    Yvonne and the team at YJDecorating were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always clear, open, and respectful, and they provided helpful guidance and suggestions when needed while also being supportive of our own ideas and creativity. The quality of their work was breathtakingly beautiful - the flower arrangements were detailed, concise, and perfectly organized. Yvonne was caring and connected with us from start to finish, even coming to find me and my dad while I was waiting to walk down the aisle to give us the best advice to slow down and soak it all in. She also brought me one of the arrangements so I could see it before the guests, which was such a memorable moment. YJDecorating truly made our wedding day so special, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

    Yvonne was one of the best wedding vendors that I’ve worked with. She’s organized, detail oriented, punctual, responsive, creative, and most of all knowledgeable about her craft. I like the fact that she is the owner of the business and you directly communicate with her throughout the entire process. She will totally take care of your event. I was impressed during our initial Zoom meeting as she pulled inspiration photos from her huge database of events, organized by color, theme, etc. her thorough knowledge … designing the inspiration for your event with you. You are an extremely good hands With Yvonne and her team. Strongly recommend!

    We began speaking with Yvonne at YJDecorating when we were just starting to pull together the vision of our wedding. From the very beginning, she was extremely helpful and honest, which was not something we had seen from other decor companies. During our very first call with her, we shared a presentation of our vision. It was abundantly clear that she immediately understood what we wanted. Throughout the call, she pulled up examples of what she has done in the past and asked if that was what we were looking for and what tweaks and changes we would like. It was clear from the very first call that YJDecorating would make our vision come true. Throughout the process, we had made changes to what we wanted and Yvonne was there every step of the way. She made sure that we understood what would and wouldn't look good in a gentle manner, rather than just saying yes and putting something together because we were paying. It was that openness and honesty that we appreciated so much and that made sure our wedding looked perfect. Through YJDecorating, we had a Chuppah, aisle design, stage covers, drapery behind the sweetheart table and covering entrances, up-lighting, and 3 different types of centerpieces, florals. Everything turned out to be absolutely beautiful. When we took a look in the ceremony room before our wedding, we were in awe at how gorgeous everything was. The entire ceremony room was so much more beautiful than we could have imagined. When we peeked in the reception room, we could not help but smile. The centerpieces were perfect, the drapery was beautiful and unlike anything we have seen, and the up-lighting added the perfect touch to the room. Everything the day of went so smoothly and was beyond anything we could've dreamed of. We would DEFINITELY recommend YJDecorating to any couple getting married. They brought our vision to life and more. Everything was 100% worth every penny. Trusting someone to put together your own vision is not easy, but with YJDecorating, you can be sure that your vision will happen and your wedding will be even more beautiful than you ever have imagined!

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Yvonne for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From the very first consultation, she was incredibly realistic about what we could achieve within our budget. Instead of trying to upsell us on extravagant options, she listened to our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that aligned perfectly with our financial constraints. Her flexibility with payment options was a breath of fresh air, making the planning process much less stressful. It was clear that she genuinely wanted to help us create our dream wedding without stretching us beyond our means. On the big day, the floral arrangements and decor were nothing short of stunning. Every detail was beautifully executed and truly brought our vision to life. Our guests were in awe, and we received countless compliments on the flowers and overall ambiance. If you're looking for a florist who is not only talented but also honest and accommodating, I highly recommend Yvonne. She made our wedding day even more special, and we are so grateful for her expertise and support!
