Talana did an absolutely phenomenal job with our wedding and was amazing to work with throughout the entire process!! She truly went above and beyond to understand my floral vision - even when I completely changed my vision a few months before the wedding. Throughout the planning process she offered suggestions for how to bring my vision to life while still being conscious of my budget. But most importantly, she executed everything PERFECTLY! I fully trusted her to bring my vision to life and she far exceeded my expectations. From the continuous aisle runner to the arbor and planters, the ceremony space was a dream. She also flipped all of the florals for the reception and made the space come to life. I wish I could have my wedding all over again just to work with her again.

Talana was so much fun to work with and her florals made my boho chic garden party wedding dreams come true! She shared in my vision and helped to curate florals that fit our budget while still maintaining the whimsical uniqueness that I was hoping for. Talana is also an amazing baker, and although we opted to save some money and bake our own wedding treats, she provided us with tasty samples as we considered our options. Talana is a very busy lady, so sometimes communication was a challenge…just don’t be afraid to double text! She is extremely sweet and will always get back to you eventually! I highly recommend Talana for all your event planning needs!

I cannot begin to describe how amazing and talented Talana is. From our first call, she totally understood what I wanted and she made my vision come true. Her eye for design is amazing. The flower arrangements were STUNNING and seemed like they should be featured in a magazine. I am someone with very high standards, as my dad is a florist, and she exceeded all expectations I had. She truly is such a wonderful and caring person, and I recommend her with the most confidence!!!!

Talana absolutely nailed our florals! From my bridal bouquet to all the bridesmaids, to especially our grounded arch for the ceremony! They were all beautiful and I could not be happier with them. My mother several days later when I mentioned dropping off my bouquet to be preserved raved about the florals and thought they were especially stunning

Talana was spot on in creating my floral vision. She is passionate about her work and gives it her all in every floral arrangement she makes.
My wedding bouquet was perfect. The size and flowers were spot on, and it was better than I could have imagined. The boutonniere's were fun yet traditional, and last but not least, my ground floral half arch was gorgeous. Talana was great to work with and did not disappoint. I enjoyed working with her so much and would highly recommend her.

Talana was a delight to work with during the wedding planning process. She understood our vision immediately and went above and beyond to execute what we had dreamed up. My bridal bouquet was lovely, and our arbor decorations and centerpieces were the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen. She also made and decorated our delicious cake, which got amazing reviews from our guests. We highly recommend her, and have already recommended her to friends!

Talana was amazing! Not only is she extremely professional, but she is so kind and makes you feel so special on your big day. We hired her for both our florals and our wedding cake. With the added challenge of planning our wedding while living in a different state, Talana was very reassuring and even gave many great ideas to help our vision come to life. The florals were absolutely beautiful and she helped us stay within our budget!
We had already fallen in love during our tasing, but our guests absolutely loved the cake! Talana is truly gifted when it comes to both baking and design. We will definitely be recommending her to our friends and family in the lehigh valley area!

I struggle with this review a bit because Talana as a person seems wonderful… however I don’t feel like I completely got what I asked for and it crushes me. I was sent a photograph/I sent photographs of a full arbor of flowers, bouquets of all wildflowers with minimal roses, and kept emphasizing eucalyptus. Our bouquets, although pretty, felt like they missed the mark, and the arbor felt slightly bare with just two patches of florals then just greens. The roses also had some dead petals we were picking off before going down. There were hints of eucalyptus and wildflowers but roses were definitely the focal. We also asked for the tables to be filled with eucalyptus in the center pieces and it felt like just leaves and loose flowers in the middle. Our wedding planner actually came up to the room while we were getting ready and said she dropped off flowers early and left before ceremony even started and was panicking saying there were very few flowers around. Some strands here and there. I hate to leave the review bc again, Talana was very friendly but I unfortunately felt really disappointed on the day and I wouldn’t want that for other brides. Just made sure you know exactly what you’re getting and it’s really set in stone and I think she’d do great.

