Raise Your Glass Events

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.

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.

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.

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.
