ue to a hurricane. I knew dessert was important to me as someone who doesn't like cake, but what I didn't expect was our guests to be so enamored by her display. Multiple guests took and reposted photos saying they'd never seen anything like it before. I sent her a picture of our invites and gave her a few flowers to set up but it was all her and her design. Also the treats were delicious and so fun. I would gladly hire Betty again and use her for any event I was planning!

wedding. From the moment I spoke with her I could tell she truly cares about what she does, she explained to me everything she offers & answered any questions I had along the way. I trusted her from the very beginning & knew I was in good hands! She is an absolute gem & just the sweetest!
She handled anything & everything the day of our wedding, directing things & just keeping the flow of everything. My husband & I didn’t have to worry about getting our own food, drinks any of that she took care of it all. Even on our rehearsal day, I had a moment of panic and she quickly helped to reassure me. Her grazing table was BEAUTIFUL. Not only was it beautiful but everything was fresh & just delicious! I have had so many wedding guests tell me how much they loved it!
I would recommend Betty over & over again to anyone! She truly thinks of every detail! Thank you so much again Betty!

From our very first conversation, I could feel how special your day would be, and I'm so grateful you trusted me with both your coordination and grazing table. My biggest goal is always to help my couples feel calm, cared for, and fully present, so hearing that you and Dalton didn't have to worry about a thing makes my heart so happy. You were an absolute joy to work with, and creating something beautiful (and delicious) for you and your guests was such a pleasure. Thank you for welcoming me into such an important moment in your lives. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and the sweetest memories.

ything she creates is just beautiful.
Betty’s dessert table was not only stunning, but thoughtfully personalized to match our wedding colors and vision. She truly went above and beyond with the details, from the Cuban flan with the Cuban flags (which meant so much to us and was a custom request she happily took on!) to the cake pops that guests couldn’t stop talking about. Every dessert was both gorgeous and delicious.
Betty was incredibly easy to work with, delivered an amazing experience at a great price, and brought such care and creativity to our wedding day. I would highly recommend Shimmer and Delights to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

rs, but Betty’s preparation and creativity truly stood out. She took the time to understand my logistical concerns in advance, which made the planning process smooth and stress‑free.
Her designs were stunning — thoughtful, detailed, and perfectly suited to elevate the atmosphere of our historic venue. She was prompt, organized, and a pleasure to collaborate with from start to finish. Our event was more beautiful and memorable because of her work.
Betty was also one of the very first people I asked to participate in our upcoming Wedding Open House, because I know couples will be just as impressed with her professionalism and artistry as I was. If you’re looking for a vendor who brings both heart and excellence to your wedding day, I can’t recommend Shimmer and Delights enough.

the desserts, they were incredible! Everything tasted 10/10 and it was exactly what we wanted for a nontraditional dessert option. She even threw in a few extra desserts that we did not order which was such a pleasant surprise. Whether or not you have a cake the dessert bar set up Betty provides is an excellent addition to a wedding reception. We loved it and so did our guests! Betty was also so easy to work with and so happy and kind throughout the whole process. She also made us a small box of desserts to take with us after the wedding which was such a kind gesture. We can't recommend her and her business enough!