TALANA IS AMAZING! Hire her for your wedding! She is not only insanely talented when it comes to her floral work, but she is also incredibly kind and makes planning fun! When we first met her, I knew we had picked a good one. She went above and beyond to walk through our vision, she was accommodating when we had lots of questions, and I can say when she showed up day of with our wedding flowers, my jaw literally dropped at the sight of them. She did such a wonderful job and I got compliments all day and night. When people told me "These are the most beautiful wedding flowers I have ever seen" I simply agreed because I felt the same way! Hire her, you will not regret it! Talana - thank you again, we are forever grateful! :)

Talana has a contagious energy and passion around weddings and flowers that were unmatched. Unfortunately Talana went through a medical emergency from the time we booked her to the time of our wedding. We would have been understanding if we knew this from the start but there was a lack of communication for weeks/months during the wedding process that left us wondering if we needed to search for a new florist.
In the end, we did feel some floral details were missed on the wedding day [arch was incorrect, no cocktail table tie backs among other small things that were communicated and agreed upon].
Maybe this was the exception due to the difficult circumstances she was going through at the time, but for me, I just can't give a strong endorsement based on my experience.

Steven,
Thank you so much for your review as it is welcomed with both positive and const...
ructive feedback. As discussed during our phone conversations, yes being diagnosed with breast cancer certainly played a major role in my lack of communication and being delayed. I understand that, in turn that put couples in a stressful situation and with unwanted feelings. For that I am sorry. As far as the day of is concerned let's address some of which you mentioned. The arbor did in fact have to change due to the one discussed being damaged. The arbor itself was an element you were not charged a rental fee for and in turn we offered some suggestions that we paid for, for usage. We do apologize for that mishap but did our best in proving an alternation option. Cocktail tie back were not placed on the cocktail tables because the linens ordered by your venue were not long enough. When drawing the linens, the cross base of the table was completely exposed creating a rather unpleasing look. We did in fact make your day of coordinator that you hired aware of the situation. In turn, there were also nearly double the amount of cocktail tables present vs what you were invoiced for , and we provided either additional greenery and candles or bottled floral for those, at no charge. We were given more bottles by the mother who made them and filled those also free of charge. Greenery was added to the memorial table complimentary as well as a piece for the bar. We were made aware that the sashes for the chairs were not found, although left. If there were addition items that you felt were missed, we would have hoped to have been made aware of that day of by your coordinator giving us the chance to return and fulfill. We ran though a list to make sure all items were well accounted for before leaving the venue. Regardless of such, we are sorry that your experience wasn't up to your expectation and can use this to improve how things are handled in the future. We wish you and Rachel the absolutely best in the future. Congratulations on your wedding!

TALANA IS AMAZING! She did the flowers for my wedding last month, and everything came out better than I could have ever imagined! She is so kind, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. When she arrived at my house with the wedding party florals, I couldn't stop staring at my bouquet. It was the most beautiful bouquet I had ever seen. Walking into the venue later that day, my husband and I looked around in awe. Everything looked so whimsical, romantic, and soft - exactly what we wanted, and so much more. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on my flowers at my wedding. In fact, the priest that married my husband and I, who has been working for 40+ years, said that our bouquets were the most beautiful he's ever seen. I'm so happy I booked Talana and encourage anyone else to do the same!

Talana was great for our wedding day! She was responsive, understanding, and thoughtful. I am a simple bride and was a bit intimidated of decorating at first. The florals exceeded every expectation that I had for our day. She made simple sunflowers pop in every natural beautiful way that was perfect for our venue. The arch, bouquets, and reception decor blew me away and I couldn’t help my excitement on our wedding day. Talana personally delivered our bouquets the day-of and set up the arch. She is down-to-earth and transparent. We appreciated her help and would hire her again!!

Let's start with the positive. Talana's talent is unmatched! Our arch design, centerpieces, and floral arrangements exceeded our expectations. Everything was absolutely stunning!
However, leading up to the day of our wedding was extremely stressful. Communication was a nightmare for us! We didn't hear from her until 36 days before our wedding, and that's because we reached out to her. We scheduled a phone call to talk about why we hadn't heard from her prior and she explained her case, which we appreciated. Our in-person session to pick floral designs was pleasing. She even treated us to lunch as an apology, which was a very nice gesture.
Following that interaction, communication was still an issue. Bummer! We had to keep following up about the final floral plan. She didn't send it or complete it when she said she would, which was a disappointment. We didn't receive our final floral plan until the day the final payment was due.
We did appreciate that she communicated that the venue changed the ceremony location due to the weather. We would recommend using her services if you are flexible with planning details and communication.

will help me learn and grow. I was truly honored to be part of your special day. More importantly, I deeply apologize for lack of communication and punctuality. As previously expressed, no one can really know what your day to day may be after being diagnosed with cancer. Though not an excuse, it most certainly played the factor on all fronts. Again, my apologies and I know now how I can and will improve so that clients do not feel as you have. I wish you both the very best in the future together.

