimore bridal expo events, where she was refeshingly excited as we explained some of the ideas we had for our wedding. Meeting with her to plan our wedding day, she was a huge help, since we only had a couple specific ideas of what we might want. She helped us decide on some good choices for the ceremony and reception, and different from every other florist we met, even suggested a couple ideas to save us some money, like moving the flowers from our arbor onto the sweetheart table for the reception.
In the end, all of our guests loved the flowers and rushed to get a centerpiece to take for themselves by the end of the event. We can't thank Vicki and Raise Your Glass Events enough for all the help and the awesome flowers they put together for us.
Vicki from Raise Your Glass Events was the florist for our June 2014 wedding, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. From the very beginning, Vicki ...
was extremely professional but approachable and personable. While I had a color scheme in mind and pictures to show her, I was still very open to ideas during our first meeting. She listened to what I had in mind and guided me into formulating a more defined plan. She even had a specific variety of rose in mind and could show me a picture so I could really visualize how the arrangements would look. All of our meetings and communications were productive and helped the details come together.
I could not have been more pleased with the centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, alter flowers, pew flowers, and miscellaneous flowers that Vicki created! She took the ideas from our meetings and created flowers that far exceeded expectations. Family, friends, and guests all commented on the flowers, even saying they were most beautiful they had ever seen. I wholeheartedly agree!
The day of the event, Vicki delivered the flowers to the church and set up flowers at the reception herself. She transported flowers between venues after the ceremony and collected her materials from the reception venue after the event. This exceptional service was on time, professional, and again went far beyond expectations.
Vicki provided wonderful customer service and beautiful flowers within our budget. I firmly believe she would do the same with any budget and cannot recommend her enough to anyone else requiring flower services. Raise Your Glass Events played a large role in our beautiful wedding. I am so glad to have been a customer.
There are not enough words or thanks that can be given to Vicki Coutrous at Raise Your Glass Events. I recently had a destination wedding at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor. Being...
as though I was in CA at the time of planning, it was very important for me to find and surround myself with a strong team. First it should be noted that Vicki is a floral designer, big difference then a florist. I sent her the pictures and brief description of what I wanted and she immediately saw my vision and saw how my vision could be enhanced. She quickly provided me with a what I considered to be a very fair quote, ut it was unfortunately above my budget. I explained this to Vicki and she responded"..this is still completely doable we just have to compromise more then sacrafice the elegence, style, and quality." Her next quote came very close to our budget without us having to sacrifice much just as she said. How refreshing!!
Vicki went above and beyond my expectations. This is provably because she is a event planner/coordinator and has an enorous spirit. She has a rare combination of creativity, thoroughness, intuition, professionalism, and customer service. At some point, I told my groom,"she read my mind."
Because I felt so comfortble and trused her opinion so much, i began to ask her random questions about other wedding related items such as uplighting, table linen, etc to ensure we had a cohesive look in the ballroom. At which point she revealed that she has expanded her services to include linens. And what an amazing job she did!
Not only did she show up early on the day of the event, but her and her team were finished setting up early and I was told that she walked around and tightened up on other aspects of the wedding. When it got windy, she quickly adjusted and compenstated so that the petal design that she created on the aisle runner wouldn't fly away.
Vicki, took the time to understand our vision for our special day. I can only say wonderful things about Vickki and would recommend her for all of my events. It warms my heart tho look back and know that I had someone on my team that I could trust and rely on. Thank you Vicki from the depths of our hearts. You will forever be cherished.
When I met with Vicki I flat out told her that I didn't know what kind of flowers I really wanted to aim for with my wedding having been in June. Also I did have a picture with me ...
of two different style center pieces that I liked and asked if she would be able to copy that picture and if so what flower would work best? She told me Orchids would work best and even better news was that the flowers would already be in season. I told her that I wanted floating candles involved and the mirrored tiles on the table to reflect the glow. Mrs. Vicki assured me that all was well and we left it at that. On the wedding day, I couldn't believe how pretty everything looked. From the boquets, the boutineers, corsages, and finally the table center pieces.. Holy cow! I was a bride in shock and should I need flowers again, I wouldn't second guess myself to pick up the phone and call her again.
This review has taken me a while to do, just because I wanted to make sure that I had the time to write a proper review that Vicki deserves. She was my saving grace, & I don't know...
what I would've done without her. I hired her fairly last minute as my florist. We got together very promptly, & she understood exactly what my vision was. She makes sure that she understands exactly what you want. She isn't one of those vendors who just smiles & nods at everything you say, without really having a clue what you are talking about (we all know the type). A few days before the wedding, we met at her house to have a final discussion. During that talk, I mentioned that the original plan for my ceremony decor was (at last minute) scrapped, & I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I remember her & her husband looking around their house, showing me things from their own personal collection that I could use to decorate my ceremony. It was so incredibly sweet & wonderful of them! Not only was she my florist, but she was my day of wedding coordinator too! I was a bride who ended up doing a lot of DIY things. I ordered my own linens, had a million candles as my centerpieces, etc. Vicki set all of that up for me, when my venue refused to do so. She did EVERYTHING. I literally would not have had a wedding without her. She even brought some extra flowers to decorate my escort card & guestbook tables with because she had them left over from another event even though it was not something I had paid for. She truly went above & beyond what I ever could have hoped for. If there is one thing that I would without a doubt say was the glue to my wedding, it was Vicki. I could go on for days about how amazing she is & all the wonderful things she did for me, but I want this to be a review that people actual read. If you make 1 concrete decision during your wedding process, make it hiring Vicki as your florist. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
Vicki and her partner were amazing at our wedding. The flowers they had on our table and for my bouquet were exactly how I had hoped and dreamed for. We shopped around and got es...
timates at several florists and they were also the best price for what we wanted.
We would highly recommend them!
Raise Your Glass Events really did a superb job for our wedding flowers. We didn't have a very big budget but Vicki was willing to work with us and came perfectly within our budget...
. She also accommodated us in every way possible including adding boutonnières at the last minute. She is very kind and provided us with beautiful flowers even better than I had imagined. I especially loved my bridal bouquet. It was very vibrant in colors. All the flower bouquets also lasted through the day especially because she provided us with extra vases for the reception. I would definitely recommend Raise Your Glass Events if you want the job done right!
