Letters from clients

Thank you, Carmine, for creating a memorable evening! The flowers, decorations, and attention to detail made for a flawless event that I will never forget.

The look on my daughter's face when she entered the reception room will forever remain in my mind's eye. You understood my vision, and far surpassed anything I could ever imagine. We were all transported to 19th century France for the evening!

People are still calling to ask "who did the flowers?"

Wedding at Oheka Castle

My son couldn't believe how utterly cool the room was. Sunday morning he kept getting emails that it was the coolest party of the year.

Carol, bar mitzvah at Fresh Meadows Country Club

Thank you so much for making the 50th annual Heart Ball so beautiful. The centerpieces were perfect.