She also made everything work within our budget and had great ideas on how to repurpose our flowers to save money. I highly recommend her!

I loved what our flowers looked like on our wedding day. The chosen blooms for the statement arrangements were stunning and put together beautifully. The bridal bouquet was a work of art. Talana is a wonderful person and clearly a very talented florist. Unfortunately, trying to work with her in the months leading up to our wedding was a very stressful experience for me as a bride though. Communication was lacking even up until the final 2 weeks. Expectations were often set but then not met. For example, I asked for an updated COI and it took 3 months and multiple unanswered emails and texts to get it, even after being told multiple times I would get it the next day. She told me she would check in at a certain time and then I wouldn’t hear anything. I think it comes down to what you’re okay with handling. Having a coordinator may help as this person would be able to help keep you and Talana organized together. I personally had to hire one to help in the final month and I am very glad I did. Overall, I was happy with the end result and the price point and for that would recommend hiring her, though you or your coordinator will most likely have to lead communication unless something changes.

As I was looking through my venue’s Instagram, I found a bride that had used Talana for her wedding and after seeing her work I knew she was the florist I had to have. Her work just speaks for itself. Talana is such a bright light and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Her excitement for her couples is unmatched. She took my Pinterest inspiration and nailed the execution. Every single floral was absolutely stunning and the bouquets were so full. Talana is so talented that she is really busy and has a lot of events going on, which means communication in the months leading up to the wedding can be sparse. But the few weeks and days before the wedding she is on it. You just need to trust that she has it handled, because she does and the florals will be perfect!

Talana is super talented. All of our florals for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous! She has a great eye. She is also a very kind person. I appreciate that from day one she was willing to work within our budget to create a beautiful vision. My only critique is in the area of communication. There were times when I would have to send multiple emails or texts to get a response. I'm sure planning a wedding during COVID when everything was shut down contributed to this, but as a bride not hearing back from vendors in a timely manner can be stressful. In the end, I am very happy that I selected Talana as our florist. She really did help bring our dream wedding to life. :)

Talana did an incredible job with our florals!! I had a vision for the vibe/feeling and general stems and she grasped exactly what I was looking for and made it happen. I even wanted to change some of the colors right before the wedding by making it 'brighter' - I gave some general direction but trusted her and she brought to life exactly what I wanted. Everything was big and lush, specially the bouquets. I was really so happy impressed! Talana is also very affordable for florals, she was able to deliver everything I asked for and more within my floral budget. Would definitely reccommend her!

Talana’s work for our wedding in September of 2021 was absolutely gorgeous! She went above and beyond to make our dream wedding look come true. Talana did all the design for our church ceremony, our individual florals and the entire reception venue. We had a specific idea in our head of how we wanted our wedding to look and Talana leaned into our magenta English garden theme and delivered beyond our expectations. In addition to being so talented with design and florals, Talana also created our cake and a beautifully delicious donut display. Our guests did not stop talking about the wonderful donuts and cake and we received so many compliments on Talana’s work. If you are planning a wedding, go with Talana for both your florals, wedding cake and desserts. She is amazing.

Talana is hands down the sweetest soul imaginable. Talana was one of the first vendor's we selected for our big day and during Covid we were forced to postpone. She was so flexible in accommodating our new day and was a loving ear to talk into through the planning and postponing process. When our day finally came I was nearly in tears with how beautiful our florals were. My bouquet + venue florals were everything I could have dreamed of- 'Nailed it' doesn't even cover it. Talana also helped us with a dessert bar that doubled as our "doggie bags" and favors. The desserts were such a hit and absolutely delicious. I loved getting selfies the next morning of our guests having cupcakes and donuts for breakfast. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our day so special!

Talana Maria is a dream maker. I met Talana at a bridal show in January 2020 after finding her profile on The Knot. From the day we met, I knew she was my person. During our first meeting, she was warm and welcoming, and she made me feel like I could have everything I ever dreamed of. Not only was she within my price range, but she was also willing to listen to all my requests from the flowers I would love to have to the ones I didn’t want to have at all. Throughout the 18 months we were preparing for our wedding (yes, in the height of COVID), I was able to meet with Talana several times and her enthusiasm was greatly appreciated and loved given everything the whole world was dealing with. As we approached the home stretch, and wedding season was again beginning to pick up, I was always able to check in with her to make sure everything was in order. In the end, just as I knew she would, Talana gave me my dream wedding, so much more than I could have ever imagined. And in the end of this experience, not only do I have my forever florist, but I also have a friend for life. Thank you Talana!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Talana for our wedding last month. We booked her for our wedding during COVID so all the communication about our vision had to happen over the phone/through email but I could still get the sense just how passionate she was about her work and how much of an overall effort she was going to put into our big day being what we imagined it would be. We met with her in person closer to the wedding to finalize details and we adored being able to check out the little shop she had. She made everything very easy for us and always kept the budget we had in mind which was super important.
The day of the wedding, we were able to chat briefly but Talana was busy setting up the dream arbor that I had envisioned. It was everything I could have ever hoped for. The florals for the wedding party, my bouquet and all our parents florals were beautiful. I walked into the reception and was able to see the amazing work she did with the minimalistic centerpieces on top of the wood slabs we provided. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding in the PA area, I could not recommend Talana more. She is such a pleasure to work with and extremely talented.

If you want your wedding to be breathtaking, jaw-dropping, and above and beyond anything you could ever imagine, then you need to hire Talana! We changed our wedding plans due to COVID-19, and we were in need of a florist and a dessert vendor with only 3 months before our wedding date. Luckily, Talana was available and was on board to work our wedding even though she already had a packed schedule. She completely understood exactly what we were looking for, and she made our venue look even better than we had expected. She let us use many of her own items, such as candles and a cake stand, and she let us return them to her after our honeymoon. She also let us do a take-home cake and donut tasting (it was take-home to stay safe from COVID-19), and she let us try out so many different cake, frosting, and filling options. We were very particular about how we wanted out cake to look, and she nailed it perfectly. She also gave us extra donuts and mini pies free of charge! Our guests kept raving over how beautiful all of the flowers and greenery at the wedding were, and everyone loved all of the desserts that Talana baked. I highly recommend Talana for all of your floral and dessert needs!

She went out of her way to help us even after our wedding day (I messed up trying to press my flowers). We are so thankful she was our florist and that we had the opportunity to meet such a sweet, compassionate woman. I would hands-down recommend her to anyone!

Talana was such a joy to work with!! She has a great eye for design and was so helpful with making choices on the style we were going with for our florals. Talana created a stunning arbor for behind our sweetheart table which I highly recommend!! Our girls bouquets were flawless and our centerpieces perfect! It was exactly what I imagined in my head. It turned out beautiful and I can’t say enough good things about her!

Talana was absolutely amazing! We became friends during the whole wedding process and she went above and beyond for me. My flowers and décor were absolutely STUNNING! She was also a phone call or text away which was so helpful during a stressful planning process. Everything I explained to her that I wanted became a reality and everything was beautiful from my arbor, to the center pieces, to the bouquets, even the cake flowers! I was blown away by the quality of her flowers and her work and my whole family has her beautiful flowers displayed in their houses as they still look amazing days after our wedding! Her work is so modern and with the times and I am so so happy for using her for our wedding and gaining a true angel of a friend!

Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to speak with a few florists to get a feel of how they can make my wedding the vision I was going for. They promised the same thing at different price points but never wowed us with their proposals. Then comes our visit with Talana. As soon as we started talking, we just clicked. She patiently listened to my fiance's floral vision. She offered insightful feedback and opinions. She was gracious and professional. She was highly informed and flexible. After our thirty minute meeting, we felt that we created a partnership rather than hiring a vendor. She instantly became a team player and did whatever she could to see our vision come to life. It wasn't just talk either. As charming and professional as she was, Talana delivered big time. Her flowers were exquisite. Each arrangement was like out of a fairy-tale garden. We were so impressed with her arrangements that I know for a fact that we will be recommending her to our network of friends for big events. My wife and I stumbled upon Talana by searching on The Knot. But we are so happy we took her meeting because she went above and beyond our expectations. And she can bake too! We haven't had the chance to eat her desserts, but Talana, we're ready for them!

Talana's work was un-freaking-believable. The floral and pastry design was like walking into a fairy-tale. Talana was a joy to work with, very communicative and super creative.
Our vision came to life beyond expectation AND she was generous to work with our budget. Thoughtful, nuanced, and luscious. Just absolutely stunning. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Words can't describe the amazing things that Talana was able to do for my wedding. I know I am a little bit late on my review but better late then never. Talana was a dream to work for and she made things so easy and beautiful. I was lucky enough that she was able to do my flowers, reception table settings, and I can't forget my husband's favorite part which was the desserts. She was even gracious enough to have a second tasting for my husband as he travels a lot for work. I just wanted the ceremony/reception area to have the most beautiful little details but also simple. She made these long green trails of greenery down each table with accents of candles and flowers. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous along with all my girls. She was also able to create for me this beautiful green wreath that hung above the dance floor. Now I have to mention my husband's favorite part which were the desserts. From the cookies, cupcakes, pies (apple was my favorite), linzer tarts, and she even made black and white cookies for my mom. We had a beautiful naked caked which was accented by beautiful flowers. It was a three tiered naked cake with the bottom and top being chocolate expresso and the center tier being a lemon blueberry cake with lemon curd. Everything was amazing and it wasn't the head hurting too sweet type of desserts but everything was just right and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The amount of care and thought that she puts into everything just lets you know how much she loves doing what she is doing. I know one thing. Any type of flowers I might need done or cake, I am coming to her. I wish I could add pictures to this review because she really does create beautiful things. <3<3<3

I was a crazy person and planned on doing my own florals for my wedding – I had even started gathering supplies and making centerpiece containers. With about 2 months to go, a coworker told me about Talana. I was starting to get nervous about the week-of timeline and fitting in time to do the flowers, so I called Talana. Within the first 30 seconds of speaking with her I felt immediately at ease – a weight had been lifted and I felt totally comfortable with and confident in her. She was able to work with me and what I had already purchased/made. She was very flexible in the middle of a snow storm to keep our consultation appointment and for me to deliver all the items I had. She kept in contact with me to make sure that she would perfectly execute my vision, even sent me in-progress photos a few days before the wedding.
Talana arrived with my bouquet on the day of the wedding and I knew I had made the right choice hiring her! They were stunning. Perfectly proportioned to me and the colors were beautiful – I couldn’t wait to get to the venue to see the rest! The ceremony arrangements were elegant and the centerpieces were stunning. Since Talana had used my centerpiece containers I was able to allow guests to take a centerpiece home and two weeks later, my guests are telling me the flowers are still alive!
We got SO many compliments on the flowers and I could not have been more thrilled with Talana! She truly was my flower angel!

Talana is your dream florist!! She is the sweetest person on this planet!! Talana is so talented and creative and makes your vision come to life, as she did with our big day! Through my search of florists, as soon as I spoke with her, I knew in my gut she was the one! I absolutely loved working with her as she goes above and beyond to make your day perfect! She is so attentive & personable!! I wanted an arbor arch piece last minute, and she ended up surprising me with 2 pieces along with greenery runners down the aisle of our ceremony! I was in awe when I saw everything!! She is five stars across the board & I absolutely recommend her without a doubt!!! Thank you so much Talana!! xoxo

Talana was really such a pleasure to work with, you can feel how passionate she is about her work. Our wedding dealt with some set backs such as our original venue closing and the coordinator at the new venue just unwilling to compromise with a schedule that worked; but Talana went above and beyond to make sure there was the least amount of stress for us as possible. She really did everything in her power to make sure it was all perfect and what we envisioned. Everything was so beautiful, you will not regret choosing Talana, she is truly an artist.

I truly don’t even know where to start!! Talana took my ideas and created bouquets, boutonnières, and table arrangements that not even the most pinned picture on Pinterest could live up to! It is so obvious that she dedicates so much of herself to her work (not to mention she might be the nicest person I’ve ever met!). A bonus is her extremely reasonable prices! She works hard to make your vision and your budget meet.
I feel so lucky to have had Talana as my florist. She’s absolutely incredible!!!

Talana was the florist for my wedding. She was a pleasure to work with-down to earth and personable. She was responsive and put me at ease! Despite the fact that it rained on my wedding day, she made it work and exceeded our expectations. I gave her an idea of what I wanted (from pinterest) and the flowers/pumpkins/mums looked exactly like I had envisioned! Thank you so much, Talana.

Talana is a dream to work with. From start to finish Talana was there with any questions I had. She was the easiest person that I had the pleasure of working with throughout my wedding.
She really brought my vision to life; from the centerpieces, to the arbor, the bouquets, and all of the floral decor I had. I received so many compliments throughout the day. (And still do!)
She is extremely talented in what she does and I can’t thank her enough for bringing my floral dreams to life!
I Highly recommend her!!

Talana is absolutely amazing and I have a huge girl crush on her. Everything she touches turns to gold!! We actually had originally hired a different florist but there was something in my heart telling me to keep looking... and I'm SO glad we did because hiring Talana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She did all our bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, ceremony decor, dance floor hoop, and more (all at a reasonable price!). I'm not super into florals, but the bouquet she made me brought tears to my eyes. Also, I made her job difficult because I wasn't very specific when I described what I wanted... however, she listened to the clues I gave throughout the process and she totally got my vibe. In the end, she knew what I wanted even better than I did.

Talana made the cake, bouquets, and boutonnieres for our intimate 30-person wedding. She absolutely nailed the look we were going for.
The bouquets were lush, full, large, and stayed fresh through the evening. The boutonnieres were also fresh and looked just how we wanted.
The cake was SO good! Moist, not too sweet, and just delicious. Our guests loved it. She even gave us some extra cupcakes, which was a very nice gesture!
She was also very affordable and easy to work with. Thanks Talana for helping to make our big day beautiful and tasty!

Wow - talk about an incredible vendor! We are over the moon happy that we chose to hire Talana Maria. She was an absolute gem to work with and I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any future floral or bakery needs. Talana Maria took my vision off Pinterest and went above and beyond to exceed our expectations to create a beautiful wedding setting. She created the most gorgeous and fresh floral arrangements, bouquets, centerpieces, cake floral, etc. for a very reasonable price. She was easy to work with and responsive to our communications. On the wedding day, Talana arrived early to set up, and from that moment on, I didn't have to worry about a single thing, especially in 95 degree humid heat. We hired Talana Maria for both floral and cake and so thankful we did! She's a real rockstar!

I can not recommend Talana enough. She is a beautiful person who genuinely cares about you and your event and will go above and beyond to ensure your vision comes to life. I was not looking forward to picking out floral arrangements, but Talana's energy and clear passion for what she does she got me excited. She was always available via text or call to discuss ideas and brainstorm together. Her florals brought our vision to life and made the spaces cohesive. She's the BEST!

We used Talana as our florist for our wedding and truly enjoyed working with her! It was stress free and she quickly captured the vision of how I wanted the floral arrangements to look like for our wedding and executed it well! I received countless compliments about my wedding bouquet (which I still do to this day when people see my wedding photos) along with compliments overall regarding all the beautiful floral arrangements she made for our wedding! The other highlight working with her is that she works within your budget. Before we found Talana other florists we were considering were extremely pricey. I highly recommend working with Talana Maria!

Talana gave us the wedding of our dreams! As a medical student, the amount of time I had available to plan a wedding was very limited. Talana was understanding to this and more than willing to work around my school schedule, which is something my husband and I greatly appreciated. Since my own part in the planning process was limited, I really had to rely on Talana to make our wedding vision and ideas come true (something that required a lot of trust on my part considering I am usually controlling with that stuff). The day of the wedding, my husband and I were in complete awe of Talana's work. Not only did she make all of our ideas a reality, but it was even better than we could have ever imagined! Asides from the set up, it was the most stress free wedding day! Talana made sure everything went in a timely and organized manner which made it all run smoothly. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy every aspect of our wedding day, and I genuinely cannot thank Talana enough for giving us our dream wedding. Her professionalism, flexibility, creative mindset, and compassion made her the perfect wedding planner!
